Our main job is to increase the teachers’ ICT skills. However, the teachers of Computer and Science Department are all very good at ICT skills, which is a problem to overcome. At the beginning, I have no idea how to deal with it for their ICT knowledge is even better than most of ours.

Therefore, I began to observe their classes to get some idea of their way of teaching, and I communicated with the teachers to understand their mentality. After a while, I found a phenomenon that the teachers would always show the students how they designed their own PPT or other files, instead of merely showing the contents. Therefore, I decided to change my way of persuading them to join us.

I told them, “because the time was limited for us, so when we finish this program we will leave, other teachers will ask for help from you-teachers from Computer and Science Department teachers. Even though it is sometimes of much trouble, you can help teachers from other department to make it go smoothly.” Then the teachers felt proud of themselves, and accepted my proposal of begging training.

The teacher handled the operations quickly. I also deliberately compared the functions of PPT and Promethean ActivStudio. Before long, some teachers started using ActivStudio sometimes, instead of PPT all the time.

Therefore, we need to reassess the position of the teachers whose ICT skills are excellent. We should first get some idea of what we can give them trough the training, and respect their identity through giving them honor and then create a desire for them to show their merits in technology. Then we can teach them successfully.
