“We’re up against
forces that are not
the fault of any

habits that prevent
us from being who
we want to be....”

change vision
and straegy.


4. Communicate for

buy-in.

5. Empower others to act.

6. Produce short-term
wins.
(or, as Wiggins and McTighe share,
long-term goals that are manifest in short-
term work)

7. Don’t let up.

hierarchies--and
recognize the reality of networks.

critical conditions for
meaningful parent and
student engagement


parents, students and
educators each offer their
strengths, experiences and
dreams to the
conversation or activity.


Whether students and parents are
in a classroom, a meeting or a
public hearing, they must be active
participants.

to be intelligent agents, capable of
contributing important and

and emotionally


Meaningfulnes is the product of
connectedness, of sharing, of contribution.

Our children have the untapped capacity to
make the world a better place today.

Dr. Tim Tyson

Session Materials - http://snipurl.com/ota2008
Computers are not the
catalyst for
change...reflecting on your
instructional practice each
day is.
• Adapted from Research notes here:
http://tinyurl.com/2xfbym


Encourage Reflection on

Instructional Practice.

• Expect administrators and teachers to
keep blogs, not web pages, up to date
with content.
• Share how free technology classes for
senior citizens are facilitated by students.
• Blog about what you’re doing, what
works and what hasn’t.


3. Model Technology as Tool to

Global Skills and Strategies

• use technology as a tool for
communication,
• collaboration,
• creation of information, as well as
• accessing, analyzing and organizing
information.


and...


Create experiences
that
engage intellectually
and emotionally
