Pitler, H. (2007). Using technology with classroom instruction that works . Alexandria, Va.: Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development ;.

Common Core is NOW!With Common Core becoming a reality in

our classrooms, the integration of technology is no longer an option in the

classroom. It is ESSENTIAL!

Why Technology?Applied effectively, technology implementation

not only increases student learning, understanding, and achievement but also

augments MOTIVATION to learn, encourages collaborative learning, and supports the

development of critical thinking and problem solving skills (Schacter & Fagnano, 1999)

What we want you to take from this presentation:

What Will Students Learn?•Setting ObjectivesWord Processing Applications•Microsoft Word for creating KWL Charts & Graphs

Data Collection Tools Zoomerang •Google Forms/Survey Monkey/Zoomerang for Creating Surveys & Pre- Assessments

Communication Software•Blogs (i.e. Google, Edublogs) to set student objectives•Email (i.e. Gaggle) allows students/parents to communicate learning objectives

Web Resources•Rubistar to create Rubrics, set/show student •objectives (http://rubistar.4teachers.org )

Which Strategies Will Provide Evidence of Student Learning?•Providing Feedback•Providing Recognition

Word Processing Applications•Microsoft Word to track changes, enter comments

Data Collection Tools•Classroom Response Systems (Activotes, SMART Responders, CPS) for quizzes, immediate feedback/recognition

Communication Software•Blogs, Wikis, Email, Instant Messaging – (Gaggle, EduBlog, PBWiki) to post outstanding work

Multimedia•Certificates/Awards for immediate recognition (PowerPoint, Publisher)

Which Strategies will help students acquire and integrate learning?

•Cues, questions, & advance organizers•Nonlinguistic representation•Summarizing & note taking•Cooperative learning•Reinforcing effort

(Continued)

Word Processing Applications•Expository Organizers like brochures and programs, Narrative Organizers like stories and articles, Graphic Organizers, and Note Taking Templates (MS Word, Publisher)

Spreadsheet Applications • Create Rubrics using Excel•Fill out effort and achievement templates for self evaluation – use charts to show effort (Excel, Google Docs)•Create Charts and Graphs for data (Excel)

…acquire and integrate learning? (cont)

(Continued)

Communication Software•Email, Chatrooms, Discussion Boards, (Gaggle)•Group Collaboration (Wilkis like PBWiki)

Data Collection Tools•Self evaluation, peer evaluation (Google Docs, Survey Monkey, Zoomerang, Classroom Response Systems)•Document Camera to take photos of notes and collect data

…acquire and integrate learning? (cont)

(Continued)

Multimedia•Group created activities/Webquests (MovieMaker, PhotoStory, PowerPoint)•Summarize notes, learn about a particular subject, organize time (PowerPoint)•Presentation Software to show time-lapse point of view (PowerPoint, MovieMaker, PhotoStory, Glogster)

Web Resources•Combine and summarize notes (Google Docs, PBWiki)•Take information from web, organize resources, creating citations (Notester, LiveBinder, BibMe)•Create Checklists for group projects (PBL Notes or Rubistar)

…acquire and integrate learning? (cont)

Which strategies will help students practice, review & apply learning?

•Identifying similarities & differences•Homework & practice•Generating & testing hypothesis

Multimedia – Use Mimio/ActivInspire/SMART Notebook to play games to compare, classify or organize data.-Gaming sites can enhance knowledge of previously learned skills (BrainPop, BBC Skillwise, National Library of Virtual Manipulatives, etc.) --Use Powerpoint to create games/practice on previously learned topics.

Communication Software – use Chat rooms, discussion/message boards (Gaggle) for HW Help/test review.

Web Resources – Use online simulations (FrogGuts, SmogCity, Darwin Pond, etc.) to form hypotheses and practice theories.

…practice, review & apply learning? (cont)

Additional Links at end of Slideshow

Word Processing Applications – Creating Graphic Organizers to compare & classify terms, publisher to use photos/words to show analogies. -Create hyperlinks to perform research.

Spreadsheet Software – Use Excel to create classification tables, or to enter data and create charts/graphs to show and compare data, practice graphing, etc.

Data Collection Tools – Use Google Docs or Survey Monkey/Zoomerang to collect data from observations, interviews, etc. This allows students to gather data in one central location.
