Technology Infusion for Principals
Today I presented a workshop on “Technology Infusion” for principals at Twin Hickory Elementary similar to the one I talked about on this post. I showed a couple of new YouTube videos produced by the Pearson Foundation that explained the importance of technology infusion in today’s classroom from both the administrators’ viewpoint and the students’ viewpoint. I also showed some websites of teachers who are infusing technology in their classrooms in amazing ways. Mr. Coley, a fifth grade teacher, has his students creating blogs and podcasts, and he creates flashcards for them to download and play on their ipods. You can see it all on his website. Mrs. Yollis, a third grade teacher, is the elementary winner for the EduBlog Awards 2009. Her site has incredible ideas for student-created technology projects such as tutorial videos and more. Check it out by clicking here. If you’d like to try some of their ideas, let me know and I’d be happy to help.
