In my role as a teacher and technology integration coach, while experimenting with technology tools available in my new school's 1-to-1 laptop environment, I try to create some resources that can help my colleagues reflect on their use of technology.
A brief summary of recommendations for teachers looking to transition existing face-to-face practices to a flipped, blended, or completely online mode of instruction:
1. Use technology tools to accomplish everyday teaching tasks, i.e. communicating agenda, and distributing resources.
2. Create a digital trail of your planning and teaching process.
3. Require students to create and submit work digitally (allowing and encouraging them to use tools you may not know).
4. Use archived student work as a teaching tool.
5. Allow student choice about pace and products.
6. Select technology tools with an eye toward flexibility and efficiency.
