Empowerment Through Technology Steven Parker

We need to live in both worlds… “…the classroom and the Web. The brave new world of net delivered and assisted training is exciting and real. [However], we strongly believe that it is not a replacement for classroom instruction but a critical extension of learning services." -- Elliott Masie, President of The MASIE Center, an international think tank focusing on learning and technology

PAST IT, WEB Developers and Instructional Designers were responsible for creating and managing online delivery resources PRESENT teachers with Basic to Intermediate skills are able to gain empowerment through the use of tools ie: teacherSmart to design and develop their own resources FUTURE Moving into era where teachers are leading the way with teaching innovation to engage and utilise latest technologies through networks and collaboration

Empowerment Process EngagementCollaboration teacherSmart Workshops Basic to Intermediate Skilled Teachers Networks Peer to Peer Professional Development Innovative to Advanced Skilled Teachers

CURRENT CHALLENGES The challenges we face as Teachers can be daunting: Fast pace of change in technology Knowledge and Understanding Time Access

TECHNOLOGY AND CHANGE Chalk and Blackboard Whiteboard Overhead Projector Folders and Note Books Text Books Photocopier Powerpoint Latest Technologies: Wikis, Blogs, Podcasting The evolution in teaching and learning practices, has significantly impacting our working and learning life.

Teacher Skill Levels: Basic – Not familiar using a computer. Intermediate – Familiar with Word, Outlook ing and the Internet. Advanced – Comfortable with utilizing technology, for work and creative use. Innovative ‘Mavericks’ – A creative minority experimenting and utilizing new technologies at advanced level.

TEACHER PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT TLRU engages the basic to intermediate skilled teacher and facilitates teacher Professional Development through: Workplace training TLRU workshops Online courses

TLRU Workplace Training Embracing New Technologies - VIDEO TLRU trainers consult and facilitate the teacher on user friendly, accessible and innovative technologies for instructional design and application.**.**

TLRU MORNING WORKSHOPS Basic - Intermediate Teachers are invited to attend. Morning workshops on a variety of key technologies. Word Outlook- Digital camera Hot potatoes Powerpoint

TLRU ONLINE COURSES e.g. ‘Induction’ ****Teachers can empower themselves with critical Institute information by working online at their own pace

TEACHERS MANAGING TECHNOLOGY Making The Leap “Train a teacher to manage technology and they will be empowered” We need to empower teachers to: Embrace new technology with ease Cope with future changes in technology Develop and deliver flexibly with new and exciting resources

TeacherSmart Training is a 1-3 day Professional Development programme for teachers of all skills levels to learn new technologies for teaching practices. TeacherSmart Desktop is tool that simplifies the preparation of print, online and CD lessons. TeacherSmart enables the teacher to easily develop and deliver quality instructional programs to promote learning and the engagement of students.

SKILL BUILDING We provide resources and technical support guiding teachers through a step-by-step process that challenges with hands on tasks: Working as a team Sourcing existing resources Self directing Managing workflow

TLRU BEGINNER INTERMEDIATE ADVANCED Determine skill levels Brainstorm activity ideas as a group Discuss use of technologies Allocate individuals activities to achieve aims. TEACHERS Group Task eg. Create resource Empowerment Through Collaborative Group Based Learning

To begin Set Boundaries on Technology

Source existing resources, why reinvent?

BEGINNER INTERMEDIATE ADVANCED TLRU TEACHERS Hot potatoes quizzes Blogger Podcasting Creative commons Using Word Develop activities – Then Show and Tell

TeacherSmart - A tool to simplify DesktopSmartConvert

Teachers are empowered and often walk away with: The Awareness, confidence in their own abilities, and the skills and knowledge to source utilize and develop eLearning resources. The impetus to become active participants of an online network of teachers to exchange ideas and information (peer to peer).

There is an explosion in Networking Technologies – Ride The Wave ‘Collaborate with your peers on lesson planning and materials development, as well as enrich your own professional and personal growth. As you build your collection of lessons, materials and resources for your own classes, you can share them with other teachers, and everyone can get more work done with less effort.’

NETWORKING TECHNOLOGIES Web-based applications that enable links to be made between teachers and content for networking, research, teaching and learning. Examples Blogs & online journals – BloggerBlogger Wikis - WikispacesWikispaces Photo publish & sharing - FlickrFlickr Media hosting & publishing - OurMedia,OurMedia Web-based web feed readers - BloglinesBloglines Social networking sites - Yahoo 360, MySpaceYahoo 360MySpace More info:

– Free! Free phonecalls! Share files Conference Chat

– Learning Management System Video conferencing

Sharing Capabilities ideas and project work Sharing resources, workspaces, internet connection Sharing knowledge and information, Promotes team environments and fosters commitment to work toward same goals for the benefit of all The Benefits of Networking

Embrace The Maverick Ethic! If the innovation is useful it will flourish, otherwise it will not be adopted Despite the pace of change, we must examine and test each new technology. We must develop and disseminate technologies that significantly increase quality of learning and ‘ROI’ of teacher time.

SOLUTION Organisations like the TLRU engage teachers with teacherSmart Professional Development to engage, develop and empower teachers with network learning skills to move with the times.

Conclusion “Show one technology to a teacher; you have satisfied them for today. Guide the teacher to manage technology and to network with peers; then they will be empowered for the future.”
