Q: My project is to use FTF PD to teacher teachers to learn blog. Do I need to use CMS or other online technologies?

A: Regardless our project topics, when we design technology-based instructions, we need to keep remember the four components of technology integration. Content, Delivery Technology, Instructional strategies, and Assessment.

Content: Blog

Deliver technology: Consider certain delivery technologies that you can integrate to enhance your FTF instructions.  Certainly delivery technologies can be CMS, any online technologies, computers in the labs etc.

Instructional technologies: In FTF, frequently, we apply lectures.  Lectures are fine.  Consider to apply other effective instructional strategies to enhance your FTF instructional strategy.  For example, with some online technologies or network technologies, frequently we can integrate “online learning community” (we learn in ETC677)  or “open network learning environments” (we learn in ETC647) to enhance our FTF instructions more effective.  Perhaps, after FTF session, target audiences’ learning continue on in online learning community or ONLE.

Assessment: Be sure to assess whether your target audiences learn the content.  Assess whether the integrated delivery technologies effective. Assess integrate instructional strategies.
