Incorporating More Technology usage in the Classroom

""Getting more comfortable with using technology/ new educational computer programs in the classroom"

Purpose

For mentee to become confident in incorporating more technology in lessons and activities in the classroom.

Has a fairly large number of students in classroom and in fear that she may not be able to monitor students usage of computers in classroom for certain activities. She has experience using technology in the classroom but stated that she is beginning to lead Pd’s at her school and wants to get over her nervousness in presenting by getting more familair with using tech in class. Also stated wants help in discovering more educational activities on the computer that she can incorporate in her lessons for students to actively participate in and also students critically think and share their thoughts. From intial survey mentee took before coaching sessions begin the data shows that she has alot of growth and has the willingsness to want to incoporate technology into her classroom with the changing lansdacape we are currently under.

Break out of shell and use new educational tools in the classroom that can make grading test and quizzes easier for mente.

Grows confidence and able to use Go Guardian in monotoring students while using computers and completing other activities.

Tool/Stategy Chosen

Educational Tools being used: Microsoft Teams, Nearpod, Pearassessment, GoGuardian and Canvas. For mentee Microsoft teams was suggested for better organization for her classes and assigments given to students online any test or Quizzes she may give can all be held on teams. Neapod for more interactive lessons for students to where in real time they can share their thoughts on topics and whether or not they understand what was taught. Goguardian also played a major key because mentee could make sure students did stray off from the task at hand. Canvas was also suggested to Mentee similiar to teams. Teams was more conveinent and easier for mentee to work.

Stategy Chosen: The strategy that was chosen for mentee was as follows: 1. Mentee choose from software/hardware that she was familiar with and could understand how to function. 2. Give Mentee approriate time to get better acculated in using educational tools, know the ends and outs. 3. Make mentee take a risk and use an educational program/tool that they are not used to for them to step out of the box, would be avalible for any questions. 4. For mentee to understand that with all technology you may run into problems and you may have to troubleshoot. "It is not the end of the World everything will be fine!"

Research

Key articles that played a big part in Coaching Decisions

The second article was "How to Encourage Teachers to Use Technology" The article outlines strategies to help teachers embrace technology by emphasizing collaboration, demonstrating practical benefits, and providing ongoing support. It suggests starting with manageable tools, aligning technology with instructional goals, and fostering a safe environment for experimentation. By the end of our coaching sessions, I hope that my Mentee will be fully confident in using technology in the class and provide support to other teachers at her school who may need some coaching or tech support. She can use the same approach that was used with her and that it taking things one step at a step and answering endless questions.

While researching what would be the best direction to go in leading my Mentee i ran across two very good articles. One was titled " How to Get Hesitant Teachers to Use Educational Technology" The article offers strategies to help hesitant teachers embrace technology, emphasizing small, meaningful steps and personalized support. It suggests integrating tools aligned with teachers' goals, providing peer-led demonstrations, and offering autonomy in experimentation. These methods build confidence and foster ownership of new practices. It also mentioned a bit of data concerning teachers straying away from tech and what they needed. In my coaching i really took the intiative to take small meaningful steps and not to rush mentee into using a program she was not comfortable using.
