The Peer Coaching Process 26show them that educational games can be fun. I feel that it's important for students tohave fun while learning.2. Are there any plans you have for future technology integration?Absolutely! I plan to use all of the tools that my coach, Caroline Burdett, showed me,and I plan to come to her throughout the school year when I have a unit or lesson that Ithink could be improved with technology.3. Describe the coaching process from your perspective.Caroline is an excellent coach. She's patient and thorough, two attributes that reallyhelped me see the importance of implementing new technology in my curriculum. I'mthe type of person who loves the idea of using new technology (as I recognize that it trulyis the future of education) but who is intimidated by it. Caroline was able to show menew technological tools that are accessible and fun. She was able to walk me through thesteps of each new type of technology that she showed me. I feel very confident nowabout using new technology in my classroom.4. What this a beneficial way to learn more about using technology?Yes! One-on-one, hands-on instruction is always best!5. What advice would you give others about technology coaching?I would suggest that other coaches walk their "students" through each new piece oftechnology as Caroline did for me. Also, it was very helpful to see how Caroline usedtechnology in her own classroom. When I saw the interactive maps that she madethrough Glogster and the videos that she made through Animoto, I was able to gain aclear picture of how I could adopt these tools for my own curriculum. I think that othercoaches should "model" how they've used the technology themselves.6. How has technology coaching affected your teaching and learning?I am no longer intimidated by it!7. What suggestions do you have for future projects of this type?No suggestions! I think that my coach, Caroline, did an exemplary job.Additional question asked by peer coach:At the beginning, you rated yourself a 4 on a scale of 1-5 for technology skills. (5being the highest.) After participating in this experience, how would you rateyourself now on a scale of 1-5?I would consider myself a 4-4.5 at this point.
