למידה, אינטרנט ... ומה שביניהם

I have a couple of simple "elevator pitch" descriptions that I often use to tell people what my job involves...

• "I look at the stuff kids are supposed to learn in school and help teachers figure out where technology can help make that learning richer and more meaningful."
• "I look at technology and curriculum and try to mash them together so that learning becomes more relevant and interesting."
• "I help combine technology that changes all the time, with schools that don't."

As an ICT Integrator you create an important interface between the teaching staff and the technical staff in a school. Each of these groups seems to think the others are obstructionists who just don’t understand what truly matters, so you need to be able to straddle both worlds and act as the interface between them. Integrators need to be able to talk tech and mean it. Although the people who speak all the technical mumbo jumbo are critically important in a school, for god’s sake don’t let them make curriculum decisions!
