Technology is not pedagogy
The use of technology is not an educational outcome, it is a
means to support an educational outcome.
Loading up workshops with unnecessary technology can
become more distracting than engaging.
Reflection with Technology
Reflection is an integral part of learning:
• After task reflections
• Home tasks/group work/cohort
• ‘Parking Lot’ question area
• See Think Wonder (Visible Thinking)
• 2 Stars and a Wish
Networking with TechnologyUsing technology to connect with others within or outside of your workshop

• Create a pre-workshop survey
• Form an online collaborative space
• Connect via social media (i.e. Twitter)

• Group work tasks
• Developing a Personal Learning Network (PLN)

Big 4 Social Networks
Using Wikis & BlogsOnline spaces can be used to hold content, collaborate and to share
resources within a workshop. These spaces can be as ‘open’ or private as you like via the privacy settings.
• Google Sites
• Wikispaces
• Weebly
• Blogger
Suggestions for GApps UseUse Google Apps in your workshop to enhance interactivity before, during or after a
workshop.
• Google Form survey
• Google Presentation
• Create workshop quizzes
• Google Drive for file sharing
• Hangout with ‘expert’
• Crowdsourcing
More Collaboration ToolsThere are a variety of free and paid tools that one can use to enhance the workshop
experience. Remember to start with the outcome in mind, not the tool!
• VoiceThread
• Poplet
• Prezi
• Animoto
• Padlet

More ideas for QR Codes found here
ExampleHere is an example of a QR Code linked to an introduction (class handshake) while making a global connection with another class. The QR Code contained a video introduction and school tour and was pasted on the back of the hard copy book this class created to send to a class across the globe.
Data Visualization
Infographics Create interactive infographics- free infogr.am
•More free infographic tools•Use pinterest to find one already made to order
Data Visualization make numbers accessible and persuasive
•Data visualization – try Tableau
Use infographics to communicate information in an effective way
CopyrightObtain the proper copyright permission. If you
wish to link to a video, website or post a non-IB
document, you will need to obtain the rightful
permission.
Something that is in another workbook or is
posted on the Workshop Resource Center is not
fair game if it is not approved for your particular
workshop.
Better still, look for Creative Commons
licensed material.
Creative CommonsWhat is it?
A standardized way to give the public permission to share your work, or use other’s work.
Where to find Creative Commons images
for your workshop slides or workbooks
Images
Compfight (Flickr)
Google Images
Photopin
Video
YouTube- Licenses
Vimeo
Remember: It’s your responsibility to follow copyright laws
Reuse and Citation
• Always check license
• Check the license at the original source
• Good practice to acknowledge
• Be a good role model
Licenses
There are many licenses that educators need be aware of. These licenses can be found on images and as educators we need to be role models for learners. It Is not ‘ok’ to copy an image from the internet and use as your own.
ISTE Standards
Many schools use ISTE (International Society of Technology in Education) as their standard for integrating technology into pedagogy. Check out www.iste.org for more information.
Workshop Housekeeping TipsLaptops are more conducive to electronic document viewing and sharing than a
tablet device. Many participants who have attended workshops with their tablet
devices have regretted not bringing their laptops instead.
Do not cut and paste web links to the OCC.
Participants should access the OCC with their
passwords.
You may wish to offer two lists of documents –
one that is absolutely necessary to participate in
the workshop and one that is suggested just for
reference.
A pre workshop survey is advised (F2F)
Have a backup plan if the tech fails! (China)
Online Curriculum
Center (OCC)
The Online Curriculum Centre (OCC) is the official IB
document library. The Workbook Resource Center (WRC) is
a component of the OCC and where workbooks are created.
Our goal is to have participants access as many documents
as possible via the OCC before and during the workshop.
Focus your workbook on documents that are relevant to
activities in the workshop yet not easily available through the
OCC or the IB website.
Summary
• Use technology to enhance learning
• Its not about the cool tool
• Always use tech with outcome in mind
• Be aware of copyright and licenses
• Model good digital citizenship
