1. 2 Learning Environments 2 Learning Environments Learning Context and School Culture Learning Content Technology Access Information and Communication

2. Learning Context and School Culture Technology-enabled performance-based learning environment A variety of instructional and grouping strategies Technology used as a tool to support student directed learning Collaboration & communication with people outside the classroom Convenient access to a variety of learning technologies School culture of collaboration Integrated/coherent instructional model Students often lead the way Success is shared & celebrated along the way

3. Learning Content and Information Pilot teachers in model classrooms, combining digital content linked to standards to create powerful learning experiences for students But effective use of instructional technology in every classroom will require an integrated system that links six critical components: CommunicationManagementAssessment ActivitiesResourcesStandards Units and lesson plans Web-based content linked to standards State & district learning expectations Email chats, web posted assignments Student record, attendance, grading Performance tasks & on-line assessments Learning Content Information & Communication

4. Learning Content & Communication Standards Put your district standards (learning expectations) on the Web Borrow existing models (Federal Way or Kent Schools, for example) Join a consortium or enroll in a fee-based service like Copernicus Activities and Digital Resources Activities (lesson plans) and resources (Web-based) linked to standards Assessment On-line or computer-based assessment (i.e., STAR) linked to standards Show examples of classroom performance tasks Publish (on the Web) examples of student work that exemplify grade level work

5. Technology Access Models Poor (10+:1) Moderate (6-8:1) Good (4:1) Very Good (1-2:1) Quality of Access (students per networked multimedia computer) Access Time Occasional Part Time Full Day 24x7 ALL: laptop for all 4:1 in all classes 8:1 in all classes 8:1 in some classes + labs 6:1 in most + keyboards Scattered access Target Access Basic Access

6. 3:1 in the classroom

7. 2:1 in the classroom

8. 1:1 Laptop

9. 1:1 in a lab

10. Developing Technology Access Developmental Steps: 1. Provide basic access for all –8:1 networked multimedia computers 2. Create model classrooms, schools and programs –Laptop program –3/4:1 classrooms –6:1 classrooms and mobile labs of laptops or smart keyboards 3. Build infrastructure on all dimensions –Professional competency –Technical and system capacity –Curriculum and community connections 4. Expand target access Goal: Promote positive, productive system-wide change by effectively implementing technology Challenge: Layering expensive technology on top of effective practices

11. Developing Technology Access Poor (10+:1) Moderate (6-8:1) Good (4:1) Very Good (1-2:1) Quality of Access (students per networked multimedia computer) Access Time Occasional Part Time Full Day 24x7 Target Access Basic Access 3. Build Infrastructure 4. Expand Target Access 2. Create Models 1. Provide basic access for all

12. Every teacher needs a networked computer with basic productivity tools: –Word processor, spreadsheet, presentation –Email and Web browser Teachers should also have electronic: –Access to student records –Attendance –Grading and report cards The Web creates the potential for: –Assignments on-line –Schools and classroom newsletters (email and Web published) –Publishing student work –Sharing best practices (email bulletin boards and Web published) Developing Information & Communication Infrastructure Status Report: There are a growing number of quality examples of Web-based information and powerful management tools. However, there are very few examples of integrated, Web-based systems that provide: linked content easy access & use integrated tools security (as needed)
