Simon McIntyre replied to Stacy's discussion Motivate Teachers"I agree with what you have said here about focusing energies on those willing to try something new. We had several cases where many teachers refused to even consider online learning, and thought it was a second rate, money saving and lazy way of…"
John Sowash replied to Stacy's discussion Motivate Teachers"Hi Stacy,
I wouldn't focus your energy on the reluctant teachers, I would focus it on the ones who are eager to try new things and lead the charge. Research has shown that no matter how good the idea, how helpful the training, and how…"
Jason Graham replied to Stacy's discussion Motivate Teachers"Hi Stacy
If possible have any training or orientation inside school hours. At our school our IT Coordinator runs 2 drop in lunch sessions weekly with anything ranging from Moodle to Voiucethread. Other teachers have also ran these non mandatory…"
Stacy replied to Stacy's discussion Motivate Teachers"Thanks for all the replies! I especially like the idea of the lunch and learn.

Luckily we do have some staff very interested in changing how they teach and doing what they can to work new skills into their teaching, and the administration is very much behind this…"
