EDUCATOR PREPARATION AND DEVELOPMENT
According to the plan the Educator Preparation and Development section mentions that teachers must be able develop and create new learning environments that utilizes technology where learning is a collaborative routine. These teachers must also be able to integrate technology throughout the learning cycle and throughout lesson planning. TEA has several recommendations for all districts to follow. I will discuss only the most significant ideas which includes providing professional development, establish requirements for professionals, establish initiviates for technology, and revise and update requirements annually. The first idea is providing professional development for all teacher in the area of technology. School districts throughout the state should be able to send all teacher to a technology professional development session at least once a school years. As a principal i will make it a requirement to attend a session in the summer months. The next recommendation is to establish requirements for professionals and their development in the area of technology. Teachers must be held accountable for technology as a requirement, not just a formality. The next idea is establigh an initative for technology to asssist teachers in reaching the TARGET level on the StarChart program.
Pre-K Technology Applications TEKS
According to the standards the applications for pre-k technology the foundation set forth by TEA are there to expose these students to computers and software. They are exposed to technology by be able to create writng and drawing using computers. There are other types of activites that can also expose them to audio and video experiences with technology. This will lay the foundtion that technology is fun, easy, and able to help them learn. This foundation will be the future for our student down the years to come.
Long Range Plan for Technoogy
Understanding this area of the plan is the following: Mist teachers indicate that the primary inpact of technology on studetn performance is student engagement, student achievement, or collaboration and teachwork. This information is very help full to principals across of th state. Students of today are just more technology-savvy and learning no longer can be "one-size fits all". It must be tailored to the individual and must create a comunication line for resources, multitude of learning resources and changing the classroom environment forever.
250 word reflections on 2 technology assessments
My strengths when discussing educational technology has to come from the love for technology. Strengths include always wanted to up to date with the latest technology available to my teachers and myself. Technology is a vital part of the learning cycle now because students of today are so technology sound that a teacher must be able to keep everyone engaged throughout the complete lesson. If it's either showing a short video or a powerpoint presentations to get the lesson across.
The first assessment I took was the Technology Skills Assessment by our TEA. The assessment had many questions on what I am able to currently do with technology. I am able to complete about 70% of the assessments on that survey in the classroom. I have learned that students do very well with technology. Research on the internet through several Region I websites has become a huge part of my lesson plans and instructions the last couple of years.
The next assessment was "The Teacher" survey which determine your professional goals in the areas of technology. This survey is something used by a prinicpal in order to gain information from all teacher to understand how to improve technology throughout the campus or district. The survey is very long and I believe on of it's weaknesses is the length of it. Teachers don't want to complete this types of surveys during the school when they must worry about grades, attendance, call logs, lesson plans, and other duties needed to complete throughout the school year. I believe the strength of this survey is they way the questinos are asked. This survey would be great to use in the summer time for a training to improve technology on your campus.
