IMPLIQUER LES ENSEIGNANTS DANS UN PROCESSUS DE DÉVELOPPEMENT PROFESSIONNEL VISANT À INTÉGRER LES TECHNOLOGIES DANS LEUR PRATIQUE: RÉFLEXIONS SUR MON EXPÉRIENCE
Ce texte est une réflexion autobiographique sur une de mes expériences pratiques. Des modèles de développement professionnel sont examinés sur la base de mon expérience sur le terrain auprès d’enseignants possédant des habiletés diverses. Je suggère que les recherches menées par des enseignants constituent un modèle de développement professionnel durable à long terme, puisque authentique pour l’individu et potentiellement transformateur. Le lecteur est invité à réfléchir aux manières dont les leaders technologiques peuvent maximiser le potentiel de classes branchées, en transformant la pratique enseignante.
