A High-Tech Solution

You want me to integrate technology into my lesson plans? When? How? While teachers keep up with the latest in their subject areas, it’s not easy to become a tech specialist, too.

The solution? Get a Givler.

A Givler will work with you—check out your curriculum and then invite you and your students into a tech lab where an appropriate, integrated lesson awaits. “That’s where the hot jobs are,” says Dave Givler, who does exactly this kind of work at the Arts Impact Middle School in Columbus, Ohio.

At his school, there is no “technology” class. Instead, Givler collaborates with every member of the academic teams, “with the notion that [tech] is absolutely embedded in all of the curricula.”

“Here’s a possibility,” he writes in a recent memo to a social studies colleague. “Each team of students would be responsible for finding out certain facts about a country. Population is good. So is GDP….It would be entered into a database, and then we could have Excel analyze the data.”

As tech literacy is demanded of more people, including your students, the questions are: “How do you get meaningful technology into established schools? How do you make it work?” asks Givler. The answer: Hire somebody like him.
