Chosen Project

WORKSHOP FOR HYBRID CLASSROOM FACILITATORS (HCF)

The Reason this Project was Chosen

Problem: As the teachers cannot always be present on campus to run the session due to reasons like home quarantine but still can teach online, there came a requirement of who is going to supervise the students and facilitate the hybrid classroom in the school.

Solution: To support the Continuity Of Instruction, the school planned to identify and train potential teaching assistants/staff as facilitators. As a Technology Integrator, I ran workshops introducing the hybrid platform, making them get familiarised with the system including hands-on experience for 15 participants, and providing consistent support in the classroom.

Project Relation to Classes/Webinars/Training

Be specific in sharing how content from various classes, webinars, and workshops you've taken as part of this certification has helped shape and inform the content in this project.

I learned new techniques from each module, specifically for this project I took tips from the Personal Management, hardware, software management, budget, and finance modules. This project is teamwork that ranges from identifying the hardware, software, testing, training to implementation. It involved purchasing within the budget and decision-making from the Leadership team. As a future plan of expanding the project, I am referring to building a Technology vision and plan module

Goal of Project

What is the ultimate goal of your project (other than satisfying a certification requirement)? How will/has this project helped you further the skills of those with whom you work?

The ultimate goal is to provide an enhanced school environment for teachers and students. This project had helped me to think creatively, be proactive and meet the teacher requirements. As a technology integrator, this project paved the way to design the curriculum supporting Hybrid Learning. During the process, I developed the skill to hack the system and integrate it supporting the social distancing arrangements.

The objective of the workshop:

We had 4 workshop sessions. The facilitators were a complete novice to the Hybrid setup. In this session, they learned the hardware and software requirements, the classroom technology arrangement, hands-on experience, and device support. The ultimate goal is to prepare the facilitators to run the coverage sessions independently. Some facilitators required follow-up 1:1 training and personalized support in learning and adapting to this new technology.

IT Support:

During the scheduled coverage, they were provided with consistent IT support for preparedness and readiness. A "Go Bag" kit was designed with the lead of our IT director. The components in the bag include a checkout device, dongle, charging cable, and mouse. It helped me a lot to provide support efficiently. There were 2 forms shared with facilitators to understand their requirements and provide feedback.

Down the line:

Ideally, there will be more workshops introducing them to updated technology skills. As of now, they are supporting the high school. When they are designated across sections, constructive training and support will be scheduled as required.
