From Ms. Cofino comes a fantastic blog entry about her experience using Understanding by Design to work with teachers to do technology infusion. It speaks to the heart of what I’ve always said about technology integration / new literacy… it must go hand in hand with a clearly defined pedagogical practice. The kind of process that Ms. Cofino describes in her writing is exactly the kind of process that allows for deep understanding, both for students and teachers.

Full disclosure: UbD is the curriculum tool we use at SLA to do our planning, and one of the things we’ve identified as something we want to do better next year is using it as a collaboration tool more. This blog entry is a perfect example of how to do it, and it’s one we’ll be reading together as a faculty.
