Complete Teacher Profile Form

Objectives:

• Acquaint participants with the Inquiry Model, and explain how it will be used as a framework for the Institute
• Familiarize the participants with one another
• List working definitions of technology integration for all participants and facilitators
• Create a knowledge database of participants expectations, perceived technology skill level, and attitudes towards technology

Description of Activity

An on-line inventory will be created that asks participants a variety of questions about their attitudes towards technology integration, how much they integrate technology into their classrooms, and areas of perceived strengths and weakness. A cumulative chart will be created so that the participants can compare their results to the rest of the group, as well as individualized printouts. Once the teachers have used the tool, a brief demonstration of how the tool can be modified to fit the needs of the classroom will be given. This activity will be used to demonstrate the creation of an on-line survey for use in the classroom. Spreadsheets will also be created and used as a model of an integration tool.

Activity

• Use Online Teacher Profile as a means to assess teachers' specialty areas (ABE, GED, etc.), resources, and attitudes and skills related to technology
• After each teacher has completed the On-line survey, share the group results of the survey using the administrative feature of Free Surveys. Com
• Give a brief demonstration how to create a survey using the site, to encourage teachers to use the site to create their own surveys

Transitioning Statement

Now that we have explored your attitudes and expectations about this Institute and technology integration in general, it is time for you to see some examples of how technology is being integrated in the Adult Ed classroom.
