Sometimes I think it is helpful to share information about how Instructional Technology Support works, so you know how I can best help you in your classroom.
I am available to help you plan your curriculum. My specialty is helping you to look at your curriculum and find ways technology can make teaching and learning more efficient and fun. Are you planning new Common Core aligned units? Let me know if I can help with that! Planning for the use of technology in your curriculum is much easier when you are developing your curriculum maps.
It is a good idea to invite me to participate in your grade level or department meetings. Just listening to your concerns can spark ideas that I can share for ways to use technology to support what you are doing as a grade level or department.
Are you looking for a new way to present something, or are you having a hard time getting your students to understand a concept? Invite me to meet with you so we can brainstorm ways to tackle issues like this. We can use technology to help students visualize many concepts to foster deeper understanding.
Perhaps you would like to develop a WebQuest for your students. Let's develop one together! I also assist teachers in creating ActivInspire flipcharts, and locate interactive online resources and technology materials to support your lesson and unit plans.
You might be thinking about creating a classroom website to improve home-school communication. We can discuss what tool would be best for you to use and how to get started. Many teachers in our region use ToolboxPro, Wikispaces, or Weebly to post information online for parents and community members to access.
Administrators might consider contacting me to present useful technology tools at staff meetings, or to develop customized staff development training for teachers in your school or in the district.
There are so many ways that Instructional Technology Support can benefit your district. Please contact me if you have questions. :-)
