teacher
directed
learning
to
purely
student
directed
work.
I
am
the
cruise
ship
captain
that
facilitates
the
students
during
their
choice
time.
It
is
difficult
to
manage
30
students
working
on
30
different
projects
or
subject
matters.
I
rely
heavily
on
the
use
of
technology
and
the
Internet.
Most
of
the
technology
planning
in
my
classroom
is
based
on
teaching
students
how
to
navigate,
search,
and
share
online.
These
skills
allow
the
students
to
be
completely
self-directed
during
their
art
time.
To
promote
student
autonomy,
all
aspects
of
teaching
and
learning
are
examined
through
the
lens
of
transformation
(Jaquith
&
Hathaway,
2012,
p.
2).
A
strong
connection
can
be
made
from
TAB
art
to
new
literacies.
Teaching
artistic
behavior
has
allowed
me
to
truly
facilitate
innovation.
Along
with
instructing
students
how
to
navigate
the
in
this
digital
age,
I
also
give
them
choice
options
that
involve
paradigm
cases
of
new
literacies.
Lankshear
and
Knobel
(2014)
refer
to
these
examples
as
cases
that
differ
from
conventional
reading
and
writing
literacies.
These
include
photo
curating
and
sharing,
building
apps
and
games,
creating
animations,
designing
web
pages,
to
name
just
a
few.
My
students
are
excited
about
coming
to
class
so
that
they
can
direct
their
own
learning.
They
get
to
explore
many
different
types
of
art
and
that
allows
them
to
hone
in
on
what
is
truly
important
to
them.
Building
In
the
last
three
years,
I
have
been
co-creating
a
program
in
our
building
that
ensures
that
all
students
receive
instruction
whether
or
not
it
is
in
the
traditional
classroom.
We
call
this
program
Distance
Learning.
Distance
education
programs
involve
teaching
students
out
of
the
classroom.
We
harness
the
use
of
technology
to
TECHNOLOGY PLANNING
remotely
engage
these
students
in
their
learning.
Research
shows
that
there
is
no
difference
in
outcomes
whether
a
student
is
in
class
or
at
a
distance
(Hattie,
2009,
p.
232).
With
a
building
that
serves
100%
free
lunch,
40%
ELL,
and
80%
minority
students,
it
is
safe
to
say
that
we
have
our
hands
full.
Many
of
our
students
require
intensive
socio-emotional
care
and
often
find
it
difficult
to
be
successful
in
a
traditional
classroom
due
to
factors
such
as
class
size,
instruction
strategies,
teacher/student
relationships,
etc.
According
to
Hattie,
(2009)
Behavior
interventions
prove
to
be
76%
effective
where
non-behavioral
interventions,
such
as
suspension,
are
only
35%
effective.
When
a
student
is
continuously
disruptive
in
a
classroom
the
administrative
team
can
remove
the
student
from
that
room
and
place
them
in
the
Distance
Learning
classroom.
There
is
a
behavior
interventionist
that
works
specifically
with
these
students
to
work
on
socio-emotional
skills,
expectations,
and
all
while
delivering
classroom
content.
Research
also
indicates
that
in
school
and
out
of
school
suspension
serves
as
a
short-term
response
with
no
known
benefit
except
relieving
the
school
of
the
behavior
problem
(Parrett
&
Budge,
2012,
p.
108).
This
program
ensures
that
the
student
is
not
able
to
disrupt
other
students
learning,
but
still
gives
the
student
the
opportunity
to
learn
and
in
a
transformative
fashion.
District
Teacher
efficacy
is
among
one
of
the
most
important
aspects
of
building
a
successful
learning
environment.
According
to
Marzano
(2003),
teacher
efficacy
is
grounded
in
the
teachers
perception
that
they
are
able
to
cause
change
in
their
schools
(p.62).
In
order
to
make
this
happen
teachers
must
feel
like
they
are
a
TECHNOLOGY PLANNING
valued
part
of
making
climate
and
culture
decisions
for
their
own
school
and
district.
For
the
last
two
years
I
have
been
serving
as
the
secondary
art
PLC
(professional
learning
community)
facilitator
along
with
two
other
members
of
my
team.
Through
this
job,
we
are
able
to
design
PD
(professional
development)
that
builds
creative
capacity
in
our
art
teachers
and
with
that
capacity
comes
showing
other
art
teachers
how
they
can
use
technology
in
their
classroom
to
transform
their
current
teaching.
Marzano
(2003)
also
contends
that
meaningful
professional
development
is
another
main
component
of
impacting
student
achievement
(p.65).
We
have
gone
from
a
purely
sit
and
get
style
learning
to
a
more
hands-on
approach
that
includes
technology
infused
right
into
the
instruction.
By
exposing
teachers
to
new
literacies
they
are
able
to
walk
away
from
each
session
with
techniques,
strategies,
and
lessons
that
can
immediately
be
translated
into
their
own
instruction.
Conclusion
How do you know if the technology is impacting learning? It very well may
TECHNOLOGY
PLANNING
everyone
understands
the
difference
between
implementing
technology
to
transform
learning
and
implementing
technology
for
technologies
sake.
