This process was both challenging, but beneficial thus worth it.
The most challenging aspect would be the one teacher who did not participate by
using the technology tools in their classroom. I regret to admit the lack of
communication that happened between myself, the technology leader, and this
teacher. They felt they were not well equipped to handle using the two
technology tools in their classroom. The most positive aspect would be that the
other three teachers all agreed with my change and are ready to keep Showbie
and Mastery Connect moving forward in their classrooms.
I believe that Showbie and Mastery Connect are still important tools
to use in the classroom because of the value they add. They allow us to be
better teachers and instruct to the best of our abilities, after assessing data
and scores.
I believe the next steps for this pilot change program would be to
integrate Showbie and Mastery Connect in other areas of the school. I could
work with other departments in my school setting and work on teaching them both
of these technology tools, improving their departments as well. Eventually, it
might be possible that the entire school is using the same two tools to work
through their assessments.
The next step for me personally as a change agent is to remember
the importance of being a technology leader. I need to take the confidence that
this program has given me and share my new talents with others to improve their
technology usage as well.
