Characteristics of Technology Best Practices
The following technology characteristics are designed to help
campus leaders identify truly innovative and consistently high-level
technology classroom practices:
- The teacher uses technology in unique and creative ways, invents
new ways to use existing technologies to meet classroom objectives,
and actively seeks out technology solutions when evidence exists
that specific technologies are likely to improve student learning.
- The teacher is skilled in engaging students in technology-enriched
learning activities that are authentic, multidisciplinary, and
directly related to academic standards.
- The teacher consistently weaves technology into many learning
situations, and most learning activities are highly interactive
and responsive to student needs.
- The teacher acts as facilitator of learning, allowing students
to construct their own meaning from the learning activities.
