18. Ohio SchoolNet TIPs Workshop What’s wrong with after-school workshops? Inadequate training facilities Artificial context Competing responsibilities Time of day Diverse needs of learners Practical logistics (number of teachers X hours of staff development / reasonable group size =??)

20. Ohio SchoolNet TIPs Workshop Shadowing Description: Technology leaders host teacher- learners in their classrooms. Benefits: Authentic context (computers AND students) Difficult to articulate skills and concepts become concrete Underscores the importance of new classroom dynamics in successful technology implementation Copyright, 2000 Ellen Maddin, Ed.D., HCESC 20

21. Ohio SchoolNet TIPs Workshop Shadowing Learning Experiences: Establish a student- centered classroom Manage diverse classroom activity Make smooth transitions Introduce new software to students Organize materials and student work Keep track of student progress Redesign the physical layout of a classroom Copyright, 2000 Ellen Maddin, Ed.D., HCESC 21

22. Ohio SchoolNet TIPs Workshop Preparing for Shadowing Decide who will be shadowed One sub for every four teachers Determine duration of visit and create a schedule Make it clear and easy for substitutes Copyright, 2000 Ellen Maddin, Ed.D., HCESC 22

23. Ohio SchoolNet TIPs Workshop One-on-one for One Description: One technology leader works with one teacher-learner for one hour. Benefits: Customized instruction (pace, content coverage, level of challenge are appropriate to learner needs) Reduced performance anxiety for tech leaders One-hour limit=reasonable amount of new material for learners Copyright, 2000 Ellen Maddin, Ed.D., HCESC 23

24. Ohio SchoolNet TIPs Workshop Preparing for One 3 Hold a planning session Develop a schedule Publish the schedule at a staff meeting Arrange for substitutes Make it clear and easy for substitutes Copyright, 2000 Ellen Maddin, Ed.D., HCESC 24

25. Ohio SchoolNet TIPs Workshop Rotating Topics Leader benefits: reduced prep time opportunity to sharpen skills Learner benefits: collegial environment, instruction geared toward skill level Best for in-service/early release days Description: 3 leaders work with 3 small groups in 3 rotating sessions Copyright, 2000 Ellen Maddin, Ed.D., HCESC 25

26. Ohio SchoolNet TIPs Workshop Rotating Topics Options To accommodate 30 teacher-learners: 3 classrooms with 4-6 computers 2 mini labs (10 or more computers)/one classroom Computers on rolling carts--media center + 2 classrooms equipped with 4-5 Copyright, 2000 Ellen Maddin, Ed.D., HCESC 26

31. Ohio SchoolNet TIPs Workshop Student Exchange Description: Students visit other classrooms to teach/coach peers or teachers Benefits: students become leaders the best way to learn something is to teach it to someone else Copyright, 2000 Ellen Maddin, Ed.D., HCESC 31

32. Ohio SchoolNet TIPs Workshop Student Exchange Options Send your student “experts” to another class that needs them. Invite students from another class to join your class as you introduce new computer skills. Switch classes with another teacher. Copyright, 2000 Ellen Maddin, Ed.D., HCESC 32

33. Copyright, 2000 Ellen Maddin, Ed.D., HCESC Ohio SchoolNet TIPs Workshop Research Supports Job-Embedded Learning Teachers who integrate technology: Have access to computers in their classrooms. Are more likely to use learner-centered rather than teacher-centered approaches: projects/group-oriented activities inquiry/discovery-based/problem-solving modes student work is individualized/collaborative 33

34. Copyright, 2000 Ellen Maddin, Ed.D., HCESC Ohio SchoolNet TIPs\Workshop Research Supports Job-Embedded Learning Teachers who integrate technology: Work in schools that provide incentives for professional development: release time stipends/tuition support for summer institutes access to more computers and related resources Pisapia and Schlesinger (1993).
