Who am I?

kendalcb20 — 2024-07-10 03:20:52 UTC

I have a little over 3 years of teaching experience specifically in elementary school. I began teaching right at the beginning of COVID so I like to think that I am pretty well versed on different technologies and platforms that can be used in both traditional and virtual teaching settings. I am passionate about learning and truly believe that learning is a lifelong process.

A school's technology committee exists to direct and supervise the successful incorporation of technology into the learning environment. This committee is in charge of creating and putting into practice technology strategies that support the objectives of the school, making sure that resources and technologies are used to improve administrative, instructional, and learning processes. The technology committee also ensures that the school's technological infrastructure is current, safe, and easily accessible in addition to evaluating and recommending new technologies and offering staff professional development and support.

Technology integration models provide a structure for integrating technology into daily instruction and enhancing the learning experience. With the use of these models, educators have a better understanding of how to properly integrate technology into their lessons and improve student learning outcomes.

Technology Integration Models

kendalcb20 — 2024-08-03 23:44:18 UTC

-The TPACK Framework: the purpose of this framework is to help educators become proficient in the areas of technology, pedagogy, & content knowledge

-The SAMR Model: helps educators consider how technology is being used in the classroom and if it is being used effectively

-Technology Integration Mix: helps educators evaluate technology in the classroom

-The ISTE Standards: provides structure for considering technology

Purpose

Technology standards provide a concise and uniform framework for incorporating digital tools into the learning experience. These guidelines provide educators with the tools they need in order to help students succeed in a setting that heavily relies on technology. These standards support educators in creating curricula and stimulate critical thinking in a way that may be considered "non-traditional". Additionally, standards ensure that technology is being used properly and ethically in the learning environment.

Identify all individuals involved in the change process
Make sure stakeholders understand the change
Determine perceptions of the innovation
Identify concerns

Purpose

kendalcb20 — 2024-08-04 00:01:31 UTC

Adopting a new product or procedure is known as innovation adoption. When thinking about innovation adoption, it is important to understand that every innovation is different. Furthermore, one must remember that the rate at which individuals adapt to innovation will vary. While change is good, it is important to understand that innovation adoption happens overtime and not all at once.
