Digital Kids • We are teaching a digital generation • Hypercommunicators • Multitaskers • Goal Oriented • http://www.apple.com/education/digitalkids/
Disconnect . . . • From the National Center for Educational Statistics & www.apple.com
Agenda for Aug. 8-9 • Tying It All Together . . . . • Lesson Planning • High Quality – district rubrics • Standards-Based • Use TechPaths • Marzano’s Instructional Strategies • Research-based • Proven to improve learning • Technology Integration • New K-12 Technology Standards • All grade levels & all content areas
TechPaths – New Features • Fonts • Color • Style (bold, italic) • Drag & drop elements • From unit to unit • From course to course • 4 methods of assessment • Export for parent/student use
TechPaths - Refreshers • Rollover • Managing Units & Sub Units • Quick Create • Dividing a unit into sub units • Content standards • Indicators (end in 0) • Alignment of standards • Unpacked standards
Rubric for TechPaths Lesson Plans • Objectives tab • Activities tab • Resources tab • Differentiation tab • Notes tab
Lesson Plan Specifics • Set the stage/anticipatory set/bell ringer • Teaching/modeling • Guided Practice • Closure • Where does “homework” fit in? • Where does technology integration fit in?
Marzano’s Instructional Strategies • Identifying Similarities and Differences • Summarizing and Note Taking • Reinforcing Effort and Providing Recognition • Homework and Practice • Nonlinguistic Representations • Cooperative Learning • Setting Objectives and Providing Feedback • Generating and Testing Hypotheses • Cues, Questions, and Advance Organizers
Lesson Plans + Marzano Strategies + Technology Integration • Incorporate these research-based strategies into the lesson plans as you build them • Be deliberate in their use • Connect to your content standards • Can you use technology to model? • Can your students use technology to demonstrate knowledge?
Setting Objectives and Providing Feedback • Objectives need to be • Your learning target • Clearly articulated to students • Identified prior to lesson, unit • Feedback must be • Timely!!!!! • Descriptive • Helps the student know what is right • Helps the student know what to improve
Feedback? . . . Use Digital Inking • Windows Journal • Open any document you can print to paper • Ink & save, share, print • Microsoft OneNote • Handwrite or type • Insert graphics • Insert hyperlinks • Office 2003 or newer • Digital ink annotations
SD K-12 Technology Standards • “In the Fall of 2007 South Dakota will be required to report how many students in the state of South Dakota have been determined technologically literate by the end of eighth grade.” • NEW standards document – approved in July 2007 • http://doe.sd.gov/contentstandards/NCLB/index.asp • Standards document • Blog • Wikispace for posting examples & resources • Not intended to “stand alone” – but be integrated into all content areas
Who will teach tech standards? • Everyone – at all grade levels & all content areas!! • “While standards are the core that all students should learn and master, teachers will expand upon these standards and introduce related topics to students in the course of instruction.” • “Teachers who teach classes in the specific areas of technology (i.e. Technology Education or Computer Applications) will buildon the foundational concept of these standards.”
Tech Standards + Content Areas • New Tech Standards are tied closely with existing content area standards • Example – Information Literacy is critical to • Knowledge in ALL content areas • Problem solving/decision making • “real world” work • Example – Social Interaction & Ethics are • Critical for the safety of our students • Cyber bullying • Identity theft
Day 1 Tasks • Begin writing your 15 lesson plans in TechPaths • Consider our “Digital Kids” • Examine your tech standards for possibilities • Focus on the plan • What should your students UNDERSTAND, KNOW, and be able to DO? • What skills match your selected standards? • Have you truly assessed those skills? • Don’t allow your textbook to DRIVE the lesson plan!
Integrating Technology • Teachers . . . • Modeling • Presenting information • Feedback/communication • Assessing • Students . . . • Problem solving • Demonstrating knowledge • Self assessing • Communicating
