Ces13 roles pdf
Presentation given at #CESToronto2013. Abstract: Developmental evaluation (DE) supports social innovation and program development by guiding program adaptation to emergent and dynamic social realities (Patton, 2011; Preskill & Beer, 2012). To that end, the developmental evaluator is expected to draw on a multitude of skills and to take on multiple roles depending on the situational demands of the DE. Beyond that little guidance is provided in the literature to guide evaluation practice amidst the decidedly complex and turbulent space of social innovation.
This presentation explores the contextual demands made of the evaluator and the emergence of the different roles taken on by the developmental evaluator to enable social innovation in a case of DE. The ‘preformative development’ of this social innovation saw the integration of microblogging into teacher education. Analysis revealed four roles assumed by the developmental evaluator when innovating: a) evaluator, b) facilitator of learning, c) project manager, and d) innovation thinker.

This document discusses the role of tech-savvy school leadership in establishing a positive school culture that supports 21st century learning. It provides perspectives from principals on creating an innovative culture where both successes and failures are accepted. Effective technology integration requires infrastructure support, teacher training, and technology plans that are flexible enough to change with technology. Challenges for school leaders include inadequate funding, resistance to change, and lack of professional development for teachers. However, an ineffective leader is cited as the biggest challenge. The impact of tech-savvy leadership includes increased student engagement, preparation for the global society, and personalized learning.

Empowering Students and Parents with Social Media
How to use social media with students and parents in a way that engages them and strengthens their voices.
The advantages
Social media can be used as an educational tool to enhance student engagement and improve communication between students and teachers. It allows instructors to foster collaboration, discussion, and the sharing of ideas. Using social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter, teachers can answer questions, post assignments, and provide participation opportunities. Social networking sites also help prepare students for employment by allowing them to network, find jobs and internships, and establish a professional online presence.
Social media and education
Schools and universities are increasingly using social media like Facebook and Twitter to promote themselves and recruit prospective students. 68% of students use social media to research schools and 38% use it as a resource when deciding where to enroll. Maintaining social media accounts allows schools to have conversations with current, prospective, and former students to promote their culture. Facebook and Twitter are also becoming integrated into classroom experiences, with 91% of college faculty using social media for work purposes. Teachers can use social media sites to share content and ideas, engage students in virtual study groups, and prepare them for careers through professional networking sites like LinkedIn. However, social media can also be distracting and enable cyberbullying if not properly monitored.

Modernizing Education at METC
Lucy Gray gave a presentation at the Midwest Educational Technology Conference in February 2013 about modernizing education in the 21st century. She discussed how technology and connectivity are changing the world and learning environments. Gray advocated for schools that value intellectual curiosity, empower teachers through professional development, engage students in their learning, use progressive teaching practices including technology, and build authentic communities. While opportunities exist, schools also face challenges from the political context of education policy, evolving technological landscapes, and managing generational diversity. Educational institutions must thoughtfully evolve to meet the needs of 21st century learners.

How teachers are turning to social media to
- 1. How Teachers Are Turning to Social Media to Extend Learning? By Laura Heinauer Mellett o
- 2. Social media can improve teaching and extend learning time in a way students get excited about.
- 3. "Mobile Learning: Transforming Education, Engaging Students, and Improving Outcomes"
- 4. Several of the most innovative ways teachers are using social media and mobile technologies
- 5. • Sharing work socially. Whether with Twitter hashtags , Facebook groups, or Instagram teacher s are expecting students to share and regularly provide feedback on each other's work.
- 6. • Idea and lesson-plan sharing. Teachers are pinning ideas for classroom science experiments, desk arrangements, and even back-to-school outfits on boards that they share with the world. Other websites, likeTeachers Pay Teachers, have popped up allowing teachers to buy, sell, and share their lesson plans.
- 7. • Virtual teaching. Taking a cue from online course creators like Khan Academy, teachers are creating and posting their own online videos so that their students can hear a friendly voice when they need to go online to get help with particular concepts. Teachers are also using programs like Poll Everywhere to keep cellphone-obsessed students engaged in their lessons.
- 8. • Creating blogs. There's a joke that one of the defining characteristics of Millennials will be that they've all written a blog; and lots of teachers are ensuring that will be the case. Blogging not only teaches writing, it also shows students how to create hyperlinks and embed images. Students can even use tools like Storify to tell their own accounts of events online.
- 9. • Connecting with parents. Teachers, campus administrators, and parent-teacher organizations are using various tools, such as Volunteer Spot to let parents get more involved in the classroom. These websites help parents know what a teacher may need in the classroom or organize who's bringing what for the school fundraiser.
- 10. • Digital Classrooms. Websites like Coursesites and Edmo to allow teachers to post assignments and calendars, take quizzes, and send messages to students. Teachers can also have a little fun with features like classroom polling, which allows students to make decisions, such as selecting a class mascot or whether they want cupcakes or cookies at the next class party.
- 11. Do you know of any other ways teachers and students are using social media?
