This week I am giving some guest bloggers a chance to share their ideas with you. This is a second part of a guest post from Alicia Roberts. Part one of Alicia’s post appeared on Wednesday.
-
Recruit staff and students to beta test “free technology” – Send a quick email ex: Hi, I thought this link to FlipQuiz would be great for end of the year review 🙂 You never know who will respond!
-
Set the tone – Celebrate others… “Wow! – I loved the interactive video w/questions you created using educannon. Do you mind if I share the link with the campus?”
-
Outline, Explain and Share the Progress of your tech journey – Make sure you have a road map to share with your principal of what you are trying to accomplish.
-
Communicate, Collaborate, Critically Think and Create! Free online Games, Lesson Plans, Interactive Tools 4 Presentations or iMovie Trailers help build curiosity, enrich the anticipatory set, reinforce core concepts, offer an alternative to book reports.
-
Check the Impact of what you are asking students and staff to accomplish – does the work the students do carry more weight than just a grade? Find out by creating an end of the semester survey.
-
Get validated, get inspired! Share your thoughts with the experts and make new friends – Send an email to Vicki Davis, Tony Vincent, Larry Ferlazzo, Sue Waters and Richard Byrne – you may be surprised by their timely, genuine interest and insightful response :0
