  1. ATEP Technology Project Our Adventures So Far…

  2. Purpose • To train ATEP teachers in a technology rich environment. • To provide the necessary tools for this level of integration. • To provide the necessary training and PD for this level of integration. • To conduct meaningful research related to our experiences.

  3. A Quick Snapshot of Our Students… • In some ways, the demographics of this group are similar to the Faculty overall… • 14 females, 5 males (19 total) • 17 seek to teach within Alberta when they’re done. • Almost all express a desire to “make a difference” or having a “lifelong passion for teaching” as the reason they are in the program.

  4. A Quick Snapshot of Our Students… • In other ways they are NOT… • Average age is 34.8 • 13 of them transferred into the program from other post-secondary institutions.

  5. Methods • Combination of work with instructors and students. • Students receive PD on the use of their computers, software, etc… • Instructors have the option to integrate one or more projectsor activities in their course.

  6. Instructor Variations • Some opt to teach the activity themselves with no support. • Some opt to teach the activity themselves with training from myself. • Some opt to teach the activity with my support in the classroom. • Some will opt to have me come in and do the activity with students.

  7. Some Research Goals • To describe how the students’ understanding of the concept of “technology integration” evolves over time. • To identify best practicesin our model. • To identify specific cultural issues with technology and Aboriginal pre-service teachers.

  8. Organic Project • As challenges arise, new research ideas emerge. • E.g./ How do students feel about courses where the instructor taught the activity vs. ones where I did?

  9. The Technology Projects • Focus on integrated project-based learning. • Focus on cross-curricular learning. • Focus on “time tested” activities (though not necessary).

  10. Project Development • Projects were identified from online sources: they are what teachers are doing out there right now. • Projects are listed “without prejudice”. • Projects are mapped at the subject area level with curriculum levels integrated (will be online soon). • http://www.atep.ualberta.ca/technology/samples/maps/ICT%20Outcomes.mmap

  11. From Map to Web Site • A “living site” with project ideas. • Goal to serve the entire faculty, not just the ATEP program. • Will eventually incorporate student exemplars (when ethics clears). • http://www.atep.ualberta.ca/technology/

  18. Early Challenges • Multi-institutional technical support • Cultural differences (e.g./ student registrations and laptops) • Acquisition of technology • Cross-curricular projects and change • Instructor time • Distance • Student frustration • Gender issues?

  19. Early Successes • Flexible and enthusiastic students and instructors. • Wide range of student ages and abilities. • Early interactions have shown a sense of “fearlessness”. • Students have been very willing to work with each other when they need help.
