Hi,
I’m alsmost finished another grad class. This class is focused on curriculum theory and philosphy. My final paper examined the professional development needs of teacher in order to successfully integrate technology into the curriculum. What are your needs? What technology do you currently use and what would you like to use in the future?
I’ve created a VoiceThread to collect the voices of educators. Please feel free to add your voice.
Thanks

I teach 2 technology classes to teachers – one for basic technology skills and the other for integration of technology in the classroom. My most successful lessons are those which help teachers find ways to immediately use the technology in the classroom with their students. I try to divide my classes into segments: A brief overview of the technology with a demonstration, followed by learner-chosen learning groups to explore and develop activities and lessons using the technology. This has proven to be the most effective and longest-lasting model for our teachers.
Good luck!
