Supporting Ed Tech – Check Your Mail!
Today felt somewhat like Christmas at my office as I was busy packaging up different ed tech resources to be sent out to schools via our divisional mail system. I am always on the look out for different ways to build in ed tech PD and tech integration and for the past few weeks I have been working with our Coordinator of Library Services and Coordinator of Educational Services on two projects:
School-Based Book Study
Each of our schools has been gifted a book that discusses a specific aspect of ed tech. These books were chosen based on:
- school goals
- teacher goals
- past PD experience
- staff personality
I wanted to provide options for buildings to continue their existing ed tech work while offering flexibility and on-going support. As such, each book was accompanied by a companion document that offered:
- reasoning on why the book was selected
- ways that it could be used with staff
- supporting resources
Each book was also given a dedicated page in our MVSD ICT Resources notebook (linked in the blog tabs) which features curated online resources to expand learning.
Tablet Stylus for K-1 Students
All K-1 teachers in our division received a package with the following infographic and a tablet stylus for use with their students. The included video features my own daughter who is demoing this concept at age 2.
