Module 1 Questionnaire<\/h1>\n<\/header>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n

1. What policies govern your uses of ICT in your school setting?<\/p>\n

Students must have their parents sign an internet agreement form at the begining of the year.\u00a0 Without this form, staff are not to let students use the internet.\u00a0 Other than that, there is little quidance from the school level.\u00a0 Individual teachers govern what their students can and can’t do.<\/p>\n

2. What digital technological resources do you have available for teaching and learning in your school setting?<\/p>\n

All classrooms except the library have been outfitted with Smartboards.\u00a0 We have a computer lab with 30 computers.\u00a0 There are also about 5 or 6 iPads floating amongst classroom teachers.\u00a0 We do have some district licenses such as Learn 360 that provide access to streaming video.\u00a0 The library currently has a laptop and\u00a0 a projector.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3. Please provide an example of an exemplary use of digital technologies for teaching and learning that you have observed or experienced personally.<\/p>\n

I have to say that I can’t think of an example that I have seen that I would consider exemplary.\u00a0 I find that sometimes, technology can increase engagement or can support a point but I can’t think of a time when technology was so valuable to a lesson that the lesson hinged on the great technology and was memorable because of the technology.<\/p>\n

4. Please provide an example of a problematic use of digital technologies for teaching and learning that you have observed or experienced personally.<\/p>\n

I think that for me the most problematic use of technology (provided that it is working) is when technology is added just for the sake of adding technology.\u00a0 I can’t count the\u00a0powerpoints that I have seen that are so text laden that you can’t read it all before it\u00a0moves on to the next slide.\u00a0\u00a0If used to highlight\u00a0certain points, it is more effective.\u00a0 Or,\u00a0why do I need to watch an embedded video that states the\u00a0same thing the\u00a0person presenting just stated.\u00a0 Enhancing a point is one thing, beating it to death is quite another.<\/p>\n

5. Please provide a brief history of how you learned to use digital technologies (personally and professionally).<\/p>\n

Really, I have learned what I know by trial and error.\u00a0 I hear of something that sounds interesting and I take a litte time to try it out.\u00a0 However, I rarely become competent enough to continue on.\u00a0 I have been to the odd professional development session that teaches me something new but again, I rarely persevere and bring it into my personal or professional life for the long term.<\/p>\n

6. How would you rate your digital technological proficiency? 0 = low level of proficiency -> 10 = high level of proficiency? Why did you give yourself this rating?<\/p>\n

I think that I am about a 2 or 3.\u00a0 I can follow directions if they are laid out for me in a step by step fashion but and not one to just pick up an iPad and immediately know how it works.\u00a0 The biggest block for me is that it takes time to get good at different forms of technology and I don’t invest the time into each one to be truly proficient.<\/p>\n

7. What do you hope to accomplish in this course?<\/p>\n

I hope to have had some time to explore different technologies in a guided fashion so that I am able to become decent at some things that I could see myself implementing in September.\u00a0 I look forward to hearing what other teacher librarians are finding usefull in their roles, especially in elementary school situations.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
