Week 1 part 7
- 1. Theme #5: Shift… Or else • The fact is, SHIFT or not, we do not have much of a choice • Schools, administrators, parents, students, etc expect us to adapt • Sometimes, it is the law • If we do not adapt, others will (and we risk becoming irrelevant) • Ex. New Tech High School – Project-Based Learning and Technology… • New Tech High – All over Indiana! (Watch until 4:41) EDUC W200 Week 1
- 2. Theme #5: Shift… Or else Think-Pair Share (3 Minutes): • If technology is making waves Indiana and Mississippi, could you teach in a New Tech school? • In the next 31-34 years (until you retire), what is going to happen in schools? How are you going to keep up with the SHIFTs that we have addressed? EDUC W200 Week 1
- 3. Summary • In the weeks ahead, we will expand on each of these themes • As technology (and the world around us) changes, we as teachers must adapt – not give in, not ignore, but adapt and make good decisions • This course is about navigating all of this SHIFT and making good decisions as teachers o And to learn that there are tech tools that can make our classrooms better and lives easier – but that is your decision to make EDUC W200 Week 1
