Image - http://punkoryan.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/rj_esks_121108_02.jpgTechnology must be used: as a teaching and learning tool, tied to curricular goals and assessment and embedded within strong instructional techniques which willpromote better instruction and greater student collaboration and learning.
PD can promote quality technology integration and learning by minimizing the importance of technology within PD and concentrating instead on the core areas of teaching: content, curriculum, instruction, assessment and classroom management.
Technology-related PD should be:Job-related (focused on the core competencies of the classroom, not technology)Just enough (emphasizing increased comfort, not proficiency, with computers and management of limited technology resources)Just in time (meaning teachers are provided with skills as and when needed)Just in case (teachers need to plan for contingencies)Accompanied by a “just try it” attitude (wherein instructors apply both pressure and support to compel teachers to use what they’ve learned).
