Hardware? Software?\u00a0 No…Let’s Connect With HUMANware<\/strong><\/p>\n Humanware refers to people.\u00a0 We have been investing in hardware, software and webware, but what about the people?\u00a0 We need to invest in the people in order to improve instruction with technology.\u00a0 We need to connect humanware to school goals, student goals, etc?\u00a0 When our kids leave the school system there is a whole world out there.\u00a0 They may not stay in their community…we have no idea where they will be and what they will be doing.\u00a0 Fred’s framework asks how we connect IRTRs with the humanware: teaching, coaching, training, and learning.<\/p>\n Where does humanware fit in?\u00a0 Alignment for success:\u00a0 are you aware of your technology master plan in your district? professional development; curriculum blue prints; if teachers are only going to teach the SOLs, then we are still behind.\u00a0 The last piece is school improvement so you should be aware of the school improvement plan.\u00a0 How do we get connected with those people?<\/p>\n Data Wise from Harvard University includes 8 steps that begins with organizing for collaborative work and ends with acting and assessing.\u00a0\u00a0 He has a matrix of tools that will help the team be effective.\u00a0 He aligned the school improvement process with technology tools.\u00a0 The ITRTs need to understand the school data such as the report card.<\/p>\n Training:\u00a0 Rich Allen, Train Smart, 2001\u00a0 Five Pillars of Training:\u00a0 Engage, Frame, Explore, Debrief, Reflect Quotes Confucious: I hear and I forget, I see and I remember, I do and I understand.<\/p>\n Teaching:\u00a0 connect the goals and objectives, what are we doing and trying to get across Be SMART: Discusses Marzano’s strategies:\u00a0 we don’t see it as much as we should New book: Using Technology With Classroom Instruction the Works<\/p>\n He outlines planning question and instructional strategies.<\/p>\n He suggests applying the Madeleine Hunter model: from purpose to closer Showed the A Vision of K-12 Students Today<\/p>\n Coaching: NSDC says that effective coaching means you are with a person one on one.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 In the coaching model, there is some risk.\u00a0 There are three major levels of risk; are you going to be conservative, moderate or aggressive?<\/p>\n Kimberly Ketterer, “Coach, Nurture or Nudge?”\u00a0 L&L<\/p>\n Coach:\u00a0 there is a paradigm shift from a traditional classroom to one who integrates technology.\u00a0 The adult is now a risk taker who trusts the coach.\u00a0 They are willing to embrace the information and collaborate.<\/p>\n Nurture: The adult is not confident and are still learning skills and applications.\u00a0 But they are willing to try.\u00a0 this adult lacks the confidence and they want to watch you do it.\u00a0 They will say that time is a major problem.\u00a0 They like small achievements.<\/p>\n Nudge: This is the person that is satisfied with the way things are.\u00a0 These people are uncertain and anxious.<\/p>\n Learning:\u00a0 How do ITRTs connect to the learning process to get adults to learn? Marcia Tate: Sit & Get Won’t Grow Dendrites:\u00a0 she talks about adult learning and strategies and activities for how to work with adults.<\/p>\n How do we connect Humanware to Web 2.0 for professional development and learning?\u00a0 He pointed to Here’s what ITRTs need to do: We must provide our children the best possible learning environments to foster critical thinking, innovations and problem solving to better our society.\u00a0 Fred Scott<\/p>\n ITRTs Lead Out Loud: http:\/\/www.leadoutloud.ca<\/a><\/p>\n To get results with technology integration, we need to invest in people…nurture, cultivate and develop them to ensure that tools make a difference in learning.<\/p>\n Remember, FRED: They did a share fair at his school division for the school board so they could understand the ITRT position.<\/p>\n http:\/\/fredwscott.edublogs.com\u00a0<\/a> for downloading the presentation<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Here are my notes from Fred’s excellent keynote.\u00a0 (Now, I’m sitting in his breakout session.)
