the tools. The PLI requires a shift when thinking about the traditional role of the teacher. Technology now offers the ability for the teacher to facilitate student-centered, authentic experiences to reinforce skills needed to be successful citizens in our world. Teachers can facilitate a more engaging learning experience at an individualized pace with the use of technology. The initiative is not about the tool used, but about how it is used to effectively facilitate learning. With that being said, a device selection committee has selected Apple as the vendor of choice for this endeavor. The device for student use will be the iPad. Instructors will use a MacBook Air for content creation and an iPad for classroom use. This incorporation of technology will work in tandem more efficiently to align transformed teaching styles and methods to the diverse ways in which students learn. The Framework for Using Technology in Education Teachers will not be expected to transform the way they teach overnight. Adequate and effective Professional Development is critical for teachers to have ample opportunity to achieve expertise and comfort level to implement the PLI. Traditionally, technology tools given to teachers have been specific tools for the teacher. With this PLI, the tool becomes student-centered, therefore redefining the learning environment. Professional Development will focus on creation of lessons that are based in the SAMR Model for integrating technology in education. The SAMR Model, created by Xx. Xxxxx Xxxxxxxxxx, takes learning from the introductory level of “Substitution” to “Redefinition.” This model is intended to provide teachers with a way to self-reflect and refine their practice and pedagogy using instructional technology. Furthermore, this model is used by Apple Professional Development Educators in training due to the research that supports its validity.
