1) The document outlines a plan to promote technology integration into daily lesson plans through a project-based approach and flipped classroom model using Microsoft tools. 2) It discusses doing a SWOT analysis that identifies strengths like available technology resources but also weaknesses like lack of teacher motivation and initiative for professional development. 3) A multi-stage plan is proposed that includes teacher training, implementing new tools, creating class blogs, and disseminating results through school fairs and online sharing to promote continued learning.

PROJECT

2. OBSERVATIONS
Nowadays, we should promote collaborative learning and team work.
In general, educators try to develop social skills, personal initiative
and autonomy in Learning Service Based-Projects but they don´t
work in the class to develop those skills systematically.
GOALS:
1) Try to promote technology as part of our daily lesson plan.
2) Try to make teachers be aware that they need to be
updated, because they´re working with digital native learners.
Technology enriches learning and it helps teachers.
3) Try to promote professional development informing that
nowadays is free and how educators can access to it.
4) Try to share our expertise and experiences with the ones
who are interested in them.

3. First Reflection
• The idea is to make educators change their role to
moderators and guides and to convince them to
implement another model that may be the Flipped
Classroom, or the one they choose which will make
them feel more comfortable to achieve the Project
Goals.
• All the teachers in my country have access to a
computer but from my point of view they don´t
incorporate new tools and they don´t want to do
profesional development if they don´t receive
something in return.

4. SWOT ANALYSIS
Inner stage:Strenghs.
• Enough technology resources in the country.
• The majority of the students have acces to their own devices and others
from the public schools have the ones the government provides them.
Inner stage : Weaknesses
• Lack of motivation and lack of personal initiative to do profesional
development.
• Unfortunately, in general, the human being don´t try to do things if they
don´t get something in return.
• Perhaps there should be a special recognition to the ones who are
always innovating and promoting creativity, critical thinkers and
autonomy.

5. • Lack of a short or medium term plan to implement a change in the
technology area to try to promote teachers to insert technology as part of
their daily lesson plans. We should teach COMPUTER SCIENCE.
• Try to make educators change their role, leaving behind the traditional
model and becoming moderators and guides with the purpose of making
the students be the main protagonists and the own makers of their
knowledge.
• The governments should implement a system. It should ask educators to
do profesional development every year, and at least to learn two tools and
show evidence of them.

6. SWOT ANALYSIS
Outer Stage: Opportunities
• Some educative institutions promote staff to do professional
development to the ones who want to, giving them some money.
Unfortunately this only happens in some private schools.
• Also the majority of the schools offer professional development
inservices once per semester or in annual daily conferences. Besides
there are meetings among private schools or public schools exchanging
ideas or projects but they´re not very frequent. Sometimes there´s a
divorce between the private and public education.
Outer Stage:Threatens
• Staff members or unions ask something in return.
Based on this analysis my previous plan was modified.
Then, I decided to change the title and call my project Technology should be
part of our daily lesson plan.

7. Plan, Stage 1
(objectives, look for support, plan the project)
• Objective 1. : Integrate the technology to all the educative areas.
• Objective 2: Adjust the plan to the new educative paradigms. Leave the
traditional class model where the teacher is the main protagonist to the
Flipped Classroom Model where the student is the maker of his own
knowledge and the teacher is only a moderator and guide.
• Objective 3: Get supported from: Administrators, teachers, families.
• Objective 4: Estimated plan: one or two years.
A) First year: three stages, each one should take three quarters.
B) Second year: staff professional development ( they should incorporate
and use more technology tools and change the traditional class model to Flipped
Classroom Model or other. Receive free online professional development. Each
one will choose after doing some courses which tool they will choose. All should
receive the same preparation. Update the staff with Microsoft 10
and Microsoft Office 365.

8. Plan, Stage II (implementation, monitoring of
the project, adjustments, calendar.)
• Motivation: Send or show the staff selected videos who will make
them reflect about the need of a change and to adjust to the XXI
Century Goals Paradigms. Set two or three meetings to exchange
ideas and debate about them. Later tell them what the authorities or
administrators want from them.
• Three months of profesional development by themselves and one to
share what they ´ve learned and informing them how they can do it
free online. Show them theTPACK model “Technological
Pedagogical Content Knowledge
• Punya Mishra y Matthew J. Koelher.

• Second quarter: Ask the staff to implement two or three new tools
having as a goal to leave the traditional class model to start
promoting since the students are little their creativity, autonomy,
critical thinkers and using many hands own always making
connections and relating topics to reality. Share with other members
of the staff and ask for help. Do peer observations. Try to be part of
different educative communities.

9. B)Plan, Stage II (implementation, monitoring of
the project, adjustments, calendar.)
Third quarter: Ask every member of the staff to do their own professional
development blog or class blog to show the parents what they´ve been doing,
showing relevant activities, learning based projects. Share the blogs with other
members of the staff or other teachers around the world. They can create an
educator community to develop their PLE.
Monitoring of the project: Show evidence of what they have been doing at their
blogs, Share your experiences

10. Plan III (project´s closure, registration,
dissemination of it)
• Do assemblies, open classes, school fairs where the students show
their learning projects. Exchange with other schools or/and upload
them to the network.
• Register the complete project in a graphic way including all the steps.
• Public your profesional blogs in a public way to share with other
teachers around the world. Exchange experiences with other schools,
teach others
• Use twitter, linkedin or the social network you feel more comfortable to
share with others.
• Try to be part of learning communities. Show examples. Teach
teachers how to use twitter or other social networks.
• Keep in mind we live in a world without frontiers and you can help
others and learn form others.
