"Keep the focus on learning objectives."  Bringing it back to the Triple-E Framework!  Sometimes devices/technology do not need to be used.
Loved the idea of "Interactive Learning Challenges" or "The APPMazing Race."  A great way to get teachers invested, focused, and collaborating!

"How" is Really Where the Rubber Meets the Road

"Staff can have complete belief in the concept of personalized learning with the "why", but without a way to implement, train, model, and "the how", most initiatives will struggle or fail." I think we have to be cognizant of where teachers are, so we can either bring them up to speed, or keep accelerating on the right path.

"Professional Learning is the gas that makes the car go."  We must provide targeted, regular, high-quality pd to fuel the effective use of technology.

"If technology doesn't work, then you can't integrate it....However, if districts truly want to use these tools for learning, it would appear the next step is figuring out a way to fund that professional support person to help integrate the technology."
It's kind of like a diet, if you only change the way you eat but not your exercise, you won't see the best results. In order to maximize impact both diet and exercise need tweaking. For tech, both hardware and software support must be provided.

"Focus of training be on pedagogy and how the technology can make the curriculum come to life."
Apps come and go but the ability to use tech to best meet the needs of the current students means teaching teachers how to sift through resources to find the best fit for kids.

“Teachers will ultimately determine the success of the program, so it’s worth investing in them.”  Student success is contingent on the effectiveness of our teachers. How can we continue to find opportunities to invest in their growth?

I loved this idea of creating interactive challenges as a professional learning experience. So often I think teachers are so overwhelmed with how they can use technology in their instruction; I think an activity like this is just the ticket to open teachers to the possibilities of what our devices can do.

# data[].attributes.body
This chapter brought up a great point that while the "WHY" of having technology is so important, the "HOW" is just as important. As it was mentioned, there will not be much growth if the implementation of 1:1 technology is not supported in all facets. So in order for a district to be successful, it is crucial that every element of implementation is considered as well as sustainability.

Coach's Eye is an app for athletic coaches, but I feel like we could also use to find stats on wait time, interactions, DOK, etc. Since tech is about creation to swim deeper into the SAMR model, I've decided to create.

This chapter reminded me of the time and attention to detail all PD deserves. Leading PD is gift we don't get often. We need to value these opportunities and plan to maximize these opportunities.

It is crucial that teachers set classroom expectations and works to develop a classroom that strives to meet those expectations, redirecting students as needed.

"Leadership needs to set expectations around a mobile device initiative and then support those expectations with professional learning to move all the groups forward."

I loved the connection between the westward expansion and technology integration in the classroom. While it can be overwhelming and scary, technology integration can be so beneficial to student learning. I also loved the point that is important "to showcase those settlers who do well in this new environment" in order to encourage the locals.

# data[].attributes.body
I like how she "makes exemplars of every project or product that [she expects] them to do, using the choice of tools that they have." Thinking about how we support teachers, this might be a good way to help teachers develop deeper understanding of how technology can enhance student learning.

Ts differentiate for their Ss, how can we differentiate for Ts when we provide PD?  We want to make sure the Ts are successful, and believe that they can be!

"No matter which group you encounter along your mobile journey, quality professional learning that is dynamic and plays to each group's strengths will help make your road less bumpy." We have to keep pushing through, reflect, and keep the wheels turning!

"The SAMR model does help teachers visualize technology use with their students." Pioneers, Locals, & Settlers specifically could benefit from a technology implementation model/framework. How do we educate staff on the SAMR or Triple E Framework?

Professional Learning via the SAMR Model

# data[].attributes.body
It was very clever to see how the SAMR Model was used with PD. What a powerful way to learn different tools being used/explored by the learners, but still accomplishing why they were there. We should try that!

# data[].attributes.body
I'm really struggling with becoming google certified.... That type of learning- self-paced boring reading is apparently not my cup of tea.
That being said, I love reading things on twitter and enjoy a good zoom based webinar more than the average person.
I truly believe that our virtual learning days gave people a lot of time to grow professionally.
Variety is the spice of life!
Also, I'm currently at my kitchen table in my pajamas getting this work done.

# data[].attributes.body
I think these kinds of opportunities can be very beneficial, and Ts feel more open to ask questions when there is a smaller group. More learning also occurs, because they chose to be there.

# data[].attributes.body
Just reading this, I'm wondering if it's a good time to consider revisiting SAMR with our current staff. I realize this was probably taught several years ago, but with our turnover we have many different teachers that haven't necessarily had that PD.

# data[].attributes.body
This chapter brought to mind the e-learning days we had this year and the resounding positive feedback from teachers about their professional learning/collaboration that occurred.  Such a positive experience for so many people, networking from their couches!
I also think the TPACK model is a GREAT visual and very teacher-friendly, while explaining how each of these types of knowledge works together in the classroom!

