Yesterday, a little over 40 educators in Saskatoon Public Schools got together to share what they had been learning about technology. Today, a group of us are getting together to reflect on the day and future steps. Our inquiry will revolve around what teachers need in order to be supported in using technology to grow student learning and literacy.
Who will you hear from?
- Arlene Fedorchuk, EAL/ESL teacher
- Wendy James, Educational Technologist,who writes this blog
- Lois Keller, Learning Leader, Lead Literacy Teacher
- Sandra Mancusi, Spanish/EAL teacher
- Scott St. Pierre, Secondary Instructional Technology Leader (see his site)
- Jay Salikin, Educational Technology Analyst
- Shannon Welch, Teacher Librarian
Throughout the course of the day, we will each be publishing materials on-line that will include our reflections about our learning in during our PD yesterday, and our thoughts about the supports need to make our technology use in secondary classrooms meaningful. I will keep modifying this post so it is an index of all our posting.
