3. Think/Pair/Share • Salsa Lineup • Share one story about how you used what you learned from our previous 2 days together • Share the good, the bad, and the ugly

4. Back Channel & Review • Review the Back Channel • Obtain your assignment for a T/P/S • Share out tools and uses to support the category

5. Day 3 Agenda

6. Key Working Agreements • Respect confidentiality • Share airtime • Keep sidebars to a minimum • Respect start, breaks, and end times • If it rings, dings, or sings – put it on vibrate or silent

7. Learning ObjectivesDay Three By the end of the learning session, we will: • Know the categories of strategies that comprise the component of Helping Students Extend and Apply Knowledge, • Understand the classroom recommendations for each of the strategies, • Make connections between and among the strategies, and the technology tools that support them • Transfer the learning into specific changes in your pedagogy that you will apply in the next two weeks.

8. Identifying Similarities & Differences Based on materials found in the text, “Using Technology with Classroom Instruction that Works” and 21things4teachers.net

Framework for Instructional Planning Reinforcing Effort and Providing Recognition Cooperative Learning Setting Objectives and Providing Feedback Cues, Questions, and Advance Organizers Identifying Similarities & Differences Nonlinguistic Representations Summarizing & Note-taking Assigning Homework & Practice

10. Identifying Similarities and Differences • Comparing, classifying, creating metaphors, creating analogies • Ex: Venn Diagrams, word and picture sorts, visual tools or web formats, online interactive games

11. Best Practice: Identifying Similarities & Differences

12. Teacher Directed Notes • Complete the TDN for this strategy after reviewing pages 118-119. • Brainstorm in the workspace a technology tool and lesson idea to support Compare, Classify, Metaphors, and Analogies • Think/Pair/Share the answers

13. Identifying Similarities and Differences • Compare • Classify • Metaphors • Analogies • Good teachers: • Teach ways to identify similarities and differences • Guide students in the process • Provide cues Source: Classroom Instruction that Works, 2nd ed.

14. Tech Tools for these Strategies Identifying Similarities & Differences • Word processing applications • Organizing and Brainstorming software • Data Collection and Analysis • Database and Reference resources UT-CITW, 2nd ed., pg. 12-13; Chapter 8 (183-203).

15. Visual Organizer Tools

16. Hands-On: Using Gliffy for “Comparing” Comparing the characteristics that are unique and shared • Create a Venn Diagram using Gliffy

17. Using Charting/Graphing Tools to “Compare” Data/Trends Graphs and Formulas Column Comparisons Plotting Points Trends for Multiple Years

18. Word Processing Tools

19. Hands-On: Using Word Processing for “Classifying” Create a table for arrangement by class or category • Word or Google Docs • Tables, Flowcharts, Smart Art, Images

20. Hands-On: Using Images and Shapes for “Analogies” A comparison of two things based on their structure or similarity A is to B as C is to D Clipart, Images, and Shapes Hot is to Cold as Night is to _______

21. Hands-On: Using Thinkfinity for “Metaphors” Comparing a situation to a real thing For Example: • Drowning in a sea of grief • Feeling blue • Broken hearted Locate Metaphor worksheets and activities using Thinkfinity
