Open Session 1 Middle School Kit and Kaboodle Encourage typing instruction as a homework activity What are other schools doing in your field? Go see 2 schools; use youtube videos for virtual classroom visits to see what other teachers are doing and how they use specific pieces of technology What is the end goal? How does the technology match up with that? What problem are we having that this solves? Allow the space to make mistakes in a closed community It’s not about the tools, but the pedagogy behind it Let them use the tool that helps them reach the ultimate goal Show them what tools are available for different tasks Choice! “Sandbox” teacher presents a lesson and other faculty participates in the lesson and then feedback is given on that lesson. Teachers teach teachers- have teachers share what they are doing in the classroom tech-wise (faculty meeting, via video on blog, workshops) Students teach students
