It is my opinion that it is
imperative that all schools enlarge a Technology Vision Statement that
reflects a shared vision for learning. |
|
I recommend that principals,
and other leaders of learning, be supported to actively lead the integration
of technology in their schools. |
|
All staff needs access to
technical support that facilitates their effective use of computers. |
|
A whole school approach to the
integration of technologies which incorporate a range of strategies to
actively involve the whole school community in the process of integration is
the best approach. |
|
I recommend that teachers with advanced
pedagogical skills, who already competently use technology to achieve
existing curriculum goals, state standards, and benchmarks, be chosen for
enhanced professional development that supports their use of technology based
learning and develops their capacity to mentor colleagues. |
|
Schools should be encouraged
and supported to make provisions for mentors and mentored to work together on
developing and co-teaching integrated curriculum ideas. |
|
Teachers need to practice and
attempt to describe in greater detail how they attempt to integrate learning
with technology. Teaching with
technology should be embedded within a broader focus of quality teaching and learning
that provides opportunities for teachers to reflect upon their approaches to
teaching and the nature of learning. |
