How Can I find the Right Answer? This project will help my students develop 21st century skills by: • Using digital technology, communication tools and/or networks appropriately student to access, manage, integrate, evaluate, and create information • Using technology as a tool to research, organize, evaluate and communicate information • Identifying and asking significant questions that clarify various points of view and lead to better solutions • Framing, analyzing and synthesizing information in order to solve problems and answer questions • Communicating with others through a blog.
Gauging Student Needs Assessment • Purpose of the Assessment • To gather information about what students already know and what they wonder about other forms of technology • What I want to learn from my students? • I want to find out what technology and research skills they already possess. • How I have tried to promote higher-order thinking? • I ask students to find relationships and draw conclusions about the tools and skills they already possess and how they can transfer those tools and skills to research • How the assessment information helps me and my students plan for upcoming activities in the unit? • We will revisit this assessment throughout the unit for students to add to their knowledge. • What feedback or additional ideas I’d like? • I would like help on my research topic. I need to elicit more higher-order thinking, involving a riveting topic, but I’m not sure howto find that topic.
My Goals for the Course • Find ways to get my students more interested in research that is based on authentic sources • Learn about the various technology my students and I can use • Share ideas with other teachers
Goals for My Students • To learn how to adapt the skills and tools they already possess to access, evaluate, and use information available in the digital world. • To become more independent learners
Request for Feedback • Where I can find topics interesting enough to motivate students to delve into authentic research • Ideas for helping students take more responsibility for their own learning
