Describe a complex problem that you currently face.
I want to integrate many web 2.0 applications into my daily instruction of math, language arts, and reading to 6th graders, but am not allowed to because many of the sites have age 13 minimums, or my administration will not approve these sites (district firewall deems them inappropriate).
How would you begin to model this problem? Listing various roadblocks to my success, listing the desired outcomes if all my desired web 2.0 applications were able to be used, listing ways to negotiate this solution, making a graphic organizer of variables.Who is involved? My 6th grade students, myself, my principal, DEMO office (the administration for technology in my district)
What data is relevant? A list of applicable web 2.0 websites and the specifics of how they apply, engage, and enrich the current curriculum, pre and post surveys from the students.
What might be your goals (for a desired state of affairs)?
For students to be exposed to and learn how to access and use web 2.0 applications that change their learning in an optimal way.What are some possible strategies to reach a solution?
Negotiation, modeling, and demonstration to my principal and DEMO.
Why do you think the problem hasn't been solved yet?
- No one in my district has pushed for it.- Most teachers don't utilize the technology available, or don't even know what web 2.0 applications are.
- Administration has not bought into it, because they haven't seen the results of it.
