Context • Remember modern teaching is not about the device (or even the tools). • It is about the NEW ASK (i.e., how do we prepare students to be globally competitive in the world they grow into in 2030)? • In the conceptual age, citizens need to be innovative thinkers, creators, and entrepreneurs. • Education needs to become more inquiry-based and student- centered. • Blended learning makes this transformation achievable.

  25. Notes • Keep your device safe. Report theft to the police within two days. • When you close the lid, it goes to sleep. At the end of each day, shutdown and recharge it. • If the battery comes loose, turn it over, unlock the battery, reseed it, and relock it.

  26. Teachers can add lessons and digital resources by student or by group

  27. May Do • If you wish, set Chrome as your default browser. • Explore the great instructional resources from Discovery Education at http://bcps.discoveryeducation.com • You can add them your lessons now! • Students can access them with their BCPS username and password  TASK: Find a digital resource for an upcoming lesson.

  28. Path forward • We plan to install printers on the new devices after teachers report in fall. • If you need additional software installed on your device, please put in a ticket at http://vfes.estreamdesk.com/. We also plan to do these installs in the fall as well. • In the fall, DDL will be providing all teacher and students in K-8 with a copy of Wixie (cloud-based version of Pixie) for use at school and home. • When you turn in your existing laptop on the last day of school, please attach the status report form. This form will help us know what (if anything) needs to be repaired on your existing laptop so that it can be repurposed for the Spanish pilot in the fall. A hard copy of the form will be in your snail mail box.

  33. Task: Create a practice assignment. http://bcpsone.bcps.org

  34. Take Away • For grades 3-5, this is not too different conceptually from what you’ve been doing. Andy, Stephanie, and Jess have been part of the pilot and it has been working fine. • For grades 1-2, this is new, but you can customize it to suit what you’ve been doing. • Assignments can be graded or ungraded. • Assignments can be tagged to standards (but they don’t have to be). If you tag by standard, then you and parents can summarize student performance by standard. • Grades are automatically shared with parents unless you mark them ungraded or hidden. • The district has not revised the report card, but it is under review. • Eventually, you can elect to have scores on digital assessments will automatically recorded in the gradebook. • Since the district is paying for Engrade, schools won’t have to pay for Edline.

  35. For Further Information • If you want more tutorials on how to use the grade book, see the one on assignments and scoring and the other on printing and reports.

  36. Questions? • Kathy Benson will be available for an optional Q & A session next Tuesday 6/10 4:00 – 5:00 PM.
