NOMINATE A KTI STAR!

Principals,

Thank you for taking the time to recognize and applaud the success of ONE of your teachers by nominating him/her to become part of the Keystone Technology Innovator community. As you complete the nomination form, please consider that a Keystone Technology Innovator is someone who embodies the following definition:

What is a Keystone? A Keystone Technology Innovator is a classroom teacher who fully utilizes the many benefits technology offers to improve instructional practices across his/her content areas. In doing this, the teacher does not focus on the technology itself; rather, s/he focuses on student learning and uses technology as a tool to support this end.

This teacher integrates technology into his/her design of learning experiences to:

  • engage students in, and have them interact with, the content
  • assist students in mastering local and state standards
  • foster students’ curiosity, creativity and willingness to take risks
  • engage students in problem-solving activities that are meaningful, reflecting real-world tasks
  • promote collaboration and communication between students
  • encourage students to take ownership of their work and become more self-directed learners
  • address the diverse needs of learners

This teacher is an individual who:

  • facilitates learning rather than transmitting knowledge
  • manages student learning and behavior in a technology-enhanced environment
  • helps students understand the ethical, cultural and societal issues related to technology
  • shares his/her practices with peers and seeks out evidence-based practices from others
  • applies technology in assessing student learning of subject matter
  • reflects on and assesses his/her practices using current research as a framework to improve
  • explores creative ways to use technology as a means of fostering a home-school connection
  • takes an active leadership role in his/her school
