and if we can tweak the experience for educators in their professional learning, they are more likely to change the experience for their students.  Writing ideas about “21st century classrooms” on gigantic pieces of paper with a felt marker is not going to create cultural shifts; changing experiences will."

It is important to integrate short and applicable learning opportunities for teachers, teachers should have the opportunity to personally observe the technology integration or have the lesson "flipped." Teachers should be able to easily find and understand tutorials that can help them in the classroom. The information can be organized in a way that is in line with our district goals. Each building could integrate technology into their goals. Not just to have "one more goal," but a goal that is seen as something that will improve/enhance a teacher's pedagogy. This can be reinforced in observations, Professional Growth Goals and PLCs.

Teachers can use technology to:

f ilm and edit small videos of themselves teaching a new topic (flipping their teaching)

collaborate with students when editing their work by commenting directly in Google Docs

support and encourage team collaboration in the classroom and outside of the classroom with hangouts

Youtube can be used to supplement lessons and extend the learning outside of the class time

post student creations on story board, classroom Google site, Blogger, etc.

Basically, this means, a teacher who is using current technology to his or her advantatge in the classroom to teach and motivate students in new and innovative ways

Teachers need to model and teach social network/online ethics. One practical example is citing all resources taken off the web including, but not limited to pictures, videos and text. Honoring intellectual property and promoting academic honesty require the commitment of all adults working within the organization. It's not okay for classroom to teachers to use others' work without giving credit, nor is it okay for administration to copy other district's policies without getting permission/giving credit.

This is so integral into evaluating what technology we should use. It talks about designing and developing learning experiences that tie into our pedagogy, and evaluating the the content and resources for content to make it more efficient. I feel that too often we start with the tool and then move to the content and pedagogy, but this has us working to evaluate and decide what we should use to maximize content learning and put the pedagogy and content first and the technology second. This is would be very effective in our PLCs if we were able to look at the standards, how we want to teach it and then what technology can we use to advance our goals and effectiveness.

I think the question remains the same as in Standard 1 how do we get teachers to this point and not just using the flashy app or program that is new.
The other question I think is important to address is the people that say: "I have always done it this way, why do I have to use technology? I am efficient in my current method."

content, teaching and learning (pedagogy) and technology, and how those 3 elements come together to enhance and advance student learning. This, to me, represents the "Sweet Spot" where all three circles converge and learning becomes more efficient, engaging and effective.

The big question remains--how do we get our teachers here? It will take a sustained effort with many opportunities for professional development in addition to a good understanding of the TPACK framework and many examples of successful application of the framework across all subject areas and grade levels. I think we also need a strong evaluation system to ensure that the framework has been attempted to start, and implemented properly over time.
