Highly Effective Teachers Using Technology

My school isn't one of those "7 Habits" schools.  There are schools in our county where that is the one true gospel, but ours isn't one of them.  I do enjoy reading various things connected to those concepts, though, so when I came across this short blog post  from teachthought about 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teachers Who Use Technology, I was intrigued.  Sylvia Duckworth's work has crossed my path a few times, and I always love the way she uses graphics to organize concepts in ways that make sense, and even more so, make you want to read about them.  Check out the way she summarizes this information:

There's so much to love and take in from this, but I especially love the emphasis on an attitude that embraces change and rolls with the punches.  When I was working on my masters degree in Instructional Technology, one of the recurring noted hurdles to any kind of change with regard to tools, technology, or curriculum was teacher resistance to change.  The more flexible we all become, the better we'll be able to muddle through all of the regularly scheduled chaos of a typical day of school.

Just a thought. Check out, let me know what you think in the comments below.  What traits do you see in yourself?  Which habits do you want to work on strengthening?

I'm considering printing this graphic out and posting it in the lab at school. And maybe in the work room.  And maybe giving copies to my teachers. (Too much? Maybe.)

Have a great day, guys. See you soon!
