SAMR Model of Integration Grapplings


 * The Key to Your Success **
 * Created a class in a class management system and enrolled all the teachers with a post every two weeks but making it meaningful
 * tech tip of the meeting at any meetings where teachers can share
 * Drop in sessions, being where they are and a short time
 * Every week, walking around and checking in with teachers
 * Target certain teachers to make them experts in one thing, may take all year
 * Goal setting with teachers at the beginning of the year
 * building in tech time with grade teams if you can
 * using some time in department meetings
 * encouraging teachers sometimes behind the scenes shine to share with others
 * introducing one simple tool across dicisplines (e.g. I stop annimation in art, science, etc.)
 * if you can use some contract PD time create a day where teachers are presenting
 * mixing in fun things


 * Challenges **
 * balancing teachers coming to you and your going to them with ideas
 * a central place where teachers can refer to lessons, information like a hub
 * understanding that not all teachers are like us
 * making appointments wtih teachers
 * How do you work and interact with parents
 * providing take away resources
 * being avaiable for face time with families
 * family nights regarding the difference between screen practices at home vs. scree practices at school
 * parent genius bard during the school day where appointments can be made to learn how to do something specific like setting parental controls
 * sending out emails to the parent group
 * including the guidance team and the school psychologist with the tech team at school panels for parents
 * the key is realtionship building, but even though you have pockets of success where is the overarching plan?
 * many of the tools I am suggesting might not be around next year or are sontantly changing and can push people away
 * what do you do if you have a teacher that just doesn't believe in integration
 * keep trying
 * keep trying


 * Questions **
 * Should we have information literacy integrators?
 * yes and that would be someone based in the library but not teaching llibrary classes
 * organizing meetings with grade levels and collaborative teams
 * teasing out when skills are being taught and when they are expected to have already been taught
 * What is going on in other schools? opportunities? limits?
 * How do integrators do their job?
 * Is this even something that should be happening in school?
 * What is the value that you are adding?
