what every teacher should know about tech (by Betsy and Sujie)

1. email.
2, web browser
3. PPT, Office (excel, word...)
4.always try the tech before you introduce it to your students.
5. basic knowledge about projectors.
6. protect your students (and yours) privacy online.
7. tech is not reliable all the time. Always have a backup plan.
8. it doesn't solve all your problems. You still have to be the teacher.
9. using more tech is not necessarily better.

you could also add in a threat in there like we (solene & I) did.... technology won't replace you but teachers who know technology will.

You can also add "always carry AA batteries with you just in case" :-)

Privacy is an important issue. Would you give a new hire a technology test?

I think a backup plan is important :)

Why is the black screen button called mute on the remotes???

Sujie said...

We may not give a technology test but we will give the candidate some scenarios and see what he/she will do under certain circumstances. And we will also see his/her demonstration of how to use tech to teach effectively in and outside class.

I like No. 8. You are still the teacher. For now, AI cannot replace us.
