I think the best thing I can do is to mention when technology works well for me. I can tell them about student engagement and offer to help them set up the technology in their classroom. I could also suggest a professional development day in which the technology that I have learned and become proficient at can be taught to my colleagues.
How can you serve as a teacher leader for technology integration in your professional setting?
Mainly I think it's about me having confidence and excitement in what I do. I've seen other teachers in our school who are simply good at what they do with technology. Because they have experienced so much success with their technology, the other teachers are like moths to a light. They get curious and want to see what's going on. I would need to be the same way.
What tools that you learned about in this class might you use to facilitate this?
I enjoyed learning about all of the easy and free sites that are available for me to create my own website. I think the sky is the limit now that I've seen those. I love the idea of making webquests on there and possibly a class site that others may want to mimic. I also think the Prezi presenter is something that others may find fascinating as well. This is a tool that is new to students, but within reach for teachers. With that combination, it's a new and exciting way to still convey information while keeping learning the focus.
