Designed for technology leaders, integrators, grade-level leaders and subject heads of department.
The ISTE technology standards for students are a powerful lens through which to frame technology integration activities. It takes many years of experience for curriculum leaders to comprehensively develop and map innovative learning experiences to these standards. Consilience offers global experience in this area along with the know-how to avoid common pitfalls and wasted time.
This service is designed for grade-level or subject teams with 4 to 5 days of full-day group training that will yield transformative learning engagements using technology.
Learning engagements that promote deeper learning use technology to encourage higher-level thinking, problem-solving, and collaboration and empower learners to make valuable contributions to their classrooms, community, and other online environments. We provide support in helping teams design these transformative experiences.

A school’s technology plan must be grounded in an adaptive and agile strategic vision that is able to respond to shifting trends in learning technologies while remaining grounded in a coherent mission and vision aligned with the goals of the school. Creating this vision and building this plan is complex work that requires expert guidance and support from experienced practitioners.
Empower your team to finally gather solid data on the extent and level of rigor of technology integration at your school.
In considering the value that technology can add to learning, it is important to curate and examine student artefacts over time. This can be done using the ISTE Student Standards and Bloom’s Digital
Taxonomy. A visual data engine will assist educators and schools in analysis and decision making. Walkthroughs and self-audits by teachers can also provide valuable insights.
