Dear Technology list colleagues,

 

I am very pleased to announce that Marian Thatcher, a regular
contributor to the tech list, will be leading a discussion on the newly
launched Technology Integration Self-Assessment (TISA) next week. More
information about the TISA will follow on a subsequent email. For now
here is the general shape the discussion will take. What other questions
and areas of concern would you like to see addressed?

 

Discussion Announcement:

 

On October 1 - 5, Marian Thacher will be joining the NIFL Technology and
Literacy Discussion List to lead a discussion on the new online
technology self-assessment for teachers at AdultEd Online,
www.adultedonline.org.

Marian is the director of OTAN (www.otan.us) a California adult
education project that provides information and technology integration
support for adult educators in California. Prior to her five years with
OTAN, she taught ESL and was involved in workplace education and media
projects in San Diego and Chicago.

In addition to sharing information about the self-assessment and the
professional development plan that accompanies it, Marian will share the
development process and resources that were used to create the tool.
Questions related to technology integration are:

1. What are the skills an adult education teacher should have in order
to use technology effectively with learners?

2. What is the role of a professional development plan, and how should
it be used?

3. How do we keep up with the fast pace of technology change? What are
our learning strategies?

What other questions would you like to discuss about technology
integration competencies, professional development plans, and the
challenge of keeping up?

 

Regards,

Mariann
