Framework
Increasing Levels of CognitionCurriculum mastery deepens
Increasing Complexity of Technology SkillsTechnology choices become autonomous
ObservingStudents are passive spectators of the technology
Incorporating Students are leveraging technology to increase productivity
ProducingStudents create a product with a single technology
Exploring Students engage in discovery learning prior to formal instruction
CollaboratingStudents interact with peers, instructors, and outside resources
ApplyingStudents are guided to combine and integrate technologies
CreatingStudents are making sound choices about the appropriate synthesis of content and technology into a final product
Leap One
Observing to Incorporating
ObservingStudents are passive spectators of the technology
Observing to Incorporating
Incorporating Students are leveraging technology to increase productivity
Examples
Students use the interactive whiteboard to manipulate pictures in a classification activity
Students narrate a Discovery Streaming video in lieu of the “stock” narration
Using Inspiration to create chemical element cards that can be manipulated toCreate a periodic table
When writing an abstract, students must use the formatting features that are built intoWord to identify claims and substantiating facts
Students create a Diigo or or Delicious page to organize and identify supportingevidence for an experiment or study
Observing to Incorporating
Leap Two
Incorporating to the “Triangle”
Incorporating to the “Triangle”Incorporating Students are leveraging technology to increase productivity
ProducingStudents create a product with a single technology
Exploring Students engage in discovery learning prior to formal instruction
CollaboratingStudents interact with peers, instructors, and outside resources
Examples
Students podcast observations in lieu of a data table
Post a video that displays a scientific principle to Voicethread so that the class can comment and/or predict its law
Design an experiment in Google Docs and complete it with your lab group, online
Make a movie trailer about a chemical reaction, describing its mathematics and propertiesIn a dramatic or comedic way
Students explore the principles of a gas law by engaging in a simulation about thatlaw prior to experimentation
Incorporating to the “Triangle”
Leap Three
The “Triangle” to Creating
The “Triangle”Students are guided to use different tools
The “Triangle” to Creating
CreatingStudents are making sound choices about the appropriate synthesis of content and technology into a final product
Planning Documents
• Year Long Plan• Being Creative• Curriculum Map
• What are 21st century skills?• What are technologies you / your students can use?• What are your current integration activities?
The resources…
Eliciting Practices
Eliciting Skill Development
• Through the curriculum, the students must be provided experiences that will facilitate growth in all areas of the NETS.
• The curriculum mapping document will help…
Extended Thinking…BAM!
Student Practices
Kickin’ it up a Notch
Eliciting Creativity
• Designing activities that ask students to be creative must begin with the end point in mind.
• The “being creative” document will help…
Ensuring Success
• In order to allow students to be successful, we must scaffold our activities from a content perspective as well as a technology one
• The Year Long Plan will help:
Assessing Technology Integrated Projects
• What are the goals / objectives of the project?• Curricular• Skills • Technology
• Develop a rubric• Curriculum Focus should be first• Need a rubric area to deal with technology aspect
• Collaboration• Problem Solving• Communication
Creating rubrics
