Teaching and Instructional Technologies

 

Our vision is to:

• improve student learning through the use of all instructional technologies
• improve pedagogical automaticity by becoming familiar with the ways that instructional technologies support learning
• communicate with each other about uses of instructional technologies

 

Technology defined: an innovation designed to bring about a desired change

 

With this definition in mind, we have lots of instructional technologies already don't we?

~ What desired change were each of these intended for?

~ What desired changes have come about in our classrooms as a result of having these "technologies" available to our teachers?

~ What desired changes are still to be realized and how do we get there?
