  10. Academic Expectations • College Freshman Political Science Portfolio • 8th Grade Earth Science Wiki • College Freshman Business Class Project Excepted from the Michigan Educational Tech Standards: (http://techplan.edzone.net/METS/METS2009912.pdf) Every high school student will: • 9-12.CI.2. create a web page (e.g., Dreamweaver, iGoogle, Kompozer) • 9-12.TC.6. participate in a virtual environment as a strategy to build 21st century learning skills

  11. Getting Started with One to One Computing • One to one = one netbook to one student • Think of the netbook as a tool much like a textbook, pencil, beaker, map, or calculator • Focus on teaching the curriculum and embed explanations on how to use the netbook into your teaching of your curriculum

  12. Which is better? Today, kids, we are going to learn the basics of how to use Excel spreadsheets. Before we do our lab, we need to spend a day learning Excel. So, open Excel by clicking on… A great tool for keeping track of data for your lab is Excel. Excel is found under the Microsoft Office menu. Have your group use it to set up a data table. If you need help, let me know and I’ll be glad to show you how it works.

  13. What does an OTO classroom look like? • Like this room? • Can be paperless • Can be without textbooks • Collaborative and noisy • Teacher helping students (more coaching, less large group teaching) • Direct instruction is still used, but can be more targeted as in who needs what information

  14. You have 5 minutes to write a paragraph (on any topic.) • Now make a copy your paragraph below the original. • Now use a Thesaurus on your computer and replace at least 5 words in your paragraph • Is the revised paragraph better than the first? Why or why not?

  15. Where do I start?? • How can you encourage students to replace their current tools with technology? • Typing papers • Paperless classroom • Note taking on the computers • Projects • Find a great website to use with your students • What makes a website “great” for educational use? • Build an activity to use that website • Brainstorm activities
