1. A New Approach to Technology Professional Development
Mimio in the Classroom
A New Approach to Technology Professional Development
E.G.King MEDT

2. Project Overview Background Information Instructional Problem
Increasing amount of technology in the school, but technology professional development model is antiquated and inefficient
Instructional Problem
Train teachers how to use and incorporate the MimioTeach into regular lessons
Proposed Solution
A more efficient PD model based on current research
E.G.King MEDT

3. Project Analysis Statement of Need: Standard:
Teachers need more robust, individualized professional development to keep pace with increasing amount of technology
Standard:
NETS-T 5a,d
Analysis of Data (Technology survey for teachers)
88% agreed with the statement “I need more training with technology”
71% indicated a desire for a PD delivery model different from current model (Face to Face, formal)
Contextual Factors Contributing to Need
Developing new technology integration specialist position
Development increasingly finding grant money for new technology
E.G.King MEDT

4. Instructional Analysis
Audience Overview
Teachers of oral D/HH students, 100% have masters degrees or above, varying length of teaching career, varying technological skills
Target Cognitive, Affective, and Motor Skills
KSA for the MimioTeach
KSA for general technology
KSA for integrating technology as it pertains to D/HH students
Perquisite Skills
Basic computer skills
Instructional Time Requirements
Approx. 3-5 hours, not including initial trial and error or individual assistance/curriculum integration, spread over several weeks
E.G.King MEDT

5. Diversity Analysis Potential Accessibility, Cultural, Language Issues
Group is fairly homogeneous, although motivational factors may vary, and attitudes towards technology do vary
Appropriate Instructional Resources
Variety of incentives to match different motivations
Different delivery models depending on technology attitudes
Appropriate Instructional Strategies
Use different instructional techniques based on learning style/technology attitude
E.G.King MEDT

6. Design of Instructional Materials
Instructional Goals/Major Course Objectives
Equipment, Software, Lesson Design
Behavioral Objectives
Instructional Units, Lessons, and Learning Activities
Assessment Specifications
Self Assessment via online survey
Instructor observation during learning activities
E.G.King MEDT

7. Behavioral Objectives
When given the MimioTeach, the teacher will be able to connect, start, and calibrate the equipment 90% of the time.
Using the Mimio software, the teacher will locate and demonstrate the different functions in the menu, toolbar, and gallery 90% of the time.
Using the Mimio software and given a list of required items, the teacher will create a simple Mimio Notebook file with all the required items 90% of the time.
When the equipment is available, the teacher will use the Mimio for student instruction for (pick amount of times/observe)
Something they can do that will demonstrate (objective 2), objective 3 is stronger in terms of creating a product. Specify the functions?

15. Misc Notes
Not sure?
Use staggered approach: Materials before training session
Have option for in-class tutorial at any point during the unit
Use incentives
