CHANCELLOR ELEMENTARY
Where do we begin our technology integration Journey?
AT THE END OF TODAY I HOPE YOU WILL:
- Understand why each of you needs to take a lead in beginning the journey of strategic technology integration.
- Organize Evernote Notebooks that will help you become more efficient with recording personal/professional/student information.
- Go beyond just clicking the Chrome by Personalizing your Experience
- Improve your understanding of the different Blended Learning Models.
- Describe the Rees Blended/Flipped Learning Model Look Like.
- Begin thinking how you can use the SAMR model to scaffold the introduction of digital tools and resources to your team and staff.
- What does the Rees Blended Learning Model/Flipped Learning look like.
- Take away ideas for developing a multi-year acquisition plan for purchasing technology and designing campus based technology PD.
- Understand the benefits of Creating a Personal Learning Network on Twitter and/or Class Twitter Account.
- Begin to utilize the "GAFE" Google Apps for Education resources that are available to all Alief staff.
- Consider using some of the Apps we have found to be very useful for campus instructional leadership teams and classroom teachers.

Monitor followers - you have the ability to block followers or have people make a request to follow you.
INDIVIDUAL TEACHER/ADMINISTRATOR ACCOUNT:
A professional account keeps you connected to current instructional ideas. Teachers can share strategies/activities they think might be helpful for others to see. You can follow other educators that you respect and can learn from. Their tweets come directly to you. Tweet an article, tweet a picture of students using technology, tweet a thought about education.
