Literacy and learning. If teachers are to be successful
in integrating technology into the curriculum, they
must be comfortable using technology tools. Ongoing
professional development and support are key in
helping staff develop skills needed to use technology
regularly and well. Instruction may be informal, such as
mentoring by a tech-savvy staff member and providing
a list of Websites with tutorials or lesson plans that
showcase educational uses of technology. More formal
staff development plans may involve training using
online or computer-based learning modules or a
combination of approaches.
