To help teachers with this task, I have created numerous interactive note cards, worksheets, and graphic organizers. To accomplish this, I meet with the teacher and/or the subject specific Instructional Facilitator to understand what the teachers and students need. We usually meet the first time face to face and then do follow-up with email. === === I research interactive websites and ways for the students to interact with technology. Unfortunately, most teachers think they are “doing” technology correctly because they are using it to deliver content. I have to remind them that it is not what you are doing with technology that is important it is what the students are doing, or creating. === === Irving ISD hosted districts 1:1 districts from across the nation to come together. There were keynote speakers and then breakout sessions. I attended several sessions and come away with some great ideas that I have been unable to implement due to the districts tight access restrictions. We are a unique district, unlike any other in the country; we gave the students laptops to use as a textbook reader and did not require the teachers to do anything else with them. Unfortunately, the climate has changed and now teachers are required to integrate them and the Technology Facilitators have to try to change the climate. To help teachers understand this change, I do a lot of classroom modeling. === Cybersafety, copyright and plagiarism are not being adequately covered in our high school curriculum. We developed and delivered an assembly covering these topics. We showed relevant Youtube videos about what can happen when you apply for college, jobs etc and you have inappropriate things on your social network accounts. Students were surprised with those findings.
