Has been very little change in traditional pedagogy, despite the large intrusion of technology

Questions they are asking at Sedgwick High School:
- does it really make a difference?
- do students really want to come to school?
- do teachers teach differently?
- are students excited about learning?
- does it help to install the love of lifelong learning?
- does discipline go down?
- do test scores and attendance go up?

The answers are all YES

Schools don’t want technology, schools want learning
- technology can be the means to that learning
- the technology is not and should not be the focus

Mike: we decided initial training would not be nuts and bolts
- rest was: how do you teach data collection and analysis with spreadsheets
- now we have regional content meetings
- we get people early to share their issues and concerns, and then shape the presentations by the end of the day focused on those issues
- are working with the principals to make more embedded training as part of the staff day (quick skill shops)

Other contexts: have mentor teachers to provide just-in-time support to balance pullout training
- this seems to balance training well
- having 1 mentor teacher per school
