Have you ever thought about how to approach Schlechty’s design qualities in your classroom? Effective use of technology in your lessons is a great way for students to “work on the work.”
Marc Prensky, a leader in technology use in schools, states that “Our students have changed radically” and that in order for teachers to reach their students they must also change (2001). A Technology Coach is there to guide you in your endeavor to transform student learning by providing teachers and schools with customized instructional support and best technology instructional practices.
The Technology Coach is an effective strategy for focusing on technology integration as a way of meeting the No Child Left Behind goal to “improve student academic achievement through the use of technology in elementary and secondary schools” (United States Department of Education, 2001).
