HOW HAS TECHNOLOGY
IMPACTED TEACHER
RESPONSIBILITY
Educational
technology offers
increased learning
opportunities and
increased levels of
responsibility. Specific
teacher
responsibilities with
concrete strategies
are addressed taking

consideration.
DESCRIPTION
Appropriate

Monitoring

their students
EDTECH LEARNING OPPORTUNIT IES INTO CLASSROOM =
INCREASED LEVEL TEACHER RESPONSIBIL IT Y FOR
EFFIC IENT USE
Four core areas of teacher responsibility
1. How do I learn to use educational technology efficiently?
2. How can educational technology impact my instructional
methodology?
3. How can I supervise a classroom of students to ensure
appropriate use of educational technology?
4. How can I diversify / personalize the use of educational
technology to ensure each student gains from it’s use ?
CRITICAL QUESTIONS
What questions do I need to ask in order to ensure I am using educational technology efficiently? (Student participation; student performance; student attitudes; etc)
What are my considerations when selecting ET tools? (What tools are available? Which tools will be best for my purpose / students? Etc)
Do I have easy access and information about best tools?
What do I need to know that I don’t know about edtech to ensure efficiency?
HOW DO I LEARN TO USE EDUCATIONAL
TECHNOLOGY EFFICIENTLY?
What does my instructional
methodology look like?
What pieces of my instruction are good
matches for educational technology?
How do I use these tools as
enhancements to learning instead of
barriers?
HOW CAN EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY
IMPACT MY INSTRUCTIONAL METHODOLOGY?
How do I make sure the students are on task?
How do I structure the lesson/activity so the students understand and can achieve expectations regarding behavior when using educational technology? (What are my expectations regarding student behavior/participation when using technology?)
What are my responsibilities when the technology doesn’t work?
HOW CAN I SUPERVISE A CLASSROOM OF
STUDENTS TO ENSURE APPROPRIATE USE OF
EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY?
HOW CAN I DIVERSIFY / PERSONALIZE THE USE OF
EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY TO ENSURE EACH
STUDENT GAINS FROM IT’S USE?
How can I identify
individual student strengths
and needs academically
and in terms of using
technology?
How do I match student
learning strengths and
needs with specific
technology tools?
First-- Identify instructional goals/objectives before
looking at technology
HAVE A PLAN
Look closely at individual students: learning styles,
personalities, academic strengths and weaknesses and
interests
Carefully plan your objective/purpose of using technology in
the classroom ~ is it to stimulate interest; expand curriculum
content; provide alternative instruction, etc?
Match the appropriate technology with your academic
objectives
