Recently, Jennifer hosted a very successful job embedded PD session for teachers at her school while Paul and I will be doing the same at Forest Run in late January early February. Teachers will be asked to think of specific "at-risk" students they feel would benefit from the use of technology when planning their teaching/learning task.
In the spring, each school will have a celebratory party... where teachers involved with the PD sessions can showcase the technology they have used with students.
Beginning in January, I am hoping to begin informal "Tech Talk" teacher sessions twice monthly. During these sessions, teachers will be encouraged to share questions, concerns, successes and challenges with using tech tools with their students. Hopefully teachers will bring artifacts and or work samples to showcase how various programs an applications can be used as a way of differentiating instruction. This forum should allow us to develop an in-house PLN and build our collective expertise and experience.
I'd like to consider inviting students to some of these sessions to discuss some of their experiences and insights with technology in school.
