Aaryn Schmuhl: “Our system views technology as tools that give students the power to create demonstrations of mastery. Technology today is not about a device, or software package, or even a particular project. Technology is about connecting and creating and demonstrating mastery. ” Schmuhl, A. (2013). Email interview.

Instructional Technology Services Department: “Instructional Technology supports the uses of technology as a means to … accelerate the documented benefits of research-based instructional strategies. ” Blanton (2013)

Yelland : “when such technologies are embedded in the curriculum, young children can not only experience concepts that were previously well beyond that expected of them, but they can deploy sophisticated strategies and work collaboratively with others in new and dynamic ways. ” Yelland (2005)

Change Mediation “One of the most common and serious mistakes… is to presume that once an innovation has been introduced an initial training has been completed, the intended users will put the innovation into practice. A second serious mistake is to assume that all users of the implementation will react in similar ways. ” Hord, et al. (1987)

Reflectio n Selecting and Evaluating Emerging Technologies The first thing I learned is that there is a constantly growing world of emerging instructional technologies and strategies to be explored. (It was difficult to choose which to explore. ) This proliferation is due to the interactive and collaborative nature of today’s digital communication platforms. I am also starting to see how important it is to teach students with a similar model. Knowledge is fluid, changing by the moment, defined now by authentic, global, robust communities of co-learners, rather than by a limited group of ivory tower, theoretical thinkers. We have to instill a confidence in our students that they can work individually, or with others, to be knowledge creators rather than simply knowledge receivers. These digital tablets, along with all of the other devices that are finding their way into the learning process, are truly making content, knowledge, expression, and assessment accessible to all learners.

Reflection Professional Practice Though I initially rolled my eyes at the requirement to address change mitigation, as I read through the materials about CBAM and a couple of other strategies, I was glad that requirement was included. I have long been of the mindset, “Just suck it up and do what is required, ” and I have had little patience for people who did not take that approach. I had not taken the time to learn why people are resistant, but more importantly, how there are differences in the way people react to change. I realize now, if you take individual doubts and concerns into consideration, address those issues with reassurance, then help to establish an internal motivation, and a confidence that assistance will ensue; you can reduce that resistance to change. I think I am a kinder and gentler agent of change, as a result of this study. Start
