Week+2+-+Collaborating+on+Technology+Standards

Wikis are great Web 2.0 tools for working together, collaborating and constructing new knowledge. For this activity on standards and to become familiar with using a wiki, we will each contribute to this chart about Standards and 21st Century Learning. As people add their thoughts and information you can see how wikis can be a powerful place for students in your class, in your school, in our district and globally to collaborate on projects.

//For this activity, review the NETS-T National Technology Standards and the information from the Partnership for 21st Century Learning. Choose a technology standard at the objective level, align it with a 21st century skill and name a technology you have used or might want to try to help support the standard.//

Just click in a blank row and type your information! If all the rows have been used, click in the last row and then click on the table icon. Then, choose **Row**, **Add Row**, **Add below** to add another row for your entry. **__CLICK SAVE before leaving the page!!__**

//**__Be sure to check back to see what others have added...printing out this page at the end of the activity provides a great resource for you to use!__**// Crisis management procedures for staff & students; what I would like to do is create a voice thread where I could address staff and students about the proper procedures to follow when we conduct various types safety drills and the importance of these drills. I would the do a podcast or voice thread where teachers could share with their students in homeroom or at another selected time so that students could be prepared and follow procedures. Voice thread & podcasts

communicate relevant information and ideas effectively to students, parents, and peers using a variety of digital-age media and formats || Learning and innovative skills; Creativity and innovation skills, Critical thinking and problem solving skills, and Communication and collaboration skills || Using wikis to have students build tutorials on how to solve problems and practice math skills. Voice Thread-may allow students to post their solution, and have students collaborate to or help find the solution. || Interpret information and draw conclusions based on the best analysis || Using a google doc to track student interventions. This enables staff members to stop doing what is not effective with a student and keep track of effective interventions to ensure student learning progress. || standards and use resulting data to inform learning and teaching || The ability to problem solve and think critically. And become technology operators. || Using my classroom set of I-Pod Touches i will use the application E-Clicker and download my test right onto their I-Pods. They will take their tests and it will provide instant feedback and if I so choose allow them also to make corrections that time. || allocate time, resources, and access to ensure ongoing professional growth in technology fluency and integration || when my staff is able to go to proffessional development and take part in the continuous learning process, then that means they are able to pass that learnig onto the students || Our classrooms have a lot of new technology and some new teachers to the building this year. As an administrator I will ensure I give these teachers time to collaborate with one another and time to attended professional development to become familiar with the new technology they have at to use || Advocate, model, and teach safe, legal, and ethical use of digital information and technology, including respect for copyright, intellectual property and the appropriate documentaion of sources || To give credit where credit is due and not present it as your own work. || Our system is filtered for content and teachers model the appropriate method for obtaining and using information from electronic sources. || Demonstrate Diligience and a positive work ethic || In an effort to prepare for our next short story in English, we used "cell phones" to call outside the school environment to resources that might help us understand the setting for our story, //Big Joe's Funeral.// Students called relatives, family, parents. They also obtained a list of experts in Harlem to call. They texted for information as well. Students learned through this exercise that Bill Clinton has an office in Harlem....and they were ready to understand the setting and read. It created motivation, great collaboration among students, and a positive work ethic. They were also aware at the end of the lesson the cell phone got put away until school was out! ||

Students then have the freedom to work at their own pace. They can get one on one feedback from the teacher through these technologies and can work as slow or as quick as is needed. I sometimes use media recordings with my students to explain book work or tests that need corrected. That way students can watch an explination of only the question they need to review and can pause, play, and rewind as needed. ||
 * Tom/Fostoria City || 3a. allocate time, resources, and access to ensure ongoing professional growth in technology fluency and integration || I try to find in house professional development opportunities for my teachers to build on the strengths that they have.

Start a second that will predict future challenges and technology solutions. || Chaney H.S. || 3a. allocate time, resources, and access to ensure ongoing professional growth in technology fluency and integration || We will develop, with the assistance of our coach and the district technology department, a professional development schedule that will support the development of the teachers in using 21st technology. This will also include resources the teachers can use throughout the year. || Technology tools that will be utilized are:
 * David/Barberton || 3C - Communicate relevant information and ideas effectively to students, parents, and peers using a variety of digital-age media and formats || the ability to think critically, problem solve, create, innovate, communicate and collaborate || In the past I have used online threaded discussions to debate a literary character debate over a moral decision they must make. In doing this, I model posting etiquette, referencing, and some critical thinking. It would be interesting to set up a "booth" where students could do voicethreads to give their opinions. ||
 * Matt/RULH || 1C - promote student reflection using collaborative tools to reveal and clarify students’ conceptual understanding and thinking, planning, and creative process. || ======Debate the positive and negative outcomes of technology transfer (e.g., given a selected region or country, what types of appropriate technology best meet the needs of the people?). ====== || Technology that I have used in the classroom that has helped with this is poll everywhere. It gives the students the ability to see what others in their classroom are thinking without actually having to say it in class but at the same time it is a way for them and I to assess their knowledge in a government setting.
 * An example of this would be in poll everywhere - What are you opinions of using technology in polling centers to help speed up the count for elections. Then students use their cell phones to text their answer into poll everywhere for it to be posted on my classroom board. ||
 * Tim Murray/Fostoria || 2A - ensure instructional innovation focused on continuous improvement of digital-age learning. || Allow teachers the freedom to try new techniques incorporating techonolgy that creates meaningful instruction and learning. || Cell Phone lingo to teach an english lesson, use iPod touches to communicate with other areas of the country or possibly world wide, utilize wiki pages for discussions about topics, utilize video conferencing. ||
