Public Stiky Notes

    The global discussion we have frames the essential conditions. I think ISTE is right to help all of us put structure to the work we do. I have seen good things coming from the NETS- students and teachers. Some states lack the leadership we need to discuss and more importantly act on essential educational tech learnings. We appreciate ISTE taking the lead.

    As far as benchmarks are concerned -- I believe the "Essential Conditions" serve as a starting point; however, they need to be much more explicit.

    Let's show these to our Admins right now!

    Benchmarks a great idea!

    Overall, these could be used to put some pressure on administrators to move their own practice, but it would be great to see some descriptors or benchmarks. Any coming I wonder?

    Wondering what "digital-age" means.

    I'm thinking of all the verbs that present the "help wanted" ad for administrative instructional leaders: model, facilitate, involve, promote, establish, ensure, meet, maintain, leverage, recruit, retain... Is it realistic? or do we settle for "good enough?" and what's that look like in the rubric, if NETS-A documentation eventually mimics NETS-S?

    This really is the key, isn't it?
  • drichards
    Dennis Richards on 2009-07-14
    Ah yes, there's the rub! How to inspire and facilitate a shared vision?

    SO MANY administrators see integration as a "We're finally done" event rather than an ongoing process. Once it's successful, they want to keep things status quo rather than continuing the evolution/revolution. The process is huge!

    We have to streamline what is currently "on the plate." Never an excuse; currently a reality that retards progress.

    The trick is to get everyone who presents to be competatuve about the presentations - choose one person to work closely with to develop either better ppt using sound and video or to use something else - even something simple like photostory
  • drichards

    I think slide presentations is a good place for training about the mission of technology infused pedagogy. How to train great presenters? How to use this to make learner friendly schools?
  • technolibrary
    C Foo on 2009-06-29
    having administrators model tech "effectively" beyond ppt is problematic
  • nashworld
    Sean Nash on 2009-06-29
    seems more general... as in technology "to learn" as opposed to "to facilitate management"
  • willrich
    Will Richardson on 2009-06-29
    Love to see what some of the benchmarks are here. "Technology for Learning" needs some specific description.
  • technolibrary
    C Foo on 2009-06-29
    would require administrators to aid in more open access
  • willrich
    Will Richardson on 2009-06-29
    This is a good step, but again, what does this look like. Is this a real re-envisioning of the learning practice? A real pedagogical shift?
  • nashworld
    Sean Nash on 2009-06-29
    implement a leadership team to decentralize power and innovation
  • technolibrary
    C Foo on 2009-06-29
    How can administrators model collaboration? schools seem so "top down"
  • drichards
    Dennis Richards on 2009-07-14
    I think this is a key ingredient for leadership (teachers and administrators), then add support.
  • nashworld
    Sean Nash on 2009-06-29
    agreed... though nothing wrong with rigor in standards.
  • technolibrary
    C Foo on 2009-06-29
    Again, this seems like a challenging area. Administrators have to have a fairly proficient understanding of technology in order to achieve this.
  • brasst

    Ongoing evaluation process
  • brasst
    Tami Brass on 2009-07-01
    Technological skill and integration should be partial criteria for hire - a standard expectation that contributes to instructional expertise
  • willrich
    Will Richardson on 2009-06-29
    I don't think this is a conitinuum, is it? All at once! ;0)
  • nashworld
    Sean Nash on 2009-06-29
    i worry about this one though. i think it is a critical piece, and i agree. however, i would hate to see folks who haven't reached step #1 immediately jump into the "equity" piece and buy thousands of laptops on pedagogical footings that might be shaky at best...
  • willrich
    Will Richardson on 2009-06-29
    This could be used as a piece of the compelling case to open things up.

    The requirement that change be "purposeful" is critical- we have a long history of change with no clearly defined purpose, and a reputation for embracing change simply to change.
