  1. REGIONAL EDUCATIONAL LAB ~ APPALACHIA The Effects of Kentucky Virtual High School’s Hybrid Course in Algebra I on Teaching Practices, Classroom Quality, and Adolescent Learning On-Line Collaboration August, 2008 Series Creating a Community of Learners & Analyzing Tracking Tools

  2. GOALS FOR ON-LINE COLLABORATION • On-line Collaboration using Horizon Wimba: • Share teaching strategies/resources, • Discuss planning instruction, • Analyze student work, • Share formative and summative assessment instruments/strategies that move learning forward, • Provide instructional structures where “feedback is focused on how students can improve related to learning goals,” • Others as defined by teachers and as need to address issues in the field – including new learning that promotes student achievement.

  3. Nuts and Bolts • Technology Issues • Control Panel Hints • Student Enrollment • Over 700 students in Hybrid Algebra courses alone. These are great numbers so far, and they are still coming in!  • On another note, some of our other schools using us for Hybrid/Blended learning started submitting their enrollments this week- 90 students enrolled in blended learning courses with another 50 for -------- County.  These are great numbers for it still being mid-August! • Research Teachers Schedules • Calendar Changes • Summer Stipends

  4. Hybrid Algebra Wiki • Hybrid Algebra Wiki • How do we access our wiki? http://hybridalgebra.wikispaces.com/ • Adding a link in the wiki (see attached PP)

  5. Planning Approach • View Lesson • Take notes • Make Connections • Observations • Note stopping points • Key understandings • Questions • What prompts can you put into TT to help students capture those notes? • Is your TT more than just sample homework problems?

  6. Discussions of Lessons • Access the Tracking Tool for your specified Lesson • Use one that you created, or • Access the associated one on the wiki. • Discuss key concepts supported through the Tracking Tool; Scaffoldng versus open-ended questions; DOK level; suggestions/additions. • How will you support the use of the TT in your classroom? (Modeling? Think aloud? Follow-up/next steps?)

  7. Share-out of Lessons Discussion Report specifics to whole group regarding: • Changes to the TT or other versions that have already been developed (we will post to the wiki) • Key concepts embedded in the TT • What are ways you will support student use of the TT in follow-up lessons/assignments?

  8. SHARING STRATEGIES, PROCESSES, & STRUCTURES (continued) • Formative or Summative Assessments Created and Used • Instructional Issues or Barriers You Are Facing or Encountering • Shared Experiences and/or Suggestions from Colleagues (Community of Learners) • Processes, Structures, and/or Lessons that Promote Student Achievement • Others

  9. REMINDERS • Office Hours: Monday & Tuesday’s • Support: • Kari S.
