When Leaders Model with Technology...

Here is a model described in this post “Teacher Tip Tuesday” by Samantha Dias that I appreciated. Professional Learning…What Can It Look Like In Schools?https://education.apple.com/en/story/250010724

As a district leader, I love to use Pages for curriculum documents. More than modeling the use of the tool, I am making the content more accessible to my teachers. I record audio of my voice as I explain specific instructional strategies or teaching methods, I insert images with descriptions, and I add video to demonstrate processes.

I want to inspire my teachers to make their lessons and resources more accessible, too.

We frequently use clips and iPad screen recording when making professional learning videos for teachers. We do this very intentionally so that when someone says “But I can’t make something like that”, we can respond with, “Yes you can. Let me walk you through how”.

Hi There,

At the end of last year we had teachers share ideas of using iPads/technology with their colleague through a gallery walk. This was fantastic at sparking discussion and creativity across learning areas (I work in a High School) and meant that teachers were learning from each other, not just those who were deemed as 'experts'. One of our teachers who shared was great enough to say that they had no idea how the students used the program, but she gave them the opportunity to use it and that was all that mattered.
