In this mindmap, suggestions of how the teacher librarian can introduce and support technology integration are linked in pink. I have tried to use colour to show relationships between examples of passive, interactive, and creative student learning activities (from the PICRAT matrix) and the teacher’s level of technology integration in SAMR and RAT.
Questions:
- How might the teacher librarian, teacher, or staff as a whole measure the school’s success/progress in technology integration learning?
- What incentives could the teacher librarian use to promote staff excitement and engagement with technology integration in the classroom?

ReplyDeleteHi There! Thanks for sharing your ideas! You have so many awesome ones, and I love the colour coding, which makes it easy to follow. I think your first question is pretty hard, as it would be difficult for the TL to monitor the whole school's success. I wonder if we could start by ratcheting it back and just looking at the activities and lessons that teachers do in collaboration with the TL. I think that would be easier to measure, and could also provide insight into where the staff as a whole might want to go. As far as incentives, I feel like your successes with teachers might speaks for themselves. Teachers are always curious about what their colleagues are doing, and many will want to try something new if they see it worked for someone else. So maybe start with your successes and get the word out!

ReplyDeleteGreat work, Sarah :)
I love your web! I wonder what your incentives are at school to promote excitement for the staff :) I think my incentives are collaborating with the TL to do a project involving tech that provides so much engagement and fun for the students!
Hi Scarlet! When I thought of the question, I was thinking more along the lines of extrinsic incentives, especially to bring along people who might be more reluctant. At our school, for agreeing to do certain pro-d, people get in lieu time or release time, which I think is a great incentive. What I'd love to see (pipe dream) is for technology learning pro-d, teachers getting access to tools they can keep if they use them in their classrooms. I recall that just before the pandemic hit, our school hosted a Microsoft 365 training and teachers could enter to win a new laptop or tablet (can't exactly remember) for participating. I'd be curious to know what other schools and districts are doing.
ReplyDeleteI canf think of several ways that schools can assess their success in this area. Qualitatively you'd be looking for feedback from staff and students about implementation of technology in classrooms and how it is making users feel. Quantitatively you could look at success factors such as literacy, numeracy, FSA scores and student/teacher survey results.
ReplyDeleteI think prizes if you can get them are a great idea for incentives. What I'd give for a decent projector and some computers in my classroom!
