<span style="color: #961d2f; display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif;">About This Website and the Role of the Coach
<span style="display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif;">On this page, you will find a plethora of information and resources for you as you venture into 21st Century Teaching. Please remember, as a CFF Coach, it is my job to help you incorporate new technologies into your curriculum, so please let me know HOW I can help you! If you see anything on this page or any of its links that interests you, let me know! I can help you implement it into your classroom.

<span style="display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; text-align: center;"> To put it simply...I AM HERE TO HELP YOU!!! <span style="display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; text-align: center;"> Contact me at halter@ht-sd.org or extension 1066.

<span style="display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; text-align: center;">

<span style="color: #971d1c; display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif;">Some ways you might "use" me:

 * **<span style="color: #f7891d; display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif;">Generate Ideas and Curriculum Connections **<span style="color: #2d0a7f; display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif;">--Not sure where to start? Invite me into your classroom just to watch you teach. This will get "the wheels turning" and I can begin to identify technologies that will fit your teaching style and connect with your curriculum.


 * <span style="color: #f27118; display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif;">**Co-Plan**-- <span style="color: #12078d; display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif;">let me help you plan lessons that incorporate technology. If you're not sure how technology might benefit your students or enhance a lesson, I can do the research and bring you some suggestions. I can help you identify what will work, help you learn how to use it, and then help set up a lesson or unit plan.


 * **<span style="color: #f5730a; display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif;">Research-- **<span style="color: #2d0a7f; display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif;">Curious about a new technology you've read about or how technology might enhance a concept in your curriculum? Wondering how you might spice up a lesson, but short on time to find new ideas? Let me do the research for you. I have access to technology facilitators all around the country and tons of ideas from teachers around the globe. I can compare different approaches, troubleshoot, work out the kinks, and bring you the best options for your classroom.


 * <span style="color: #eb5c0f; display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif;">**Co-Teach-**- <span style="color: #2d0a7f; display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif;">After co-planning a lesson, I can help you in the classroom. It always helps to have an extra teacher in the room when using technology. I can teach part of the lesson, instruct students on the use of technologies, or just be there for support as needed.


 * <span style="color: #f75508; display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif;">**Personal Training-**- <span style="color: #2d0a7f; display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif;">Want some help with designing a Wiki, making your flipcharts more interactive, using response devices, learning a software program?

=Where do you fall in this diagram?= <span style="display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif;">Taken from [] This diagram is an interesting way to assess your 21st Century Teaching. According to their website, "Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) attempts to capture some of the essential qualities of required by teachers for technology integration in their teaching, while addressing the complex, multifaceted and situated nature of teacher knowledge. At the heart of the TPACK framework, is the complex interplay of three primary forms of knowledge: Content (CK), Pedagogy (PK), and Technology (TK)."
