How’d You Do that?
Staying current with ideas for technology as
a learning tool for your classroom.
You do not have to be an expert but you do
need to be undaunted.

Undaunted
My whole life I have worked hard to stay current.
I was teaching kindergarten at the time.

Long lines for gas and we just had to get around.

It’s a short trip from riding the waves of change
to being torn apart by the waves of defeat.

Are you worried about Technology and
Learning?
Relax
The changes I suggest do not involve your expertise with technology
or even adding another job to your already packed curriculum.
The change is attitudinal not technological.

Don’t be threatened when students
know more than you.
•Acknowledging that your students know more than you gives them an
increasingly important role that motivates and encourages student
responsibility.
•Talk to them about the responsibilities of their new role.

Whose World are We Preparing our
students for?
•Teachers see students differently
•Teachers are no longer the expert
with all the skills and information.
•See students as partners in the learning
process with a different but equal skill.

Please empower your kids
•Teach them Internet Safety.
•Supervise them .
•Teach them what to do when they come across
inappropriate material.
•Involve them in web safety rules and your Acceptable Use
Policy, AUP.
•Banning sites is NOT helpful and could be very harmful.
•Why? (Just for starters…..many other reasons why. What
are they?)

Student’s Role: An important
discussion before you begin.
•Student’s have a new role that requires their responsibility.
• Teachers are partnering with their students.
•Must talk to them about the responsibility of their role.
•The skills of both the teachers and the students require mutual respect.
•Set the bar high, tell them expectations, create rubrics—they’ll love it!
•Students will focus on gathering information and presenting for an audience
including their peers.
•Brainstorm with students acceptable behavior in this new model. What does
it look like?
Dr. Carole Redline caroleredline@verizon.net 443 827 5490
The bottom line
Students and Teachers must:
•Have Mutual Respect for each other’s skills
•Behave ethically
•Think critically
•Set goals
•Have good judgment
•Make good decisions
