ACR RECOMMENDATIONS

After reviewing and discussing the ACR’s technology section, here are the recommendations that we are suggesting.

The ACR states in Section B, subsection 9.1

'Makes appropriate use of education technology (computers, overhead projector, etc.), learning centers and teaching aids.’ 

Instead of this, the ACR can be hone in on specific areas such as:

1. Makes use of any type of technology during a lesson as a tool of enhancement or assessment.

2. Allows students to participate in the use of technology during the lesson or as an assignment for assessment.

3. Makes an effort to use technology as a communication or record keeping tool.

In order for teachers to be assessed on their use of technology, the administration needs to be knowledgeable on the various types of technology and how the wide array in which they are used. Teacher’s need to provided with opportunity to expand on the requirement of using technology; therefore, our ministry needs to find ways to incorporate technology into our curriculum.
