Part 2 Where are we going?

In part one I answered the question “Where are we now?” In part two I define the vision for technology use in the county.

Culture of Learning

Readiness
Digital age teachers use digital tools to assess the readiness of students and families for blended learning.

Instructional Planning

Robert Marzano identified nine essential instructional strategies that increase student achievement (Marzano, 2007). To support instructional planning, the nine strategies are divided into three zones. Digital age teachers use technology to create an environment for learning, help students develop understanding, and help students extend and apply learning.

Support for Struggling Students

Educators use flexible technologies to design for learner variability. They offer choices for Engagement, Representation, and Action and Expression to reach the broadest range of learners.
Engagement
  • Video
  • Documents
  • Formative assessments
  • Discussion boards
  • Interactives
Representation
  • Auditory information
  • Visual information
Action & Expression
  • Demonstrating competency
  • Tools
  • Products

Assessment and Analysis

Formative assessment tools provide instant feedback for students and make it easier for educators to identify subgroups of students in need of additional support or rigor and gaps in knowledge. 

​Digital age teachers use digital tools to--
  • monitor student progress towards mastery of content area and technology standards, 
  • develop formative and summative assessments that incorporate enhanced item types,  
  • and create opportunities for learners to demonstrate competency in alternative ways.

Data Collection

Digital age teachers use technology for data collection and use perception, demographic, achievement, and performance data to make decisions about teaching and learning.
