  1. Technology and ELA Technology in the English/Language Arts Classroom Ayo Jones Participants: Log On To Computer Access www.tinyurl.com/Tech-N-ELA Open a new browser window. Access www.Socrative.com and enter classroom number ______

  2. ELA Curriculum and You In this training, participants will learn new ways to use the curriculum, integrate technology, and differentiate for multi-abled learners.

  3. Learning Objective 1) When presented with a sample writing activity, participants will use a Forum accurately by posting a question. 2) When presented with reading strategies videos, training participants will summarize specific strategies, explain a way to use strategies in the classroom, and create a video using Screenr. 3) When presented with a peer questions about ELA in the classroom, training participants will respond to at least one and provide feedback.

  4. Welcome Participants: • Log On To Computer • Access www.tinyurl.com/Tech-N-ELA • Open a new browser window. Access www.Socrative.com and enter classroom number ______ Trainer Introduction Ayo Jones Teacher and Trainer CFISD

  5. Warm Up Participants: 1. Access the Project Share Page and click on “Forums” tab. 2. Post one question you’d like answered from this session. (In the title section, place a generic title like “curriculum”, “planning”, “abilities”, or “help”.)

  6. Warm Up Differentiation: • LEVEL 1- Will work on typing their name (hand over hand help). • If your level 1 student cannot access computers for behavioral or accessibility reasons, students can use paper & pencil, assistive, or augmentive tools. • LEVEL 2- Will type their name, the date, and the prompt. (Letter recognition, keyboard practice, and simple sentence. ) • If your level 2 student cannot write a simple sentence, do so with assistive tools (like word lists, vocabulary communication boards, or dictation tools). • LEVEL 3- Will type their name, the date, and the prompt. (Expected to write 3-5 on topic sentences.) • If your level 3 student is able to, write a paragraph with topic sentence, supporting details, and closing sentence (may need graphic organizer). • ALL STUDENTS should check for periods and capital letters & read what they wrote before time is up. When time is up, each student will read their prompt aloud to share. Those that were unable to compose sentences will respond with a communication board, voice output device, or verbally stating the answer to the question. This can be done as with the Cooperative Learning rally structure.

  7. Quick Check Participants: • Click over to your Socrative Page. How comfortable do you feel using a forum on a scale of 1-5? (5 is no idea and 1 is I’ve got this) 2. Second Question: Do you plan on using this tool back in the classroom? (Yes or no)

  8. Communication Boards Low Tech: Non-Writers • Image matching Cut one board into squares, Put second board in a sleeve. Student will match image to “mat” board in sleeve. • Letter Matching Cut one board into squares. Have alphabet cards, letters, or manipulative. Student will match letters to build word on card – Can write/type word once spelled. • Sorting Cut one board into squares. Pull squares as needed. Student will sort by letter, noun/verb, or related grouping.

  9. Communication Boards Low Tech: Writers • Sentence Writing Students will write sentences using the vocabulary words. • Story Building Students will write a story using the spelling words. If able, students can write a story or recap the chapter. • Sorting Cut one board into squares. Pull squares as needed. Student will sort by noun/verb or alphabetize the words. Students can also use letters to spell the words to solidify spelling skills.

  10. Smartboard Integration Word Generator • Students can read words spit out. • Students can spell the words as they appear. • Students can write or say a sentence with the word. • Students can give a meaning to the word. • Teacher can discuss the word and what it means. • Students can spell out the words with manipulative pieces. • Students can locate the word on the Comm Board. • Students can find the picture card to match the word (cut the comm board into squares, but cut OFF the word).

  11. Smartboard Integration Image Select • Students come up and stop the images. • Student can read all the choices. • Student can play the ‘teacher’ and call on a student to select the answer. • Teacher can ask student to find all the comm board squares that match the choices to participate from their seat. • Student can read all the choices before picking their answer. • Student can use the word in a sentence before selecting answer..

  12. Smartboard Integration Random Word Chooser • Students come up and spin. • Student can read the word. • Students can spell the word. • Student can use it in a sentence. • Student can play the ‘teacher’ and call on a student to spell or read. • Teacher can ask student to find all the comm board squares that match the choices to participate from their seat. • Teacher can ask student to make a sentence and spin more than once to select words.

  13. Smartboard Integration Fridge Magnets • Students come up and spell words. • Students can work with letter id. • Student can work with phonic sounds. • Teacher can demonstrate word endings and practice blending. • Teacher can use this as a hands on ‘practice’ spelling test. Upper Level 2 or 3 students: can take a spelling test on Spelling City.

  14. COWs & Spelling Spelling City • Students can log into the spelling city page found at www.spellingcity.com/ajones1509 • Upper Level 2 and Level 3 students can take the spelling test online. • Students can also play the spelling games before or after the test. • Struggling students can use the Comm Board while they take the test (this can reinforce the student’s word identification skills).
