- Are teachers intentionally integrating ICT skills?
- Click here for data results
- This question is misleading as one would hope the answer is yes, but isn't the goal to have the technology just be a natural, seamless tool of learning? This level of integration will evolve.
- Upon questioning teachers who are adventurers with technology I have learned that with the exception of one, all believe it is not their job to teach technology. They believe students should already know how to send email and save documents. According to the ICT curriculum mapping document these skills are taught and learned in middle school.
- 9th Grade Honors Research is a collaborative unit taught, planned and assessed by an English Teacher and Library Media Specialist. The ICT strand, Research and Information Literacy expectations are the basis for this unit. The media specialist bases assessment of the process on the Effective User of Technology School Wide Rubric.
- Are the SWR being used to assess ICT skills?
- 28% -but the rubric needs to be dynamic, maybe it is outdated already and it needs to be adapted to the learning expectations in the content area.
- Example - Culture Project
- Are students who are ICT proficient, information literate as well?
- Yes, I do not think we can or should separate information literacy from the ICT standards.. If we revist the Effective User of Technology School Wide Rubric. and we assess the process skills of being information and technologically literate we recognize the expectations for student learning meet the same goal.
DATA FINDING:
My perceptions are proven true:
ICT skills are not being developed with intention
I do not collaborate consistently with teachers
Most teachers are not assessing ICT skills
Without assessment we don't know if students are proficient ICT users.
PROBLEM FINDING:
How can the Library Media Specialists plan with the classroom teacher to integrate ICT competencies with curriculum standards so that students are assessed on the process of acquiring knowledge using a collaboratively developed rubric?
I believe being an accessible and credible partner are key to collaboration. To that end I must continue to seek opportunities to improve and update my technology integration knowledge. I also believe that the importance of developing competent 21st Century Learners must be the focus of every educator. To that end we need to include an ICT component in our Professional Development Plans.
