I really appreciate Five-Star Academy providing this opportunity for free. With a kid in college, not having to take classes at a cost is a complete blessing. With my AdvancEd experience this past year, I have enough credits to renew my license without having to spend a dime. Thank you for offering this.
As for what I can do with this information, my school corporation is moving into a new era of technology integration. I am typing this on my new Mac Book Pro, I have an iPad, and am going to a meeting tonight to get an iPad for my 6th grade daughter. As a teacher, I am going to be expected to use this technology more and more over the next two years. The SAMR model was, without a doubt, the most useful piece. As we go into our meetings over the next week, I will see how much of that is being shared with our staff. If the SAMR model isn't addressed, I will offer the resources to my principal and maybe even be able to present some information to the staff. The teachers in my building typically respond to a nice blend of theory and practical advice/how-to. Our grade level teams work very well together, so they will be able to collaborate and investigate great ways to incorporate technology into their teaching.
