  10. Work with someone sitting near you to match the quotations with who said them. Write the letter of who said the quote next to the quotation. Who Said This?

  11. Who Said This? Students today depend on paper too much. They don’t know how to write on a slate without getting chalk dust all over themselves. They can’t clean a slate properly. What will they do when they run out of paper? A. Principal’s Association 1815

  12. Who Said This? You can’t use those calculators on the test. If I let you do that, you wouldn’t ever learn how to use the tables in the back of the book and use interpolation to figure out your trig ratios. C. High School Teacher 1980

  13. Who Said This? We can’t let them use calculators in middle school. If we do, they’ll forget how to do long division or how to multiply three digit numbers by three digit numbers. What will they do when they don’t have access to a calculator? J. Middle School Teacher 1989

  14. Who Said This? Why would you ever want the Internet for student use? It’s just the latest fad – have them use the library. D. District Employee 1985

  15. Who Said This? Why do you want network drops at every teacher’s desk? You’re not thinking of getting a computer for all of them are you? F. Director of Technology 1999

  16. Who Said This? Students today depend on these expensive fountain pens. They can no longer write with a straight pen and nib. We parents must not allow them to wallow in such luxury to the detriment of learning how to cope in the real business world which is not so extravagant. B. PTA Gazette 1941

  17. Who Said This? Why are we talking about students having laptops in high school? I don’t think most parents will even give their kids their old computer, much less buy them a new one. G. Member of Laptop Committee 2000

  18. Who Said This? I don’t think we’ll have wireless networks in schools anytime soon. H. Building Administrator Spring 2005

  19. Who Said This? Students today depend too much upon ink. They don’t know how to use a pen knife to sharpen a pencil. Pen and ink will never replace the pencil. E. National Association of Teachers 1907

  20. Who Said This? Turn off and put away all Cell Phones, iPods, and Electronic Devices during class! I. Student Handbook Fall 2006

  21. Who Said This? Pair Share Turn to your elbow partner and share the quote that surprised you the most and WHY.

  22. What do YOU think? Are teachers changing as quickly as their students?

  23. OR • Gifted kids are easy to identify. • Gifted kids come in all colors, ages, sizes and shapes. • Gifted kids can be identified in all content areas. • The gifted child today is the gifted child of tomorrow.

  24. OR • Gifted children can change the way society thinks, feels, and functions. • Children and their exposure to technology changes how they think, act, and react in and out of the classroom. • Children and their exposure to technology should change how teachers plan, teach, and assess.

  25. We need a paradigm shift. Student Centered • Teachers facilitating the learning • Real world learning in the community • Problem based learning, solving real world problems • Links between businesses and communities • Technology as an integral part of education Teacher Centered • Standardized curriculum • Focus on text-driven curriculum • Large group instruction • Classroom-based learning • Students learning isolated facts • Technology used in isolation

  26. We cannot change how we teach until we change how we think, and we cannot change how we think until we change what we believe.

  27. DifferentiationTargetingDifferentiation

  28. CONGRATULATIONS!You have won $100.00! You can spend it on ANY recreational activity that you enjoy! • Sports • Culture • Shopping • Dining • ??? Take a few minutes to decide how you would spend $100.

  29. How did you spend it?? Think about the importance learners’ interests play in motivating learning.

  30. What IS differentiation? Differentiated instruction is an approach to teaching and learning for students of differing abilities in the same class. The intent of differentiating instruction is to maximize each student’s growth and individual success by meeting each student where he or she is, and assisting in the learning process.

  31. Differentiation in a Nutshell Differentiation: the act of modifying content, process, product, and/or environment to meet your learners’ needs.

  32. Is it REALLY differentiation? • SHOULD all students do it? • COULD all students do it? • WOULD all students want to do it? IF the answer to ANY of these question is “yes,”then it ISN’T DIFFERENTIATED.
