HOW DO YOU APPROACH INTEGRATING TECHNOLOGY?

15

Integrating Technology

How do you include technology in your practice?

▪ Find a tool and figure out how to use it with your students/staff

▪ Think about what you already do with your students/staff and then how technology could deepen or expand on the lesson (POST)

▪ Think of a challenging task and how technology might help

16

POST Method▪ P is People. Know the capabilities of your

audience. Know what scaffolding they’ll need.▪ O is objectives. Pick one. Decide on your

objective before you decide on a technology. Then figure out how you will measure it.

▪ S is Strategy. Figure out what will be different after you're done. Imagine you succeed. How will things be different afterwards? Imagine the endpoint and you'll know where to begin.

▪ T is Technology. A community. A wiki. A blog or a hundred blogs. Once you know your people, objectives, and strategy, then you can decide with confidence.The POST Method: A systematic approach to social strategy by Josh Bernoff 17
