  1:1 Management Technology

  • Has been very little change in traditional pedagogy, despite the large intrusion of technology

  • Questions they are asking at Sedgwick High School:
    
    - does it really make a difference?
    
    - do students really want to come to school?
    
    - do teachers teach differently?
    
    - are students excited about learning?
    
    - does it help to install the love of lifelong learning?
    
    - does discipline go down?
    
    - do test scores and attendance go up?

    
    

    The answers are all YES

  • • Schools don’t want technology, schools want learning
      
      - technology can be the means to that learning
      
      - the technology is not and should not be the focus

    • Mike: we decided initial training would not be nuts and bolts
      
      - rest was: how do you teach data collection and analysis with spreadsheets
      
      - now we have regional content meetings
      
      - we get people early to share their issues and concerns, and then shape the presentations by the end of the day focused on those issues
      
      - are working with the principals to make more embedded training as part of the staff day (quick skill shops)

      
      

      Other contexts: have mentor teachers to provide just-in-time support to balance pullout training
      
      - this seems to balance training well
      
      - having 1 mentor teacher per school
