SD60 Technology Learning Passport

Technology Learning Passport for School District 60
(Inspired by http://educationalparadigms.blogspot.com/2010/06/10-things-all-teachers-should-know-how.html)

Zig Ziglar: ‘You don’t have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great’

Which of the following can you confidently do? Which of the following would you like to learn in the upcoming year? What would you add to the list? The following three levels and their skills can be used for a quick self assessment about your technology skills. The list adapted into a rubric form may also be used to help guide future technology teachers/staff hiring in SD60 schools.

If you are looking for a quick collection of good videos that cover a variety of topics from copy-paste to sharing media here’s a fun resource http://www.teachparentstech.org/

Pedagogy Framework Matrices 

Puentedura’s – SAMR Framework – Are you working towards redefinition?

Moving tasks to the redefinition stage result in a larger effect on learning

Koheler and Mishra’s – Technological, Pedagogical, and Content Knowledge TPACK Framework 

http://www.matt-koehler.com/tpack/tpack-explained/

Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) attempts to identify the nature of knowledge required by teachers for technology integration in their teaching, while addressing the complex, multifaceted and situated nature of teacher knowledge. The TPACK framework extends Shulman’s idea of Pedagogical Content Knowledge.

Level of Technology Integration Matrix
