Instructional Technology
Instructional Technology is at the core of my learning philosophy. Technology tools can meet the needs of any learner and should be seamless within the learning environment. Below are examples of digital learning tools and materials I've created as an Instructional Technology Coach to ensure proficiency growth and learning mastery.
Instructional Technology Professional Learning
I've included four samples of different professional learning modules used with educators for learning about Instructional Technology integration into curriculum planning and design.
This example uses Microsoft Sway as a professional learning tool. The dynamic nature engages the reader to explore.
Instructional Technology Implementation
Educators not familiar with technology need an outline of how this integration can look for them and their class. This implementation was created to provide teachers with defined entry points into using technology with students. The plan includes suggested integration ideas to inspire innovative lesson planning and forward thinking.
This example includes self-guided learning, interactive feedback tools, collaborative opportunities.
Amplify Student Voice through Technology
A campus expressed concerns about teachers not giving students enough voice and choice in designing their own learning. This slide deck was part of an in-person training where I led a campus faculty through 5 self-explore technology-infused activities designed to encourage student voice opportunities.
This example includes self-guided learning using non-linear, online technology.
Digital Citizenship Self-Guide Tour
We needed a way to provide research-based information about Digital Citizenship to our teachers. We wanted this to be a self-exploration resource in a familiar format, so I created this non-linear Powerpoint and made this available internally to our teachers. I used this resource for in-person trainings as a sustainable reference.
Instructional Technology Session Pathways
Sometimes educators do not know what kind of technology tools will benefit their lesson design. This is a list of professional learning topics to help with finding the right place to start. I used this in conjunction with my SAMR ladder document I created to help explain in simple terms what technology scaffolding looks like.
This example Adobe Creative Cloud Express Web Page for a dynamic training page.
The Power of Digital Citizenship
The Power of Digital Citizenship
I recently participated in a community discussion about Digital Citizenship with an elementary school counselor (the fabulous Mrs. Wright!) and a school parent about the challenges of instilling in students the need for Digital Citizenship.
I've included this to illustrate how I work in a live, virtual setting within the context of my instructional role.
Instructional Websites
Creating websites to house learning concepts and project ideas provides easily accessible platforms for reaching educators and other instructional leaders.
Technology Applications Website
This website I created for use with elementary teachers to better understand how technology is integrated into classroom teaching.
Sci.Stories
This website is for Sci.Stories, the science fair competition created by me to address the need of a technology integrated choice for 21st century learners.
Google Sites
Training Session
I presented at CAST 2019 for how to use Google Sites to create interactive notebooks for learning. This site is how I facilitated the session.
