  1. THE NEW LEARNERPlugged In, Multi-Tasking:How Do you Connect? Kirsten Olson and Karen Langlais MCCPSE Instructional Forum February 5, 2010

  2. Let’s start with you… How do I feel about using technology in my classroom? My experiences with technology have been…

  3. What’s Your Biggest Challenge inTechnology Use? • Any technology we adopt must solve a problem. Otherwise, why use it? • If it’s just cool, that’s nice. But I’m too busy! • They’re on 11 hours a day already. My job to provide something else!

  4. Let’s Ban Chalk Talk http://www.slideshare.net/thecleversheep/lets-ban-chalk-2952833

  5. Technology is changing our ideas about knowledge • Who is authorized to provide? • How is it produced? • Who generates it? • Who’s allowed to say?

  6. “Imagine a world in which every single person on the planet is given free access to the sum of all human knowledge. That’s what we’re doing.” • -Jimmy Wales, founder of Wikipedia

  7. To prepare students, we have to get on board • “New Learners for the New Economy” • Adaptive • Questioning • See patterns • Broad knowledge • Self regulating • Team!

  8. Learning to integrate technology in new ways requires an investment of time, and moving out of our comfort zones. “The most difficult thing I face in teaching teachers to integrate technology is getting them to use technology in new ways. Too many of them want to do the same old thing and just use technology to do it.” (EduTechie.com, July 2009)

  9. Q. How many Wiki people does it take to change a light bulb? 
A. One, but ANYONE can change it back. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-dnL00TdmLY Real collaboration Formative assessment New ways to “research” Student engagement!

  10. Meet Karen, two teachers in one • The good old days….. “Take out a piece of white lined paper” The focus was on TEACHING • Today… “What can students know and do?” The focus is on LEARNING

  11. Why use a wiki?Meet the Magazine Project that started it all….. Newsroom format of the room… • Student collaboration on paper Good days and bad days • Student collaboration on a wiki What is a wiki? Sharing digital space Trust and transparency, anyone? Formative assessment, minute by minute

  12. Fits and Starts • How I got started • What I worried about • How I survived my first wiki project “I get by with a little help from my friends” • When I knew it would be OK, and even great

  13. What I learned about learning • Students become learning resources for each other, on line and in real-time • Students benefit from taking the lead in technology; it’s where they live • Students reach for mastery when writing tasks are authentic and assessable to all

  14. Let’s look at the projects…
