This call to action was inspired by our second Cohort 21 F2F session where we learned about different technology integration models. After this session, I realized that I was working to define how my technology use supported or improved the learning in my classes\u2026 and I was having trouble determining the answer. The problem was that I didn\u2019t have the tools to examine my planning and pedagogy with a purposeful framework. Thanks to C21, I now have some truly valuable resources to guide me in my learning.<\/p>\n<p>Personally, I found that the <a title=\"SAMR model\" href=\"http:\/\/www.educatorstechnology.com\/2013\/06\/samr-model-explained-for-teachers.html\" target=\"_blank\">SAMR model<\/a> connected most with my understanding of how technology can enhance and transform the learning that I am planning out in my senior social science &amp; humanities courses. I am excited to explore this model further as a key part of my action plan that will <em>focus on investigating the connections between technology use and meaningful learning experiences, especially in relation to independent study projects.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Some key questions that will guide my action research are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>how can I contribute to a student outlook on learning that will encourage engagement in making meaningful connections with individualized inquiry questions?<\/li>\n<li>how will technology use engage my students as inquisitive thinkers?<\/li>\n<li>how can social technology tools (such as a blog, e-portfolio and collaborative use of diigo) aid my students as they undertake an individualized study unit around a topic of their choosing?<\/li>\n<li>how will technology use create meaningful learning experiences?<\/li>\n<li>how will the SAMR model help me to better understand the purpose and function of technology in my classroom?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In writing this post, I recognize that I will have to narrow the focus of my plan, in part because each of these questions could generate an entire action plan on its own. \u00a0I know that I am not alone in thinking about these kinds of questions, I look forward to hearing your ideas as we all work to &#8220;level up&#8221; together.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s time to level up on how I use technology in my classes.
