  3. National Educational Technology Standards for Students

  4. Ready or Not . . .The World is Different

  5. How we work

  6. How we work

  7. "Knowing content" is not sufficient in itself -- knowledge to: rather, students must apply • construct new understandings, • solve problems •  make decisions • develop products and • communicate Technology can facilitate this type of learning

  8. Our Vision • Students will use technology seamlessly as a regular part of their education • Each student will come to class with their own computing device • All of the computing devices will be interconnected • Teachers and Students will have the skills necessary to appropriately use the Hardware and Software

  9. Pedagogical Foundations • Curriculum must drive the need for technology integration • Technology is simply the tool used to facilitate student-centered learning • Technology makes it easier to accomplish • Taxonomy of Technology Use1 • Experiencing • Informing • Reinforcing • Integrating • Utilizing 1 Thomas and Boysen, Iowa State University, 1984

  10. The Newer Technologies • Wikispaces • Podcasting • Blogging • Making Movies (in a Class Period) • Web 2.0 Tools • Word Processing / Spreadsheets • Lots of Extras • Bonus Web 2.0 Tools • Blabberize, VoiceThread, Animoto, Google Earth

  11. Integrating Tools What you need Our Websites Jing / iSquint Audacity / Podcasting iMovie / Videocasting Print to PDF Inspiration / Mindomo Peripheral Devices Interactive Whiteboard Blogging Integrating Projects What our students do A week in the life… Chemical Reactions Portfolios PowerPoint iWeb Digital Storytelling Virtual Labs Inspiring Projects Integrating Technology

  12. Our Websites Purpose • Provide students with access to: • Grades • Labs/Activities • Online Resources • Class Notes and Answer Keys Sites • Jared’s Site • Ben’s Site

  13. Screen / Video Capture • Snapz Pro X (OS X)/Camtasia (XP) • Tutorials for Programs • Instructions for Handouts • Applications • Reference resources • Videocast using iTunes

  14. iMovie / VideoCasting • Teacher Use • Using digital video to capture lessons, demonstrations, etc. • Student Use • Students report laboratory findings through digital video production

  15. Print to PDF • Mac OS X: Print…Save as PDF • Win XP: PrimoPDF (www.primopdf.com) • Create Read-Only documents from Word, PowerPoint, etc.

  16. Inspiring Projects • Mind-mapping/Brainstorming software • Student Use • Map Out Projects • Link terms and concepts from lessons • Example 1 • Example 2

  17. Peripheral Devices • Digital Camera • Scanner • Digital Camcorder • Wireless Slate

  18. Interactive Whiteboard • Demonstrate programs prior to allowing student use • Create and archive all board notes and lessons • Sample

  19. A Week in the Life… • Students keep a written and digital record for each week of class • iWeb • Blogging

  20. Portfolio - PowerPoint • Students create digital media • Portfolio allows them to reflect upon their work and demonstrate exemplary projects • Student Example

  21. Portfolio - iWeb • Students create websites using easy web authoring software • Websites demonstrate exemplary work and post to district website

  22. Current Projects • Chemical Reactions Project • Students create a video and photo presentation of a type of chemical reaction, analyze the stoichiometry of the reaction, and create a presentation to communicate their results. • Web Video Project • Students create a video of an example of motion, analyze the motion, and create a website to communicate their findings.

  23. Science Probes • Vernier and Pasco probeware used to collect and plot data

  24. BlackBoard • Discussion Boards • Chats • Digital Dropbox • Assignments • Chats

  25. Podcasting / Movies • Homework Help • Explanation of Solutions • Hints on Labs / Activities • Student Advice
