Andrei Stoica

2. Overview of
Mary’s
Situation
● Mary is the director of a language school for
20 years now. Tradition has been face to face
contact. However, Mary is now very open to
the idea of synchronous and asynchronous
technologies (eg: email and video chats). She
isn’t confident however.
● She feels even less comfortable making
institutional decisions to implement a wide
scale change
● F2F teachers have not adapted, some know
the basics such as email and cell phones. Small
group of retired teachers who work part time
use classical approach, they helped Mary get
on her feet several years ago - won several
awards - but refuse to teach online.
● Approaches 2 young teachers, Pierre and Joe
who have both agreed to participate in the
pilot program.

3. Breakdown of the Problem
Our focus is on the problem of transitioning from traditional to modern online
education.
Mary and her teachers don’t know and aren’t comfortable with the technology yet.
Mary’s regular staff need to learn how to integrate into today's
world.

classroom are taught from Joe and Pierre

○ Joe and Pierre will then go through
Classroom and Hangouts and how they
are effective learning tools.

teaching methods within google
classroom , gmail and hangouts.
