Educational Technology Functions

  • Develop a shared understanding of the impact digital learning has in fostering equitable opportunities for all learners.
  • Empower digital learning best practices through ongoing professional learning opportunities.
  • Incorporate the International Society for Technology Education (ISTE) standards into instructional practice.
  • Build capacity of school ETs as instructional coaches to support teachers with standards-based practices.
  • Collaborate with IT and subject-matter experts to support purposeful digital teaching and learning.

The DoDEA Educational Technology team consists of:

  • 3 HQ educational technology Instructional System Specialists (HQ ET ISSs)
  • 3 Regional Center for Instructional Leadership educational technologists (CIL ETs)
  • A district educational technologist (District ETs) representing every district and the DoDEA Virtual School (DVS)
  • A school educational technologist at every school (School ETs)

 

As an ET community we strive to ensure digital learning is recognized as an essential component of teaching and learning. Our work empowers educators and administrators to promote student agency and ensure that technology can be used to engage, enhance, and extend learning.  We see technology as one of the vital tools to provide students with opportunities to communicate, create, collaborate, and think critically.

The Educational Technologists collaborates with cross functional teams to implement and support the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) Standards for Students, which DoDEA adopted in 2017.
