3. Workshop Info Breaks… Sorry Bathrooms Laptops Open / Closed iMacs On Follow Up Check our business cards

4. Objectives Participants will be able to create and use templates for student use in Word, Inspiration and PowerPoint Participants will be able to use and understand the effectiveness of science probes for collecting data Participants will be able to take digital photos and incorporate them into different applications for science laboratory write-ups Participants will be able to create a short movie of a science lab activity Participants will be able to create a podcast describing a science activity

5. Schedule Theory and Foundation Hardware / Software Overview Designing an Experiment (Inspiration) Collecting Data - Taking Pictures Collecting Data - Video Capture Collecting Data - Using Probes Collecting Data - Recording Podcasts Recording Data - Use Web 2.0 Tools “Writing” it Up - Using Templates Q & A

6. Ready or Not... The World is Different Then … Now Now … telecommunications audio tapes video tapes simulationsemail web projects problem-solvingmultimediahypermedia mobile access laptops (1:1 access) GIS/GPS systems instant messaging wikis / blogs MUVEs cell phones virtual reality

7. Our Vision All students, teachers, and administrators will be able to be creative, communicate, collaborate, and problem solve in a productive and ethical manner.

8. What is Digitizing the Classroom? Taking the things that take place in the classroom and making them available digitally Worksheets / Handouts - Teacher Output Lectures / Discussions / Anything Audible Demonstrations Lab Reports / Papers - Student Input Homework Boardnotes Data Collection

9. Pedagogical Foundations Curriculum must drive the need for technology integration Technology is the tool used to facilitate student- centered learning Scaffolding technology skills has to occur prior to the expectation that students can make thoughtful choices about its appropriate use Degree to which students can utilize technology is also dependent upon their level of cognitive ability.

11. Core Science Teaching Philosophies Science should be Hands-On (Wheatley) Conceptual Change (Posner, Strike, Hewitt, & Herzog) Peer Instruction (Mazur)

12. Equipment Needs Hardware WebCam Otherwise Digital Camera Camera Cards Batteries Card Reader Optional Digital Camcorder Firewire / USB Cable Microphone Probes / Interface Software Office Suite (Google Docs) Word, PPT, Excel Inspiration (Mindomo) Photobooth (Mac only) iMovie / Moviemaker (JumpCut) Audacity Logger Pro / DataStudio

13. Working with Students Provide written or video instructions Quick demonstrations Facilitate class Using Templates Poster Session Lab Reports

14. Designing Experiments Inspiration - Mind Mapping Cmap / Mindomo - free alternative Web 2.0: MyWebspiration, Mindomo, Mindmeister Give students template Task: Design an experiment examining how air resistance affects falling coffee filters.

15. Photo Booth Open Photo Booth Set up the shot Click the camera and count to 3 Flip photo if needed Screen Capture - Apple - Shift - 4 Hold the Control key, Click and drag

16. Collecting Data - Taking Pictures Use Photobooth to take pictures Drag to Desktop for later use Task: Take pictures of your equipment and experimental setup

17. Teacher Notes Downsize images before inserting into PowerPoint Set digital cameras to low resolution

18. Collecting Data - Video Capture Task: Use PhotoBooth to take video of the experimental runs. The video should show the differences in the runs.

19. Teacher Notes Record video on the fly - no tapes Have students script their words Use tripod or steady camera position Video first, narrate later

20. Collecting Data - Using Probes Probes measure more quickly Digitize the data Task: Measure the acceleration of the filters falling; vary the number of filters

21. Collecting Data - Podcasting Use Audacity to record observations of this lab Task: Create a podcast of observations

22. Recording Data Google Docs Word Processing, Data Tables, Graphs Wikis - Warehouse of Information http://edtechinnovators.wikispaces.com/NECC Task: Report your data to the Wiki above. Measurement should include number of filters and acceleration measured.

23. Teacher Notes Have students work collaboratively outside of class using Web 2.0 tools such as Google Docs Students can paste Excel data into Word Watch formatting of tables and document

24. Using Templates - Easier Writeups PowerPoint Poster Session Kiosk (set up transitions) Lab write-up Word Notebook / Tabbed View Inspiration

25. Conclusion / Questions Any files submitted will be placed on our website / wiki Zip files Task: Finish your write-up of the experiment and submit

26. Evaluation http://www.iste.org/wrkeval2009 Workshop - TE463
