Overview
Overview
The term "quick victories" is one I've heard Marco Torres use to describe things teachers can readily learn and immediately apply in their classrooms to support student learning. The goal of this presentation and workshop is to share a variety of "quick victories" for secondary as well as elementary teachers in 1:1 classrooms. All the ideas and resources shared in this presentation are FREE to use.
Framework
Framework
This presentation is based on the "Powerful Ingredients for Blended Learning" framework by Karen Montgomery and Wesley Fryer. This is currently available in draft form as an eBook, and is being utilized in Spring 2010 in the "Technology 4 Teachers" course at the University of Central Oklahoma. The PI framework uses the following four stages for technology integration by educators:
- Awareness
- Personal Use
- Educational Replication (Professional Use: Copy an existing learning recipe)
- Educational Invention (Professional Use: Invent a new learning recipe)
Today we will focus on the AWARENESS stage or level.
