9. Our Vision Students will use technology seamlessly as a regular part of their education Each student will come to class with their own computing device All of the computing devices will be interconnected Teachers and Students will have the skills necessary to appropriately use the Hardware and Software

10. How we work

11. 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.

12. National Educational Technology Standards for Students

13. National Educational Technology Standards for Teachers

14. National Educational Technology Standards for Administrators

15. Knowing Content is NOT Enough Students must be able to …. Construct new understandings Solve problems Make decisions Communicate and express themselves Understand complex issues Work collaboratively Set goals and work to a timeline Make ethical choices

16. A Taxonomy for Integrating Technology into Teaching & Learning

18. One Software - Many Categories PowerPoint Observing - Teacher lectures Incorporating - Taking notes on teacher lectures Producing - Students make their own Exploring - Create a hyperlink book Collaborating - Slideshare Applying - Make slide to embed in videos Creating - Students choose to use it

19. How to Include ALL Students Have students move through the taxonomy appropriate to their abilities. As students acquire the skills of using a technology…. It becomes a tool they may choose The emphasis of an activity shifts from the technology to the cognitive skills students must employ Becomes invisible

20. Our Taxonomy Observing Students are passive spectators of the technology Incorporating Students are leveraging technology to increase productivity Producing Students create a product with a single technology Exploring Students engage in discovery learning prior to formal instruction Collaborating Students interact with peers, instructors, and outside resources Applying Students are guided to combine and integrate technologies Creating Students are making sound choices about the appropriate synthesis of content and technology into a final product

21. Observing Students are passive spectators of the technology Students view PowerPoint during lecture Simulated Lab Activities Explorelearning Explorelearning Gizmos PhET PhET Activities Collect Group Data - Excel Discovery Streaming Videos Demonstrations using Probes View Websites on large screen Listen to podcast

22. Incorporating Students are leveraging technology to increase productivity Recording Data with Probes What to do with them Type papers using Word Web Searches - Google / Nettrekker WebQuests / Online Searches Excel - Calculations / Tables Tutorials

23. Producing Students create a product with a single technology Poster Session with PowerPoint Podcasts - Student Advice Word - Lab Reports and Essays Digital Stories - iMovie / MovieMaker Concept Maps - Inspiration Google Earth DMZ File Wikispace - Website Slideshow - PointPower / Web 2.0 Tool

24. Exploring Students engage in discovery learning prior to formal instruction Instructional Design creates learning situation Boyle’s law - what do you find? Simulations before formal instruction Kiosk style PowerPoint WebQuest

25. Collaborating Students interact with peers, instructors, and outside resources Require students to work together Monitor and Assess the collaboration Web 2.0 Tools Wikispaces, VoiceThread, Mindomo, delicious Google Docs Word - Comments and Track Changes Student Response System Wikispaces - Discussion Tab Email

26. Applying Students are guided to combine and integrate technologies Give students the directions Use Tutorials Web Video Project Make Movie, Analyze Motion, Make Website Students use Office, Photos and Accompanying Software, and a Canvas interface to create lab report Students use PowerPoint to make slides to import into iMovie Students add movies, MP3s and images into a Wiki

27. Creating Students are making sound choices about the appropriate synthesis of content and technology into a final product Be Vague Fill up the Student Toolbox Lightning Racer Podcast Chemical Reactions Project Catapult User Manual Taking Notes - iWeb / NoteBook Lab Report in Inspiration

28. How to Create Creating the Canvas Word, PowerPoint, Inspiration, Wikis, Google Docs Learning to Paint User Created Content: Podcasts, Movies, Animoto, Mapping Creative Process Instructional Design: Be Vague