"Professional learning and capacity for change should be treated in much the same way [as baby steps] when a teacher is being expected to integrate mobile devices for the first time." This quote stuck out to me because this applies to any kind of change you want to implement. It takes patience and a strong vision on the big picture in order to make an impact.

# data[].attributes.body
I loved this idea! It is less threatening and provides flexibility for teachers. I do agree that there should be some sort of accountability to see what teachers learned and took away from the chats. However, over all I think this is a great approach to understanding different opportunities for adult leaning.

# data[].attributes.body
I have to agree with Nabeti I also struggled with Google certification, I really enjoy more of an interaction hands on type of learning. But the Elearning days is a great way to have connecting happen outside of school.

# data[].attributes.body
I think we need to have a revisit in the beginning of the year.  I almost  think we need this to be part of our new teacher orientation, mentoring program etc. I think this gets lost in the shuffle of teacher life.

"PLCs can be powerful first steps in increasing collaboration and teamwork. However, if used incorrectly, they can be seen as a way to impose extra administrative tasks in an attempt to standardize instruction and stifle innovative ideas."
"Taking one day a week during planning or PLC time to share something learned."
I really like all the different ways to push out information.  I was just talking to a teacher about using socrative for formative assessments in addition to kahoot or google forms.

This chapter rings true for all types of PD, not just tech.

Powerful things happen when teachers talk about their practice. We know collaboration, Sharing, and Showcasing is powerful. We must continue to find opportunities to facilitate these Collaboration, Sharing and Showcasing.

Twitter has been such a powerful tool for our District. This seems to be an area we can continue to grow to share ideas and showcase the great work of one another.

# data[].attributes.body
This chapter reminded me we must get our learners to create and not consume.  They must do and not be done upon.  Love the the "Learning Pyramid" visual and Love the idea of interactive challenges!  These challenges model effective use of tech while teaching specific skills.

"True collaboration should be interactive and truly work toward a goal of "achieving or doing something." - PLC's have been a good starting point, and I foresee amazing things in the future!

This would a great idea for the beginning of the year when we do our team building activity, but incorporating technology into it. Who doesn't like a good challenge, or some fun competition?

Often time for collaboration and sharing information with colleagues is limited in professional developments or meetings. As noted in this chapter, I think it important to think outside the box when sharing information and learning. A few ideas I really liked were the "Appy Hours" and "Mini-Ted Talks." These are great opportunities to highlight important information, or expose colleagues to new technology and information.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Ellen, this chapter relates to ALL professional development. As a whole, I think it is important to think outside the box with how we share information with staff and colleagues. Making an ILC is a great way to expose colleagues to new technology, yet get them engaged in an innovative way. More importantly, I liked the point about how we would never expect at-your-seat engagement for our classroom, so we should not expect the same for our professional development setting either.

Love the idea of taking the first 5-10 minutes of PLC or staff meeting to do a whip around and share something learned.  "It promotes a higher level of sharing and encourages members of the team to seek out new learning techniques or things that interest them.." Powerful way to, if done routinely, shift mindsets!!!

I absolutely agree with Susan that some of these activities could be fun at the beginning of the school year, but I think we also need to be careful of getting too "app-happy" and taking the focus off of INSTRUCTION and how to integrate the two to elevate learning.

This chapter reminded me the importance of adult learning styles.  Presenters must be flexible with how content is delivered and provide opportunities for students of all learning styles to be successful.

Teachers, Parents, Tech Department, District Leaders, Principals, and Students are ALL important stakeholders. Each stakeholder group must understand the vision, be thought about,  and involved in learning opportunities.

Throughout PD sessions participants must be provided the time and a system for reflection. Several modalities for reflection should be provided; typed notes, speech to text, audio recording, video recording, etc. I love the idea of having staff send themselves a future email!

When providing PD, teachers need to be valued, but also need to see the value in what is being offered.

It is so important to make sure all stakeholders have a voice. There definitely has to be some buy-in, and interest for it to be successful.

"Reflecting on learning can be almost as powerful as the learning itself."  You are able to strengthen your own capacity to learn.

I really liked how this chapter explained why PD is important for each stakeholder, especially for the parents. Often times parents may not understand why teachers are pulled out for PD, however I think education on why PD important for teachers, eduction and mobile devices will be greatly beneficial for parents and families.

I loved how this chapter discussed several ways on how to reflect on learning from PD's. I think these are not only beneficial for the adult learning, but for student learning as well. Some ideas I took away from this chapter are Evernote, sketchnoting, and blackmailing.
