Technology as a Catalyst for School Communities: Beyond Boxes and
Bandwidth tells the story of how three disparate schools handle the
many challenges of integrating technology into their classrooms.
Teachers and administrators alike will share familiar feelings as
they watch the professional learning communities progress toward
the change that makes an enormous difference in how they teach and
learn from each other and their students. This book provides an
attainable approach for educators to create their own communities
of practice for the purposes of school improvement. The case
studies illustrate how administrators and teachers work together to
find solutions to the best ways to integrate technology in the
classroom. In the process, through their collaborative work, they
discover that they learned much more than the technical skills they
first thought would be the focus of their common inquiry. In
creating their communities of practice, the isolation of the
classroom is removed, new ways of thinking and doing are embraced,
and they learn how to learn again. As the teachers reach out to
their peers and students, giving and receiving support in a
cooperative learning endeavor, a new enthusiasm permeates their
schools.
