Using Technology to Extend and Enhance Learning
Bruce Duncan, Instructional Technology CoordinatorRebecca Vyduna, Director, STEM Center
www.smcoe.org
Context Setting
• Students using technology for learning• Teachers using technology to support and
enhance their own professional learning• Teachers integrating technology into
learning experiences• Learning leaders and communities
developing systemic uses of technology, including to facilitate, extend and enhance professional learning
www.smcoe.org
Today’s Learning Flow
• Exploring ISTE Essential Conditions for Technology-Mediated Learning
• Exploring ISTE Standards Family by and across “roles” to guide systemic change
• Exploring learningforward Exemplar Standards for Professional Learning
• Engaging the SAMR Model for Technology Integration
• Assessing Levels of Technology Integration Practices
• Implications for Professional Learning Across All Contexts

Positive Presupposition #1:
Technology does and will continue to provide a range of options and opportunities for extending and enhancing student learning.
www.smcoe.org
Key Question:
What are the necessary conditions to effectively leverage technology for learning?
www.smcoe.org
Activity: ISTE Essential Conditions
1. Read ISTE’s list of essential conditions and their descriptions
https://www.iste.org/standards/essential-conditions2. Share your general impression of these
conditions and their interrelationships 3. We’ll return to these in a little bit…
www.smcoe.org
Positive Presupposition #2:
By developing their own understanding and knowledge of technology for learning, as well as their skills and proficiency using and integrating it effectively into learning experiences, teachers (learning facilitators) can help optimize the use of technology for improved student learning.
www.smcoe.org
Key Question:
What’s important for students to learn, understand, know, and be able to do related to the productive use of technology for learning?
www.smcoe.org
Activity: ISTE Standards Family - Students
1. Form a group of 32. Divvy up the 6 ISTE•S standards (2 each) and
read3. Reflect (internally) to identify a specific
improving practice in your district where technology is being used to support students achieving all or part of your selected standards
4. Share the above with your group members and discuss
5. Optional: Discuss the correlation of ISTE•S with other frameworks for students and technology
www.smcoe.org
Key Question:
What’s important for educators to learn, understand, know, and be able to do related to the productive use of technology for learning?
(And by whom [by which roles] within our learning systems?)
www.smcoe.org
Activity: ISTE Standards Family - Adults
1. In the same group of 3, divvy up the adult “members” of the ISTE Standards family, one each (don’t worry about the Computer Science Educators for now…)
2. Read (vertically) the standards for the role you’ve selected (https://www.iste.org/standards/)
3. Share and discuss highlights of each role with your group
4. Using the ISTE Standards by Role Matrix, compare (horizontally) common themes/content across the standards and how each role orients to a particular theme (e.g., digital age learning)
www.smcoe.org
Positive Presupposition #3:
A supportive context for effective professional learning is critical for teachers to be able to develop their own understanding and knowledge of technology for learning, as well as their skills and proficiency using and integrating it effectively into learning experiences, all so that they can optimize the use of technology for improved student learning.
www.smcoe.org
Key Question:
How do we as educators and members of learning organizations/communities contribute to and participate in shaping and sustaining professional learning?
What standards, frameworks, processes, designs do we, or might we access and effectively utilize in support of such learning?
www.smcoe.org
Activity: learningforward Standards for PL
1. On your own, read each of the 7 standard descriptors (standard title and bold type standard)
2. At your table, discuss your initial impressions and insights about these standards
3. Juxtapose the ISTE Essential Conditions and learningforward Standards for Professional Learning; what relationships do you observe?
4. Juxtapose the ISTE Standards and learningforward Standards for Professional Learning; what parallels do you observe between educator roles in these two sets of standards?

Activity: What Makes this a S, an A, a M, a R?
1. Read the “framing slide” for a particular content area or topic
2. First pass: As each slide in a 4-slide SAMR progression group is shown, talk with table mates to identify the technology being shown and its (possible) use
3. Second pass: As possible, identify what about the technology and its use links it to that SAMR level
4. Debrief as a room

Assessing Levels of Technology Integration Practices
http://goo.gl/4ODzrk
www.smcoe.org
Assessing Levels of Technology Integration Practices• What connections to SAMR did you perceive in
this survey? • How might your teachers score? • Based on those scores, how might these results
guide the design for PL?• What, if any, other such assessments* have you
used in your districts? How have they worked to guide PL?
(*What other assessments exist?)
www.smcoe.org
Implications and Opportunities for PL Across all Contexts• What are some implications of today’s learning
for your own and/or district PL? • What opportunities do you perceive to
incorporate some of today’s resources in your district?
• How might the use of exemplar standards for PL assist you and your district in its PL efforts?
• What next action focused on improving your own and/or your district’s approach to PL are you ready to commit to?
