John Lake has been working on technology integration projects over the past 3 years. The document discusses three orders of change related to technology integration: literacy, adapting, and transforming. It emphasizes the importance of focusing on student learning outcomes and using technology to support higher-order thinking. Challenges to technology integration are addressed, as well as tools that can be used and next steps to continue progressing integration efforts.
Which Came FIrst, the Lesson Plan or the App Heather Cato
While there seems to be an app for just about everything you can think of, exactly how might one go about effectively using them in their classroom. Technology integration is not only about the app but also about the intentional design that goes into crafting the lesson. So which came first the lesson plan or the app? - you decide.
Rethinking Pedagogies with New Technologies (Solent Exchange 2013)Julian Prior
Presentation by Sam Taylor and Julian Prior at Solent Exchange 2013 at Southampton Solent University, Tuesday September 16th. The focus of the presentation is on rethinking our ways of teaching and learning in preparation for the new teaching building due to be completed in 2015. The 'Flipped Classroom' is the key teaching innovation discussed.

This slide presentation explains the work created in virtual reality environments during a course conducted at Empire State College, SUNY. With the advent of open source islands, students were able to create virtual islands to meet their professional interests. The course design is highlighted and the students work itself is put forward in slides and in video links to the islands themselves.
Teaching With Technology No Longer Belongs in a LabJane Ross
This presentation is for the ANPS Teachers Conference in Jakarta on the 16th October, 2010. It will focus on how the computer teacher needs to change their role from teaching computers as a stand-alone subject to becoming an Integrator and assisting teachers to use technology in their programs.
This presentation was created to facilitate a discussion around student digital mentors to support teachers and administrators in maximizing the potential of the technology in their schools.
Ways to consider using social networks available today for education purposes and with assessment approaches that can help you understand if your network is achieving your desired objectives.

This training developed for The Literacy Cooperative of Greater Cleveland. It will:
Whet your appetite for using technology and media in your literacy program.
Ask you to select at least one awesome tech learning object.
Provide time and a template to create a integration plan to use your chosen tech learning object right away.
The search for early signs of important changes and themes in education, technology and society occupy a number of people scattered over the globe every year when producing the NMC Horizon Report (http://www.nmc.org). A scan of the horizon reveals signals and can provide foresight to support current challenges in research, innovation, policy and practice. Some of the challenges are more or less well-understood but where solutions remain elusive; others are wicked challenges - complex to even define. David will discuss techniques, outcomes and tactical insight in the field of near future work.
From Digital Literacy to Digital FluencyDavid Cain
While our students may appear to be digital natives, they rarely have the capacity to make wise or ethical decisions as they construct their digital identities. As educators, we have a moral imperative to guide our students--even in an ever-changing digital landscape.
Institute for New Paradigms - poster materials (higher ed) Eileen O'Connor
These poster session slides overview the development and evaluation of an institute that was launched from within a higher education master's program at SUNY Empire State College (the Masters of Arts in Learning and Emerging Technology (MALET)). The intent of the institute is to provide an ongoing forum for graduate students to develop their understanding of innovative and creative uses of technology for education and communication. Alumni, other educators / innovators have joined the group. There are monthly meetings to address conceptual / education / communication topics and to share new technologies that can serve education and communication. Topics and technologies have included: 360 camera, augment reality, virtual reality, healthcare and technologies, visual learning, experiential learning,
Learn about digital badging and its use in higher education and in libraries. Why is this new trend in micro-credentialing gaining in popularity? You’ll have a chance to take a behind the scenes look at the Metaliteracy Badging System (metaliteracybadges.org) and find out how this project went from a gleam in the eye to a robust system being used by hundreds of University at Albany students.

3. Points to Consider around
Technology
There are 3 Orders of Change
First Order Change – LITERACY - Efforts, Doing,
Optional, Volunteerism, Quantitative
This is the WHATEVER phase – do anything, just
DO something!
Consider:
If we had something, what would we have?
If we did have stuff, what would we measure?
4. Second Order Change
ADAPTING
Second order Change – Results geared,
Learning Targets evident, Pervasive,
Everyone GOES!!
Projects are connected to learning but
with broad goals
5. Are we
doing
the
same
thing
but with
a
different
tool??
6.
7. Third Order Change
TRANSFORMING
Third order – Hard to achieve, and MUST
be data driven
Technology is INTEGRATED across the
curriculum
What level do you feel you are at?
What level is your current staff at?
What could you do in your current position
to help others move forward?
9. The ‘smart’ kids today are the ones that are able
to sift/process information quickly and make
meaning from it - - not the kids that can repeat it
10. What to Consider When
Forming Essential Questions to
Drive Inquiry Based Projects?
Need to create specific, measurable
outcomes from curriculum around LEARNING
Consider:
What do you want the student to be able to
do/show you?
Are you creating efforts goals or results goals?
What would you measure? Are you counting
the doings or considering the RESULT of the
doing?
11. Key Ideas
Remember the HEAT (Higher order thinking,
Engaged Students, Authentic Tasks,
Technology Uses)
Must be outcome driven
We need to ask ourselves what we expect
students to learn/show us/be able to do from
these outcomes
Always consider LAT (LITERACY, ADAPTING
AND TRANSFORMING) and how it relates to
HEAT
13. Four Main Goal Categories
Technology Efforts (counting the doings)
Techology Results (what’s going to
happen)
Learning Efforts
Learning Results
KEYWORDS: LEARNING and STUDENTS
14. Trend - 2010
Our goals around technology (in our
system) – 80% tech efforts, 10% tech
results, 10% learning efforts
Shift towards – 67% Learning Results – 19%
Tech Efforts, 14% Tech results
Where is your levels at?
What about your school/staff?
15. Multiple Intelligences
Premise: All students can learn and achieve
outcomes - - just may need a different path and
TECHNOLOGY can assist with that
DI – Differentiated
Instruction
The person doing the most is learning the most
16.
17. Challenges
Allstaff on board and open to change
Survey of self and classroom needs
Wish lists
TIME
Technology not working
Difficulties with support
18. Direction
Learning Driven goals/outcomes - -
choose to have our students be meaning
makers THEN media makers
Students are Producers not simply
consumers
19. Consider…
Everyone is at a different starting point - -
honour that point and do our best to
support them to move to next level
Take their strengths and move forward
with those in mind
Everyone completes one project
(minimum) that has a strong essential
question driving work

Various online tools (bubble.us)
MANY MORE
24. Biggest challenges:
Choosing best tool for the
purpose
Feeling comfortable to open
projects up for students to use
more than one tool
TIME
25. Next Steps - Discoveries
We get tired of using technology - -
balance needed
Continue to focus on covering outcomes
with technology integrated
Explore best uses of our technology
Collaborate more with other groups
outside of our school/board

how far you’ve
travelled until you
stop, turn around,
and take a look
back.
