STEM lends itself very well to this standard. Students are given a real world problem to solve and are able to collaborate in groups to solve the problem. We use robotics and students program them, troubleshoot, etc. to solve the problem. Teacher is the facilitator, suggesting ideas/tools for students to try.

"Manage the use of technology and student learning strategies in digital platforms, virtual environments, hands-on maker spaces or in the field."

This year I deliberately planned days that were self-paced virtual days. These days I could then work with students one-on-one when following up on previous topics. I used self-paced Nearpods, choice boards, and virtual self-lead discussion.

We use technology in many ways that allow students to show their own creativity. One example of this is when we use google slides to create a "rapid research" slide where students can dive deeper into something that is connected to our current concept and make a slide presentation where they can teach others about that information.

Technology allows us to create opportunities in the classroom to support student learning.  In using technology daily, as well as using a variety of technology throughout the year, we as teachers can support student achievement as they are being introduced to additional ways to learn or demonstrate their understanding.
It was helpful, when using Canvas to allow my students to respond via text, audio, or video.  Video became the preferred method amongst my students, and were able to demonstrate understanding of the lesson.

# data[].attributes.body
In Math, we have the opportunity to teach students many skills such as graphing or finding trend lines. After they understand the concept, we can help them leverage this learning with powerful on-line tools such as Desmos. I think the key is to first shown them how a tool works and then allowing them to use the tool to answer more interesting questions.

# data[].attributes.body
It's very helpful to use Canvas and other platforms to provide meaningful feedback in a timely manner that is helpful to students but also time efficient for the teacher to provide. For example Canvas has a speed-grader function that allows for comments and each submitted assignment that students get alerts for as soon as comments are made.

Natalie Gleave - Zoom created a great way to interact with my students in groups or as a whole class. When we couldn't meet with our students in person, it was such a wonderful tool to use as a check in. I was able to stay in contact with my students and parents in a more personable way, besides just using email.

# data[].attributes.body
I love to start the year off telling my students that I hope they fail, and I hope they do it a lot. They are so shocked to hear their teacher say such a thing. I then go on to explain that failing shows that you are trying. If you don't even try then you fail by default. Opening up this space for failing changes their attitude toward learning. I also make sure that they realize that they own their own learning and are responsible for it. My end goal is always to facilitate their ownership of their learning. I think it was very helpful for them to see me fail over and over when we turned to distance learning. I didn't give up and I think they learned more from that than anything I put out there on Canvas.

I would love to incorporate some sort of “design your own game” activity in my PE classes. It will engage the students in an area similar to that of a passion project. If students are learning from one another that is when your classroom culture reaches the next level.

In the art classroom, it is vital to the creative process to foster the culture of trying, failing, and trying again. I constantly model the design process and encourage students to record their process in their sketchbooks. I emphasize that the process is often more important than the finished product.

# data[].attributes.body
Most students have never gone through the process of building something from design to finish. This process is empowering to students and personalizes the learning process. Kevin Wood

Student Learning Strategies
When students take ownership of their learning, the product of their work is usually a lot better. I see that in my DLI classroom when we work on specific language or science project. Technology enable students to work at their own pace, to feel safe, explore their capabilities, and achieve better results and to go beyond what they would normally do if they involve themselves in the process and want to succeed and show what they are able to accomplish on their own.

As I read through all the posts I feel a bit discouraged. I would love to have the time to take my kids through the steps to learn and manage more technology---but as an elementary resource teacher ---my time with the students is already extremely limited. So many of my students have difficulty focusing and working independently--I am going to continue to use Canvas ---in a very simple way--but wish we had more time and manpower to do all that I read others post about.

Earlier in my career, I taught with an awesome teacher who showed me the difference between a teacher and a facilitator. She was the 'computer teacher' and I would take my class to the lab for her lesson. She would show the student some awesome product or pose a question to be answered and then she would ask "What do you think we should do next?" She led the class in a discussion about how THEY would do it, then she let them try. She set some safety ground rules and then just let them go and try and fail and succeed. It was awesome and it was facilitating!

Rachel Farmer - One way I have demonstrated my role as a facilitator is by challenging students to use their own creativity and design methods to create menus and infographics using Canva.  I also strive to ensure that these activities target the engagement of solving a problem.  One example is in my ProStart class I gave them the challenge of becoming an expert on one chapter of the ServSafe manager textbook.  They had to create an infographic that presented the most critical information from their chapter to help teach their fellow peers and ensure that everyone in the class could successfully obtain all important information to pass the test.

We need to create learning opportunities that challenge students. We need to allow them to learn from their mistakes and model creativity. We need to allow time for students to reflect and set goals so they can take ownership for their learning and the outcomes of their goals as a group and independently. We also need to give meaningful feedback to our students.

Technology can be a great tool in fostering creativity. Students need to feel free to explore and make mistakes, as in any subject, to truly be creative. My students love to show their creativity with coding, and Google Slides. Perhaps in the future I can teach them how to design their own Nearpods (in small groups or partners) so they can teach the class about a subject we're working on.

