This document discusses the importance of professional development for teachers. It outlines a plan for providing teachers with laptops and ongoing training throughout the school year to help them integrate technology into their classrooms. The professional development program includes a kickoff event to build excitement, summer training on software and resources, and continued support during the school year through individual meetings and collaborative projects. School leaders are also encouraged to participate in additional learning opportunities.

Classroom of the Future - Technology and BeyondMaritza Heuvel
Delivered at Innovate Schools 2014, 9 October 2014.
***
The use of educational technology inside and outside the classroom is changing the way we teach. New models like the"flipped classroom” have emerged as more effective ways to transfer knowledge and engage learners meaningfully.
However, technology is just one aspect of the learning environment in classrooms. In this talk, I touch on the design of physical classroom space, and question the very need for constructs like grade divisions and classroom walls.
I touch on examples such as the School of One in New York, visuals of fresh classroom designs and South African experiments, like Judi Francisco's JustBlendit! experiment at Micklefield Primary.
Its about the IDEA college.

This a conference presentation from 2006 by myself and Lisa Vincent from Savv-e. It features our Usability Performance Model for learning, which still holds up well today!
Dynamic Digital Assignments was a workshop recently given for TESL Toronto's T4T Conference on January 31, 2015.
The goal was to offer advice on how to implement the use digital projects and assignments into an ESL lesson (and to use as many Star Wars references as possible).
"Blended learning" has become a trendy concept in education, but what is it, and what does it look like in the context of professional data education & data academies?
I provide a brief overview of the concept of blended learning and propose how to apply it to data education using four delivery methods: in-person learning, online study, work-based projects and hackathons.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

When I took on the role of manager of our one to one program the first project I began working on was professional development because it is really the support structure for the whole program. It had the potential to greatly enhance the ways teachers would integrate the laptops into their teaching and would therefore have a serious impact on learning.\n

District 96 has had a strong commitment to professional development in the area of technology for many years and we have had some creative solutions to this challenge. For several years all teachers have had their own laptops and this has certainly provided the best means to building strong technology skills for teachers. It is an important first step to having a staff that is comfortable enough with the technology to integrate it into teaching and learning. We have also had some creative approaches to professional development. iPD was a program in which teachers formed groups around areas of interest like wikis, web 2.0, iLife and many other topics. Each group had a teacher leader and the response from teachers was extremely positive.\nThen we moved on to NTLB, No Teacher Left Behind, in an effort to ensure that all of teachers would embrace technology as a tool in their classrooms.\nWe are very fortunate to have instructional technology specialists who work alongside our teachers providing more individualized professional development. We coplan lessons and units and in the process can lead our teachers to use tools they amay not be familiar with yet. We cannot send out entire staff to large local and national conferences but our instructional technology specialists can bring back and share new resources and tools. \nWhen it is time to implement new tools and resource in the classrooms the tech specialists can be there to either model or support teachers and students. It has been a very effective way for us to bring new technologies to our schools. The instructional process can also \nThe technology specialists have also supported teachers of younger students and this has helped students develop skills that make the transition to using their own laptop in fifth grade less challenging.\n
Many of us felt reluctant to be part of a one to one laptop initiative but this was mainly because we weren’t sure how we would make best use of the tools we would now have. For teachers this is an investment of instructional minutes. One way to help overcome reluctance is to build excitement and enthusiasm for the possibilities this type of tool offers. We did that by kicking off our program with a day at Apple Computer downtown. It was a wonderful day that helped teachers understand some of the possibilities and created the enthusiasm so that teachers were ready to take on this challenge. It also gave teachers more confidence to know that we could co-teach lessons.\nThe first summer before the program began we met in June after school was out and again in August before school began. This time was devoted to learning tools, Internet resources, discussions of logistics, preparation for the Internet Safety lessonsWe have come to realize that the August work was more beneficial and have now gone to more days in August and eliminated the June days. These are full days that are filled with learning new tools and discussing ways to implement those tools into teaching and learning. \nDuring the first year of the program we met for five or six 1/2 days. We worked through logistical issues as they arose, shared successes, continued to learn new tools and co-planned units and lessons. These days were very successful and especially helpful for teachers who teach in our smaller school where they are the only one to one teacher in the building. \nI also conferenced with the 5th grade teachers one on one fairly early in the year to discuss any additional needs they had and addressed their particular issues. Principals also stopped in during these meetings to offer support.\nWe further supported the teachers who were more isolated by using Skype to allow those teachers to “meet” after school a couple of times a month. Teachers discussed projects and shared what was happening in their classrooms.\n
It is important to provide some time during professional development to involve teachers in logistical planning. The technology support team may know about technology but we don’t always understand the flow of students around the building and in the classroom. \nGoing forward we are planning to have teams of teachers work out logistical issues before each grade of laptops is rolled out. If teachers have designed the logistics when things are a little rough and adjustments need to be made they will be more flexible. Followup meetings within a couple of weeks after the laptop rollout are also important so that teachers can make adjustments and the technology team can provide necessary support. \n

Teachers can learn so much from each other and successful projects can be replicated in other classrooms. As best practices are created other teachers can adopt them. Strong teachers lead teachers who are more tentative.\n
Fortunately for those of us who are responsible for professional development in the area of educational technology there are great resources available for continued training for us. Apple Computer offers many opportunities for training and the ISTE and ICE conferences also \n\ncan be very challenging because the software and hardware change rapidly and resources on the Internet are so vast it is almost impossible to keep abreast of important developments. Professional development for district personel involved in training others\nAs Technology continues to change quickly and the number of resources available on the Internet is growing so rapidly that trainers and professional development leaders need opportunities to There are excellent opportunities for us to access technology in education leaders and resources at conferences as well as through Apple Computer.\n
