Element B1: School Technology Infrastructure
Element B1: School Technology Infrastructure
Description: The presence of working and easily accessible infrastructure (e.g., broadband or wifi access), hardware (e.g., laptop computers, tablets) and support (e.g., a school-based technology specialist and IT support staff).
What effective implementation looks like:
- My classroom has strong broadband access, sufficient hardware for my students to engage in CT integration activities, and IT support staff, either on site or off site, available to help me troubleshoot problems when needed
- My school has a plan for sharing technology resources among teachers, ensuring that all classrooms and students have access
- I regularly receive the training and support needed to help me implement new technology or digital resources in my teaching
Self-Reflection Question: Do I have adequate amounts of hardware, apps, and broadband access to ensure that students can engage in plugged CT-related activities? What level of implementing plugged CT activities do I feel most comfortable with at this moment, and what level of integration would be most practical for me to consistently implement over time (i.e., what is my goal level of integration)? What supports do I need to help me achieve my goal?
