Highlights and Lessons Learned 2009-2010
Resources for this focus area came from the distributed professional learning grant. Multiple technology integration sessions were offered that focused on learning how to use tools as well as supporting program of studies implementation and student learning through use of technology resources. Learning opportunities were developed based on the research-based TPACK model, an approach to effective technology integration that works with any type of instructional planning. It is a learner-centered, outcomes-based planning approach in which technology supports learners meeting the outcomes in ways that make the most sense. Smart board sessions continued to “Sell out” with a continued focus on embedding this tool in a pedagogical approach in support of student learning in specific subject areas. Webinars as a distributed learning method have become increasingly popular to the point where we have had to train two additional teacher-contractors as moderators as well as increase the capacity of our in-house staff to support this new form of distributed professional learning. Another way we have worked to create capacity within our region is via the creation of both SMART and Promethean PD resource packaged for leaders who train others. To help implement these resources, various sessions were held across the region, and archived webinar sessions have been posted on the ERLC wiki http://erlc.wikispaces.com/SMART+Board+Implementation+PD+Resource . The ERLC wiki was designed to support ongoing professional learning by providing webinar archives with time-coded tables of contents, conversation guides, presenter’s slides and related resources for use by PLCs, instructional coaches and individuals in a flexible format that allows learning to continue anytime, anyplace at any pace.

Please refer to the workshop register for the multitude of sessions offered.
