INTRODUCTIONS AND WELCOME  Grounding question:  Introduce yourself, your district, and your role.  What is the benefit of working together as a consortium to develop common 21 st Century Technology standards?

GOALS FOR TODAY  Develop a vision for a 21 st century learning environment  “Unpack” the National Educational Technology Standards from ISTE  Create essential questions for teaching to these standards  Identify the knowledge and skills students will need at end of grade levels 2, 5, 8, and 12  Develop sample activities to enable students to acquire the knowledge and skills

Agenda

GENESIS OF THE PROCESS  This work is only in its infancy across the nation and here in Colorado  NW BOCES technology coordinators and learning specialists cooperatively developed a draft template for Grades 6-8  Work can dovetail into the redrafting of Colorado State Standards (etc 2010) and CTE standards (see also TLF Recommendations). Colorado State Standards see also TLF Recommendations

21 st Century Skills

Unpacking the ISTE Standards  “What does this standard mean to you?”  “What questions do you have about this standard?  Work in groups – write comments and questions on sheets  Rotate to next standard – add to comments and questions and use green and red dots to indicate agreement and disagreement with previous comments  Continue until each group has looked at every standard  Resolve any burning questions  Reflection on process – each group reports back to the large group

21 st Century Standard Framework  Template for Work  Enduring Understandings  Essential Questions  Knowledge & Skills  Activities

Resources We need to use 21 st century skills in our work:  Wiki:  Discussion Board (part of wiki) will be used for non-contact work until our next meeting

Task for Afternoon  Work in Grade Level Groups  Using the UBD Process to :  Create essential questions for teaching to these standards  Identify the knowledge and skills students will need at end of grade levels 2, 5, 8, and 12  Develop sample activities to enable students to acquire the knowledge and skills
