Shared beliefs and experiences
Authentic modeling of technology use for student & teacher learning
also means
Practice what you
Preach(at all levels)

“If you want to do Bring
Your Own Device, where
you get students to
bring their own devices,
do you bring your own
device? Because that’s
not an event. That’s a
culture you’re going to
have to develop. And
you have to be part of
that culture.” – David
“I carry around technology on my person… I just breathe it every day. I have the internet in my pocket and can connect with you, with the world, and learn. Any-time learning, 24/7.” - George
“Every week there’s something new out there. I have struggled to always want to buy something new. I have to go back and ask if it meets my [instructional] needs, or why am I changing my plan… I am always showing the kids my learning.” – Lisa

What does this look like?
“I got connected to people who I formed relationships with, who taught me things…
I met people who helped me be a better teacher.” - David
How?
“By getting tapped on the shoulder. From them being introduced… by learning very slowly but surely to become a networked professional. To surround myself with people I looked up to and learning with them, instead of learning by myself or only in my school.”
But, how did we meet?
![Page 12: Self-directed teacher inquiry in technology integration: Exploring the dynamics of synchronous and asynchronous collaborative teacher learning](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022060123/55978c261a28ab551e8b457b/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
“I really, really need the on-line professional learning community because that moves me forward in my thinking and learning. No one here knew [how to solve issues], so I was the only one in the school, in the whole town who was using the iPad [for learning] last year. I didn’t have anyone that I could really bounce ideas off of.
I met Lisa & David first on-line through Twitter, reading their blogs …
just-in-time,differentiated support;
for her needs
I needed that on-line community.” – Lisa
![Page 13: Self-directed teacher inquiry in technology integration: Exploring the dynamics of synchronous and asynchronous collaborative teacher learning](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022060123/55978c261a28ab551e8b457b/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
“There needs to be the face-to-face support, the on-line support, and you need to have communities.” - Lisa
Now, when we arrive, the conversations continue because we are all on[line] sharing… follow[ing each other’s] thinking… when we meet now, it’s just to pick up on our last tweet [Twitter] and go forward with our planning.”
Lisa’s context
“Two years ago, none of us [face-to-face colleagues] were on[line]. We were craving our face-to-face meetings. We’d get together & it’d just be talk, talk, talk, talk, talk. We wouldn’t actually accomplish as much in our meetings because we would have all these other questions to share and ask…

Shared beliefs and practices
• Build and maintain professional relationships with both face-to-face and on-line peers
• Different environments/networks
Self-directed inquiry & professional growth using
blended environments

What can we learn from their stories?
![Page 16: Self-directed teacher inquiry in technology integration: Exploring the dynamics of synchronous and asynchronous collaborative teacher learning](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022060123/55978c261a28ab551e8b457b/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
How can we support teachers’ learning (new and experienced alike) in
technology integration?
… comes back to my own inquiry
As researcher As practitioner
