Informating Highlights

Informating requires a cultural change in the way teachers teach. The classroom becomes student centered with students taking more ownership of their own learning. Teachers have to be prepared to take risks and need on-going training and administrative support. Don't expect too much too soon, take small steps!
Two simple first steps:
1. Work with a small group of teachers who are excited and motivated to explore and integrate technology.
2. Focus on teachers needs when collaboratively developing a template.

The technology integration specialist can build room for expansion of informating resources beyond current classroom needs:
authors chat
online quizzes
collaborative projects
