I believe that not only will administrators need rubrics for evaluating teachers, but teachers will need rubrics for ‘how to’….and I really liked the concept of teaching new things in new ways, which is going to require much new learning for ‘old’ teachers!

Students now have been raised with constantly changing and upgrading technology. They use is daily: cell phones, ipods, computers, video games… we should embrace that knowledge base and use it to their learning advantage.

Many teachers use technology to teach old things in a new way. It is a place to start, but now it is time to move beyond that. I agree that administrators should have some kind of evaluation form with a rubric that indicates how technolgy is being used in the classroom and if the instructor is making an effort to introduce new curriculum in new ways, or at least moving in that direction.

Facilitators are using computers more than before for everything from instruction to administrative tasks, to communicate with parents and colleagues, or just to get the message across.
Teachers believe that computers improve performance on standardized tests, yet educators do not feel that they have enough computers or training to make the most of the technology in their classrooms.
In order to evaluate task or project or any other assignment teachers would need
1. More training for themselves;
2. More computer access for their students
3. High-quality technology that’s appropriate for their classrooms.
Technology which is used in the classroom is basically like a teacher who teaches, it is a work in progress. Technology facilitates collaboration. As schools begin the switch of integrating the new technology into the teaching process, they will need to dedicate training and well built plan for ongoing professional development.

We as teachers need to see the examples to help us understand there might be something out there that could help us. BUT the help needs to be MEANINGFUL. I don’t want to do it just because my students have laptops. I’m still looking for a meaningful way to incorporate math. I am able to see old things taught in a new way but have not really seen a way to teach math in a new way. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Do you mean ICT as in Instructional Consultation Team? I found that a very worthwhile endeavor. Funding has been cut for our program so it no longer happening in the form it was meant.
