- 16. Integrating Technology How doyou include technology in your practice? ▪ Find a tool and figure out how to use it with your students/staff ▪ Think about what you already do with your students/staff and then how technology could deepen or expand on the lesson (POST) ▪ Think of a challenging task and how technology might help 16
- 17. POST Method ▪ Pis People. Know the capabilities of your audience. Know what scaffolding they’ll need. ▪ O is objectives. Pick one. Decide on your objective before you decide on a technology. Then figure out how you will measure it. ▪ S is Strategy. Figure out what will be different after you're done. Imagine you succeed. How will things be different afterwards? Imagine the endpoint and you'll know where to begin. ▪ T is Technology. A community. A wiki. A blog or a hundred blogs. Once you know your people, objectives, and strategy, then you can decide with confidence.The POST Method: A systematic approach to social strategy by Josh Bernoff 17
