Hi fellow teachers. I am looking to have three teachers answer these questions. Any takers? Teacher Interview Questions: How much of a priority is it for you to teach your students how to use the technology that you integrate into your class lessons? What are your main sources for discovering the latest in educational technologies? What have you found to be the best ways to assess the effectiveness of an integrated educational technology? On a scale of 1-10, how effective do you believe your school is in the area of teaching digital literacy? What steps would you suggest for your school that may increase your school a few points on the scale? How do the teachers and administrators who take the lead in the use of technology in the classrooms share their experiences, ideas, and knowledge with other teachers? What has been the most effective piece of technology that you currently use to create authentic learning experiences for your students? How have recent education technologies been integrated into your assessments? How has edu. technologies made a difference in the differentiation of your instruction, content, and assessments for various learners? How have you noticed students using available technology to support their learning process?
