"Thanks to you and your invention, your pupils will be widely read without benefit of a teacher's instruction; in consequence, they'll entertain the delusion that they have wide knowledge; while they are, in fact, for the most part incapable of real judgment."

- Plato, Phaedrus 360On development of the written word

Do you sleep with your cell phone beside your bed?

Do you interrupt what you are doing to respond to an incoming email, text or call?

Do you work from home some of the time?

Do you work only during “business hours”?

CYFERnet Tech• Demonstrate effectiveness of CYFAR through

publication, promotion of CYFAR work• Demonstrate public value of Extension, land grant

institutions through links to their resources• Link to CYF and other resources to support CYFAR

site• Website, Facebook and Twitter accounts , blogs,

Wiggio and Google groups• Host webinars, listservs, and virtual events • Host resources, assist with markup, graphics,

multimedia, etc. as needed

Technology Guiding Principle

A CYFAR program has adequate information and communication technology infrastructure, and it models effective and innovative applications for professional development, educational programming, online collaboration and publishing.

Page 8: Change is Gonna Come: Technology Transforming Our World Trudy Dunham for the CYFERnet Technology Team.

Tech Infrastructure & Management• Hardware: – Mobile – Individual & shared/group use– Peripherals

• Networking / Internet access– Broadband– Mobile– VPN (virtual private network)

• Software & apps• Cloud and Collaborative computing• Technical assistance, training and support

Page 9: Change is Gonna Come: Technology Transforming Our World Trudy Dunham for the CYFERnet Technology Team.

Tech Infrastructure & Management• Workshifting Guidelines:

– Paperless– Carry your tools with you – Take time to learn, to practice – Be contactable, keep a visible calendar– Be disciplined, know when to unplug

• Collaborative Technologies:– Smart phone – Web-based remote access– Secure laptop with logins, pin– Wireless networks within office space – Instant messaging, chat, VoIP, video conferencing– Remote presentation tools– Team collaboration work tools in the clouds – Project management – Social networking

Page 10: Change is Gonna Come: Technology Transforming Our World Trudy Dunham for the CYFERnet Technology Team.

Tech in Evaluation, Collaboration, Program Planning & Marketing

• CYFERnetSEARCH.org • CYFAR Reporting database • CYFAR Professionals Database • Technology Informal Learning Environment (TILE)• General Online practices & tools– Search program ideas and grant opportunities– Produce website, blog, tweets, text blasts, video– Online collaboration on projects and grants– Electronic publishing

Page 11: Change is Gonna Come: Technology Transforming Our World Trudy Dunham for the CYFERnet Technology Team.

Tech in Prof Dev & Scholarship• Online CYFERnet seminars• Virtual Summit• CYFAR Conference Proceedings• CYFERnet Database• Technology Informal Learning Environment• CYFAR Program Spotlight• General Tools & Resources:

– Online journals, articles and reports– Online classes, videos– Podcasts & videos to download and go– Collaboration and research tools – Writing & critique aids

Page 12: Change is Gonna Come: Technology Transforming Our World Trudy Dunham for the CYFERnet Technology Team.

Tech in Educational Programming

• Think social, mobile, geolocation, interactive• Attract, intrinsic motivation, engagement• Learning and publishing platform to build

science, citizenship, art, health, workforce, etc. knowledge & skills

• Technology/network literacy awareness and skills essential to 21st century life

• Tie technology into your logic model components and show its impact on participants

Page 13: Change is Gonna Come: Technology Transforming Our World Trudy Dunham for the CYFERnet Technology Team.

Modeling Effective Interactive Use

• What are you doing with technology that is new, innovative – at least for our system? Are you an early adopter?

• Is it an application with a population, community, issue, process?

• How tie into the research or model?• Issues with adaptation, fidelity, innovation• Tip: Find a (or several) Tech Mentor

Page 14: Change is Gonna Come: Technology Transforming Our World Trudy Dunham for the CYFERnet Technology Team.

Tech Trends

• Social, interactive• Video• Mobile• Geolocation• BYOT• JIT, JE, JFM• ‘Bite-size’ learning modules• ‘Writing for Web’

Page 15: Change is Gonna Come: Technology Transforming Our World Trudy Dunham for the CYFERnet Technology Team.

Change Example: Training as Conversation

• Your Audience view themselves as Participants• They expect to be able to ‘shape’ the event• “Back channel” tweets/SMS simultaneously

with presentation, discussing what is said/presented, and rating it

• Interactive features such as polls, dashboards, • Key that the presenter responds, and

incorporates questions, comments, feedback

Example: Selecting a Tool

• Think function; actual tools will vary• Criteria: – Access: ADA, cross platform, cost, bandwidth,

stable (be there tomorrow)– Usability: easy to use, save time & money, need

login, need installation– Privacy & Intellectual Property: restrict access,

protect personal data, retain IP rights, save copy to your tech

– Fun Factor: engaging, motivating, creative, collaborative, connecting, interaction

Page 17: Change is Gonna Come: Technology Transforming Our World Trudy Dunham for the CYFERnet Technology Team.

Example: Publishing Online

• Program Spotlight– Accountability - why you are worth funding– New Knowledge – what you learned that the system

needs – Program Development – description – Innovation

• Program Highlights– Awards, commendations – Interesting stories – Publicity

TILE: Our Charge

• Design, host and facilitate • An online community (cohort, gathering place)• For the supportive mentorship of technology-

capacity-building teams • From land-grant university systems• Does not replace technology support services

land grant faculty should receive from their IT support service

Page 19: Change is Gonna Come: Technology Transforming Our World Trudy Dunham for the CYFERnet Technology Team.

TILE: Our Interpretation

• Create a peer network • Focused on building technology skills • Technology skills that really allow you to do

your 21st Century work better• Technologies that are so embedded in your

work it doesn’t seem like technology training

Page 20: Change is Gonna Come: Technology Transforming Our World Trudy Dunham for the CYFERnet Technology Team.

Why A Peer-to-Peer Network?

• Accelerate innovation, don’t reinvent• Reduce risk, learn from my mistakes• Improved use of resources, be my consultant• Improve quality, use each other’s ideas • Improve individual effectiveness and job

satisfaction, trusted colleagues who mentor • Advance the field – pool everyone’s expertise

Focus on Building Skills

• What does a 21st Century CYF professional & volunteer need to know about technology?

• Online Networking and Social Media • Online Learning • Online Teaching/ Training• Online Scholarship • Online Marketing/Public Communication

What’s With the ILE?

• Informal Learning Environment• Networking is the currency for getting things

done• To fit needs of a diverse peer group• 80% of learning is informal• Questions lead to conversations more than to

answers

TILE Structure• Weekly email message • Check out the TILE site • Read the Blog post each Tuesday, do the activity• Engage with us and your peers by posting

comments, ideas, questions. • Keep up the conversation during the week • No set time, no login, will do a ‘tech profile’• Honest forward-looking discussion• Your conversation• Begin July 18
