HOW DO YOU APPROACH
INTEGRATING TECHNOLOGY?
18
Integrating Technology
How do you include technology in your practice?
▪ Find a tool and figure out how to use it with your students/staff
▪ Think about what you already do with your students/staff and then how technology could deepen or expand on the lesson (POST)
▪ Think of a challenging task and how technology might help
19
POST Method▪ P is People. Know the capabilities of your audience.
Know what scaffolding they’ll need.
▪ O is objectives. Pick one. Decide on your objective
before you decide on a technology. Then figure out how
you will measure it.
▪ S is Strategy. Figure out what will be different after
you're done. Imagine you succeed. How will things be
different afterwards? Imagine the endpoint and you'll
know where to begin.
▪ T is Technology. A community. A wiki. A blog or a
hundred blogs. Once you know your people, objectives,
and strategy, then you can decide with confidence.
