Socrates on books... “…seem to talk to you as though they were intelligent, but if you ask them anything about what they say, from a desire to be instructed, they go on telling you the same thing forever. (Phaedrus, section 275d).”

Research Says:Research Says:“Finding the time to experiment with the technologies to make the most of the ICT available. It is one thing to use ICT in the classroom, but using it in a “natural ” and “educational” manner is another. - Karsenti, Benefits and challenges of using laptops in primary and secondary schools: Results of the second investigation at the Eastern Townships School Board, 2012

PD and Ongoing SupportPD and Ongoing Support"There was resistance, and it came from fear...in a middle school you see 100 students over the course of a day, and all of those students are on the Internet at the same time and maybe much more adept at using technology than you are. That's a pretty scary situation for a teacher."...

“One thing that Maine did right was not abandoning teachers with a class full of laptops...

"This isn’t unique to laptops, but if you’re going to ask teachers to do something new, train them, support them, and give them professional development in an ongoing fashion. Have them share information with each other,"

- Kessler, 2013

Research Says:Research Says:“Teachers often learn technology skills and integration strategies in intensive seminars, ineffective means for professional learning because experiences are seldom transferred to instructional practices. Thus, effective technology integration requires teachers to obtain learning experiences within the context of their teaching so they can practice, reflect, and modify their practices. “

- Glazer, Evan, Michael J Hannafin, and Liyan Song, 2005

Harness the PowerHarness the Power“Demand good professional development that not only presents the device's functionality, but displays examples of it in use. This professional development should also be tiered by experience level. Differentiating your professional development will create happy teachers and increase the acceptance of the device or tool being displayed.” - Marcinek, 2013

Research Says: What to do?

“We propose a collaborative apprenticeship model... encouraging peer-teachers to serve as modelers and coaches of strategies and ideas aimed at improving instruction. collaborative apprenticeship is designed to help teachers learn and implement new teaching skills and strategies...” - Glazer, 2006
