  1. Intel Essentials Workshop Shanee Cowland & Frank Kelly

  2. What we discussed • Project based learning • Tools and that can assist learning • The use of essential questions, unit questions and lesson questions • Blogs, wiki, Edmodo and other collaborative websites

  3. Workshop Goal • Goal was to design a Unit plan • Essentially an Interdisciplinary Unit • Our chosen interdisciplinary unit idea was based around ‘Technology and Learning’ • ‘Technology’s role in Collaborative learning’ Visual Representation of the Internet

  4. Things to possibly cover during the unit • How can you search more effectively? • What are the best search engines? • How can you tell that a website is biased? • How can you tell if an author is a credible source? • Why and how can I publish work to exhibit it? • How can I incorporate multimedia? • How can you share information from anywhere? • What can I use to support my learning online? • How can I do labs that are to dangerous to actually do? • How can I visit places that I cant actually visit? • How can I neatly present work in a number of different formats?

  5. Why we thought this would be useful • Explicitly teach correct use of technology • Help inform students and teachers of web resources that are available • Help students discern between biased and factual information • Increase technology literacy throughout the school • Use technical resources for data analysis and presentation of information • Producing credible and well formatted documentation

  6. Aspects of the internet research • Advanced use of search engines • Student focused search • Ways to find credible sources • Bias and how to spot it • Distinguishing between facts and opinions

  7. Web Based Search Tools • Google Advanced Search • Narrow down results by including and excluding terms. • Sweet Search • Google based, academically filtered search • Finding Dulcinea • Organize articles for use by students.

  8. Web Based Tools • Google Docs • Alternative to MS Office that allows resources to be shared • You Tube • & You Tube for schools, multimedia video that can be created and viewed • Khan Academy • Mathematics, science, economics and other subject topics explained in concise snippet videos as well as practicing math skills • Skype • Collaboration via text, audio and video

  9. More Web Based Tools • PhET Virtual Labs • Science and Math simulations that students can manipulate • Virtual tours of museums and • Visits to museums all over the world including the Louvre. • Animoto • Multimedia presentations that are more exciting than PowerPoint! • Google Hangout • Screen share, Video conference and document sharing • Library of congress • Interactive website with lesson plans and standards • Survey Monkey • Hold little online ‘surveys’

  10. Intel Educational Resources • Visual Ranking Tool • Allow students to review lists of information and prioritize, then compare • See Reason Tool • Cause and effect flow chart generator • Show Evidence Tool • Allows students to list arguments, organize them into positive and negative and write a thesis based on your arguments. • Assessing Projects Tool • Tool for teachers to generate and use rubrics – that are customizable • It’s a wild ride • Roller coaster design project • The Journey Inside • Interactive lessons about the technology.

  11. (Some of the) Core Standards that are Addressed • CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RST.11-12.7 • CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RH.6-9=8.7  Integrate visual information (e.g., in charts, graphs, photographs, videos, or maps) with other information in print and digital texts. • CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RI.11-12.7 Integrate and evaluate multiple sources of information presented in different media or formats (e.g., visually, quantitatively) as well as in words in order to address a question or solve a problem. Integrate and evaluate multiple sources of information presented in diverse formats and media (e.g., quantitative data, video, multimedia) in order to address a question or solve a problem.

  12. (Optional) Assessment Prompts • Can students research and evaluate the credibility of authors? • Do students know the meaning of bias and can they recognize it in a web based document? • Can students recognize why commercial websites are less credible than academic or government websites? • Do students know how to validate information on Wikipedia?

  13. (Optional) Assessment Prompts II • Can students chose appropriate tools for technology based assignments? • Do students know how to and do they collaborate via chat, blogs, Skype and other real time interactions? • Can students make, find and use multimedia to present work created.
