Welcome New Vanguard Teachers
What Good Looks Like
WELCOME!!!
Welcome to your new position as the Vanguard Teacher. I look forward to working with all of you and will "see" you on Sept. 5th at 10:30AM PT/1:30 EST. Until then, I put together some information that will be helpful to read and view before our first meeting.
You are currently experiencing the goodness of a Smore :) Not the yummy dessert, but an online flyer format that is easy to use to get a lot of information into one place!
SAMR
SAMR is the Bloom's Taxonomy of integrating technology. We want teachers to use the iPad to redefine lessons. This SAMR SMORE below will give many examples of the what, how and why of SAMR.
Apple Teacher
We are in our 3rd year of Apple Teacher. Apple Teacher teaches teachers how to use the Apple apps educationally. Part of the Vanguard's responsibility is to be a cheerleader in order to have all of the teachers complete all Apple Badges so they can use the apps appropriately and educationally.. A certificate will be sent from Apple as well as from NLCI. See the below SMORE for directions which we will review on our first call.
iChallenges
During our PD time, I often challenge you and the teachers to send evidence of how technology is redefining lessons using communication, collaboration, creativity and critical thinking. The below SMORE is a compilation of our "tool-tutorials" 2018-2019. Many of these example in the below SMORE will help you work with your teachers to be proficient in the Apple apps as well as SAMR.
