Bude Su & Min Shi
Abstract
Schools in developing countries such as China are faced with many challenges when it comes to K-12 technology integration into classrooms and curricula. The Global Education Model School (GEMS) project aims to help schools overcome these challenges. In this paper we first examine the outcomes of the GEMS program in China, on the basis of which we propose a model for facilitating computer technology integration in K-12 schools China. It is the contribution of this new model to move the emphasis from support of teachers from the international and national levels to teacher collaboration at the school and regional levels. Through the use of technology, communities of teachers can be established, providing an enhanced and more sustainable change management process. The ultimate goal of such an improved change management strategy is to help expand technology integration in China's K-12 classrooms.
