I feel this is my mantra right now, Anything is possible, create and propose! Go!
Yesterday we had a meeting at TRECA, the group sponsoring this adventure with all participants and administrators for each building. I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed. Being encouraged to think outside of the box gives one a feeling of being in a box at times. These were the things I heard from the organizers that are inspiring and bouncing around in my mind.

-we are wanting different, #of kids, time, personalized, curricular structures
-has to be sustainable
-does not have to include technology
-create a program to spread around the rest of building
-come up with the next greatest idea
-SAMR, wanting the projects to be modification or redefinition of tech
-transformation of a learning environment
-a true change has to be really thoughtful
-include PD, equipment, network, conferences, travel, time
-we are partnering to make something awesome
-not a grant model, we will help redraft and redraft
-what would a wonderful learning environment look like?
-products may not exist, idea and we will help get it designed
-focus and measure student growth, engagement, personalization
-think outside the box
What do these things make you think of in a primary, Kindergarten classroom? I'd love to hear any suggestions or thoughts you might have. Brainstorming is better in collaboration.
I am not familiar with SAMR but would like to follow the developments. They sound interesting and a good way of tracking the usefulness of tech.
ReplyDeleteGail, thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment. I did find the levels of tech use interesting. We are being pushed to create a project looking at modification and redefinition.
