CHALLENGES FOR TEACHER DEVELOPMENT
• Using learning technology to supplement rather than transform learning and teaching practices
• Lack of time to devote to pedagogy
• Lack of time to reflect on learning and teaching practice.
• Lack of confidence to change learning and teaching practices.
• Need for practitioner case studies to inspire others (Project on Transforming Student Experience via Pedagogy, JISC, 05-07)
(Diana, 2011)
DIFFICULTIES FOR TEACHER
Many studies of educational innovation have
concluded that the key factors needed to
change teacher behaviour are• additional time, • additional training, • cultural change, • senior staff involvement, • a link to personal reward
(Diana, 2011)

WHAT TO DO?Top-down - Strategies and policies? – Rhetoric is good, but no
follow-throughBottom-up – Technology will drive innovation? Users will discover
solutions for themselves? the Market will provide? – Activity is plentiful, but not improving
Alternative approach – Middle-out:- Learn from the scholarship of innovation
- Adaptive iteration: top middle bottom
- Trust the professionals
Focus on supporting teachers as collaborating innovators
Give them a Learning Design Support Environment
(Diana, 2011)
HOW TO ACHIEVE TEACHER’S ROLE
1. Leading peer review processes for their schools to ensure that teaching evaluations are valid and drive improvement;2. Developing tools and strategies for teaching the Googled learner who has grown up experiencing virtual reality;3. Taking part in assessment reforms such as those linked to the new Common Core standards, and using technology to better capture, analyze, and publicize data about schools’ effectiveness;4. Identifying effective strategies for teaching students who are increasingly diverse ;5. Organizing school-neighborhood partnerships that can support student learning through cradle-to-college solutions; and6. Transforming unions so that they become self-policing professional guilds that help ensure the quality of teaching that students deserve.

Building on the work of others• Import existing ‘pedagogical patterns’ of good teaching• Search for OER ‘content resources’ to populate the patterns• Adapt to own context – Test – Redesign – Re-test - Publish
Expanding knowledge of using TEL• Offer TEL versions of conventional designs• Model pedagogical and logistical benefits/disadvantages
MeansA microworld for teachers to adopt, adapt, test in theory, experiment, test in practice, redesign,
and share designs
Supported by a learning design ontology, structured pedagogical (Diana, 2011)
