Context Setting
• Students using technology for learning
• Teachers using technology to support and
enhance their own professional learning
• Teachers integrating technology into learning
experiences
• Learning leaders and communities developing
systemic uses of technology, including to
facilitate, extend and enhance professional
learning
www.smcoe.org
Today’s Learning Flow
• Exploring ISTE Essential Conditions for TechnologyMediated Learning
• Exploring ISTE Standards Family by and across “roles”
to guide systemic change
• Exploring learningforward Exemplar Standards for
Professional Learning
• Engaging the SAMR Model for Technology Integration
• Assessing Levels of Technology Integration Practices
• Implications for Professional Learning Across All
Contexts

Positive Presupposition #1:
Technology does and will continue to provide a
range of options and opportunities for
extending and enhancing student learning.
www.smcoe.org
Key Question:
What are the necessary conditions to effectively
leverage technology for learning?
www.smcoe.org
Activity: ISTE Essential Conditions
1. Read ISTE’s list of essential conditions and their
descriptions
https://www.iste.org/standards/essential-conditions
2. Share your general impression of these conditions
and their interrelationships
3. We’ll return to these in a little bit…
www.smcoe.org
Positive Presupposition #2:
By developing their own understanding and
knowledge of technology for learning, as well as
their skills and proficiency using and integrating
it effectively into learning experiences, teachers
(learning facilitators) can help optimize the use
of technology for improved student learning.
www.smcoe.org
Key Question:
What’s important for students to learn,
understand, know, and be able to do related to
the productive use of technology for learning?
www.smcoe.org
Activity: ISTE Standards Family - Students
1. Form a group of 3
2. Divvy up the 6 ISTE•S standards (2 each) and read
3. Reflect (internally) to identify a specific improving
practice in your district where technology is being
used to support students achieving all or part of
your selected standards
4. Share the above with your group members and
discuss
5. Optional: Discuss the correlation of ISTE•S with
other frameworks for students and technology
www.smcoe.org
Key Question:
What’s important for educators to learn,
understand, know, and be able to do related to
the productive use of technology for learning?
(And by whom [by which roles] within our
learning systems?)
www.smcoe.org
Activity: ISTE Standards Family - Adults
1. In the same group of 3, divvy up the adult “members”
of the ISTE Standards family, one each (don’t worry
about the Computer Science Educators for now…)
2. Read (vertically) the standards for the role you’ve
selected (https://www.iste.org/standards/)
3. Share and discuss highlights of each role with your
group
4. Using the ISTE Standards by Role Matrix, compare
(horizontally) common themes/content across the
standards and how each role orients to a particular
theme (e.g., digital age learning)
www.smcoe.org
Positive Presupposition #3:
A supportive context for effective professional
learning is critical for teachers to be able to
develop their own understanding and
knowledge of technology for learning, as well as
their skills and proficiency using and integrating
it effectively into learning experiences, all so
that they can optimize the use of technology for
improved student learning.
www.smcoe.org
Key Question:
How do we as educators and members of
learning organizations/communities contribute
to and participate in shaping and sustaining
professional learning?
What standards, frameworks, processes, designs
do we, or might we access and effectively utilize
in support of such learning?
www.smcoe.org
Activity: learningforward Standards for PL
1. On your own, read each of the 7 standard
descriptors (standard title and bold type standard)
2. At your table, discuss your initial impressions and
insights about these standards
3. Juxtapose the ISTE Essential Conditions and
learningforward Standards for Professional
Learning; what relationships do you observe?
4. Juxtapose the ISTE Standards and learningforward
Standards for Professional Learning; what parallels
do you observe between educator roles in these
two sets of standards?

How does this sample “IC” Map describe the uses,
the roles of technology for professional learning?

Activity: What Makes this a S, an A, a M, a R?
1. Read the “framing slide” for a particular content
area or topic
2. First pass: As each slide in a 4-slide SAMR
progression group is shown, talk with table mates to
identify the technology being shown and its
(possible) use
3. Second pass: As possible, identify what about the
technology and its use links it to that SAMR level
4. Debrief as a room

Assessing Levels of
Technology Integration Practices
http://goo.gl/4ODzrk
www.smcoe.org
Assessing Levels of
Technology Integration Practices
• What connections to SAMR did you perceive in this
survey?
• How might your teachers score?
• Based on those scores, how might these results guide
the design for PL?
• What, if any, other such assessments* have you used
in your districts? How have they worked to guide PL?
(*What other assessments exist?)
www.smcoe.org
Implications and Opportunities for PL
Across all Contexts
• What are some implications of today’s learning for
your own and/or district PL?
• What opportunities do you perceive to incorporate
some of today’s resources in your district?
• How might the use of exemplar standards for PL assist
you and your district in its PL efforts?
• What next action focused on improving your own
and/or your district’s approach to PL are you ready to
commit to?
