First, we must understand the time requirements for staff development. Students expand use, no change in learning. Students' work on computer is accepted and encouraged. Developing Tech Appropriation Learning begins to change, teachers use new methods of preparing and presenting information. Classroom arrangement is different from traditional layout.
Students create their own learning and use their creativity to research and explain information.
Short workshops once or twice a year or a single required educational-technology course will not significantly advance teachers' integration of technology. Planners must adapt the complexity of the training to teacher needs. Teachers need technology designed to help them progress to the next level of integration. Educators at the Entry and Adoption stages need training and lots of support to help them feel comfortable using technology. The training should combine how-to instruction with easy sample classroom projects for integrating technology in their curricula.
