Description:
This article considers how teachers’ ability to use technology and the
support they receive impacts the ability to embed the effective use of
technology in an educational institution.
While individuals may succeed in developing strong practice, the
dissemination of that skill through to other classrooms is a complex task. It needs not only the resources infrastructure,
but also the support of administration, opportunities for professional
development and opportunities to share experiences. Sustainability of
innovations is also a concern. If lead
teachers with passion and skills are not celebrated and rewarded, they often
move to a different school where they can further develop their skills. The use of a Personal Learning Portal is suggested as a means to
record the learning journey of teachers.
Impact :
Implementing effective e-learning as part of teacher professional
development can enhance the learning opportunities of staff. This can allow teachers to co-produce
knowledge and lead their own development.
