OPSRC provides consulting and professional development services in this constantly changing area. Our technology staff can assist with members’ issues at both the district and classroom level. Through Tech Talks and Tech Titans, we have an expanding library of efficient training on today’s most popular classroom tools and most pertinent EdTech topics.

Technology StandardsISTE Standards provide informative, clear, and measurable targets for technology skills, knowledge, and attitudes.
-
Tech Integration ModelsThe SAMR Model focuses on analyzing and encouraging deeper levels of student-led and engaged activities. The TPACK Framework prioritizes selecting appropriate technology tools to support content and pedagogical needs. The Technology Integration Matrix (TIM) examines the intersection of five interdependent characteristics of meaningful learning environments (active, collaborative, constructive, authentic, and goal-directed) with five levels of technology integration (entry, adoption, adaptation, infusion, and transformation).
-
Special Interest TopicsThese Tech Talks are in-depth explorations of education subjects with respect to how applying academic technology can enable, augment, and transform learning experiences. We hope they spark discussions, encourage sharing of resources, and introduce you to new ways of thinking about how students learn and grow. If you have a suggestion for a topic that you would like us to cover in a future Tech Talk, use the "Suggest" button above to send us a note.

Individual Tech ToolsWe have created videos on individual tools that can be used with any of the tech integration models listed above to meet ISTE Standards. If you have a suggestion for a tool you would like us to explain in a future Tech Talk, use the "Suggest" button above to send us a note.
