Vision for the 21st CenturyMath, Technology and Documentation in Kindergarten
By: Emily Klimchuk (Rodgers)
21st Century LearnersAccording to NCTE (2013),
students must:◦“develop proficiency with the tools of
technology”◦“create, critique, analyze and
evaluate multimedia texts”
21st Century Learners
Will Richardson and the 21st Century
Students must :◦ask questions◦work with others to find answers ◦do real work for real audiences◦add to the storehouse of knowledge
that the web is becoming (2012, 61)
Digital LiteracyBC Digital Literacy Standards
◦Illustrate and communicate original ideas using digital tools
◦Engage in learning activities from multiple cultures through email and electronic means
Assessment and 21st Century“Shift our assessment of
students’ mastery to ones that examine mastery in action” (Richardson, 2012, 88).
“This isn’t about delivery. In a word, it’s about discovery” (Richardson, 2012, 60).
Assessment and 21st CenturyChanges in BC Curriculum:
◦Shift from reporting to communicating student learning
◦Support meaningful communication between teachers, parents and learners
◦Move toward meaningful descriptions/collections and demonstrations of student learning
What are students already doing?Using iPad apps to practice math
concepts (Hungry Fish, Candy Crush, etc.)
Using manipulatives to explore, create, demonstrate and collaborate
Sharing their learning with classmates through informal discussions or group meetings
As Will Richardson says…..
Lets “get a little crazy and add some technology into the mix”
(126).

Benefits of using iPads“Being able to hear a student
explain his or her thinking is a transformative event” (Burley)
Reflection and rethinking (Burley)VisualsOpportunity to capture and share
learning that would otherwise be cleaned up and put back in the bin
Beyond Our Classroom WallsPosting learning to blogsParents and other students can
commentUse data from another class at a
different school to solve problemsEngage in a collaborative
problem activity by connecting to other classes anywhere in the world
Next Steps…Which app will you choose?Decide how students will use this
app – Will iPads be available during centres? Who will be in charge of the ipads (students or teacher)?
How will students share their learning? – Projector? Apple TV? Blog?
Can you connect with another class?
