| Overview: | |||||||||
| Technology, and how it fits into the educational landscape, has been an increasing priority for leaders for years as technology has become increasingly affordable, available and embedded in school and beyond. But in spite of this, the extent to which technology would come to play a role in learning and teaching, and the steps that would be needed to ensure it could be used by teachers and students meaningfully and sustainably came as a shock to many of us when our schools were forced to close due to the COVID-19 crisis. In light of this, now more than ever, technology is fighting for space at the top of the school development priority list and we are presented with an opportunity to make strategic, pedagogically-driven decisions about how we embed and use technology in our educational contexts so that we can move forwards and plan for sustainable and purposeful technology integration for the long term. Katierose Deos and Sarah Gilmore have worked with leaders and educators around the world and through this work have identified six interconnected elements that must be considered when working to integrate technology at the classroom, school, district, and even national level:

| Audience and resources: | |||||||||
| Instructional Coaches, technology coaches and specialists, teacher leaders, curriculum coordinators, administrators and leaders from the school to national levels at all levels of education from Kindergarten to Higher Education and Further Education. We also welcome teachers from Elementary through to Higher Education of all subject specialisms who are currently teaching with technology, or who wish to prepare to teach effectively with technology (in the classroom and remotely) and who have an interest in deepening their knowledge and understanding about technology integration at the school or broader educational level. The cost of registration includes a digital copy of ‘Integrating Technology: A School-Wide Framework to Enhance Learning', which is used as a key resource during both live sessions and independent activities. During this course we will use a range of classroom technology tools and platforms to model and simulate learning with technology including, but not limited to:
As such, the course begins one week before the first live video session to allow participants to engage with introductory materials and asynchronous tasks before going deeper with the course instructors and fellow participants. Participants will receive instructions to join the course digital classroom following completion of registration and should please do so by the course start date to allow sufficient time to engage meaningfully with these resources. |
