Implications+for+Our+Work

=What have we learned about technology-related professional development= = =
 * Focus of Technology Related Professional Development **
 * Move from solely “skill” orientation
 * Teach “technology skills” in context focused on understanding
 * Support for this in Apple Classroom of Tomorrow (ACOT) Research

=**Research Support for Moving from a “Skills” Orientation **=
 * Fisher, C. & Dwyer, K. Y. (1996)
 * 10 year review of ACOT (Apple Classroom of Tomorrow)
 * //Nature of Teacher Change//
 * Speed and direction of ACOT teachers’ evolution was closely tied to changes in their beliefs about learning, teacher-student roles, and instructional practice.
 * //Role of Technology Skill//
 * technology skill IS IMPORTANT
 * . . . but **not** sufficient for “successful” technology integration
 * danger of skill orientation - can lead to automating industrial era goals of education, I.e. helping learners be more efficient at remembering and recalling information.
 * //Nature of Complex Change//
 * occurs only if there is corresponding change in teachers’ beliefs and values about their practice.

=**Attributes of Effective Technology-Related Professional Development that Results in Behavioral Change **=
 * Give it time
 * Change in beliefs
 * Technology Skills
 * Build connections between teaching, learning and technology skills.
