Integration+Group+2

What are strategies that we can share with teachers to increase integration?
"Peer Pressure"--share other teachers' projects/activities Modeling Empathy Hook to something that the teacher is already doing Emphasize that tech can actually reduce workload...what can we replace, improve, streamline, etc.? Share best practices...offer to help implement

How do you engage the reluctant, resistant teacher?
Encouragement "I heard of a cool project, and I think you would you do a great job with it." "I'd like to learn more about....Would you be willing to give this project a shot and we'll learn together." Help with the nitty, gritty details (burning DVDs, uploading podcasts) after the teacher delivers the curriculum. Modeling "It's not a big deal...we can fix it." Address the fear...reassure teachers that you've made similar mistakes.

How do you know when a teacher understands what effective tech integration is?
Teacher focuses on content and uses technology as a tool Assessment reflects tech integration at all levels; tech isn't a separate "grade" or point of evaluation You just use it, you don't think about everything you're doing (phone analogy, chalk to chalkboard analogy) The kids respond to their own questions and inquiries by accessing tech Seamless use of technology Calmness...tech malfunctions are not disastrous