My students have been able to come up with formulas and patterns in Excel and Sheets to help review material and engage in the Accounting process.  They have designed new sheets and programs that others are using to learn.  We've done this in real time as well as in Asynchronous ways.  In other classes, project based electronic portfolios have been a great way to facilitate and discuss processes along the way.  My role as facilitator is to keep all of these tools and projects in the correct trajectory and focus.

Classroom management is one of the most important skills of a successful teacher. The experience of managing a virtual classroom for the first time is no different that managing a physical classroom for the first time. It is a challenge. Some strategies like positive group contingencies work equally as well on line. Like good managers in the physical classroom space, great teachers need clear, explicitly taught, practiced and reinforced procedures to maximize success.

A Facilitator to me is much like the Designer.  Once the framework is set to allow the student or group of students the ability to come up with the way to solve the problem.   The educator is just then a go-to if needed.   It also mentioned to set up ways that technology helps the students problem-solve.

Sarah Andersen (Park Lane ES)- Tech can give students the ability to gain almost instant feedback. I have found that using quick check for math concepts really helpful for me and my students. I typically have a couple of students at the start of each year either get really upset or not care at all with low scores, but with discussions, practice, hands-on tools, and effect, my students gain ownership of their growth. I really appreciate the growth I see in students that start off crying because of low scores, but gain intrinsic motivation to try hard, take a little more time, ask more questions during the lesson, or grab our hands-on tools so they can increase their quick check scores throughout the year. Students can see the feedback, and work to improve over time and really own their learning growth.

Andrew Van Wagenen - CCHS - I've always enjoyed doing video projects where students work in collaborative groups using multiple technology platforms to create their final project. However, many groups move at different paces. Giving students more time to fail and try again would be helpful in this scenario. Also, allowing the different groups reflect on and evaluate their design process and present this to the class in addition to their final project would be beneficial to the students.

In many applications technology allows students to receive immediate feedback on their work and their understanding of concepts or phenomena. As teachers, it can be very challenging to return work in a timely manner. If we can provide technological experiences which are relevant and provide that immediate feedback, we are promoting a sense of ownership in learning.

In a daily classroom, an example of fostering a culture of "try again" can be as simple as a click of a button in Canvas. Though I don't always love it (because they don't really try the first time) students love having multiple attempts! For group settings, I love how easy it is in both Canvas and Google to do peer reviews and have students collaborate on a shared project.

As a facilitator, it is my job to introduce various platforms that students can use to accomplish their end product, whatever it may be. An example of this was when I introduced my students to research by selecting an animal for a google slide show. They worked independently on their topic using the template I made for them. After presenting to class, I had them work in groups with the other students who selected animals in the same habitat. They collaborated and researched together, creating the habitats with all the animals in a diorama project.They enjoyed all of the process, both independent and group setting. It worked well and I loved watching them work together.

Kory Crockett: Being a facilitator is more than assigning online modules, creating quizzes, or giving a reading assignment.   A facilitator leads and guides rather than merely assigning.  A facilitator is apart of the learning right there with students.  As a facilitator, especially through online learning, when I assign work on Canvas, I will work hard to give proper examples that students can reference as well as effective feedback students can use to reflect and grow.

As a teacher facilitating is helping guide students through the learning. It isn't me being at the front of the room. It is students taking what they have learned with feedback and demonstrating knowledge. The key to facilitating is having an open mind, and teaching students how to work through a task.  This helps them both through independent and group settings. For example, completing the research for biomes and then using that research to create a biome. Students followed a template in google, and worked with partners to research, cite and create a biome. Students followed an example to complete the assignment.

In science being able to do research and go though the design process online with their group is a valuable tool. Having live documents that everyone can see and contribute to is very beneficial.  They can use Canvas and google docs to colloborate and go through the entire design process as a group.

As I read about this standard, I realized this will look very different in my First Grade classroom as compared to a Fifth Grade classroom. Despite exposure to iPads and cell phones, First Grade students’ computer knowledge is actually minimal and quite varied. Yes, knowing how to work on an iPad is helpful, but each different program has its own idiosyncrasies. Whether teaching with technology in the classroom or online, it will be critical to set the stage for learning with technology just like I set the stage in the physical classroom for behavior, routines, etc.. Students will need technology norms appropriate for their age, and these must be taught slowly and explicitly. The heavy duty work on this in the fall will reap benefits throughout the year, just like anything you set up carefully and thoughtfully. I love in #1 Foster a Culture that it says “setting up space and time for students to fail and try again.” I have always participated in the Hour of Code with my K or First Grade students for this reason. I feel as if it is one of the best ways to discover what kind of mind set each child has. It is also a good springboard to have discussions on mind set and the importance of perseverance. Perhaps doing a coding lesson early in the fall would be a great place to start since mind set will play an important part in how effective the use of technology will be for each student.

# data[].attributes.body
A big benefit of the technology that we can work with is providing instant feedback to students. This can increase student confidence and foster that culture. In order to foster a culture where students take ownership of their work, it is important to work on teacher clarity. Or to present students with problems that have them create their own learning tasks to solve these problems.

Shauna McClendon-This reminds me of what we learned in eMints with Project & Problem based learning, which really is great when it comes to facilitating learning using technology.  Students use computational thinking, a problem solving process, within collaborative groups and use technology during this process to solve their problems.  Throughout this process they are goal setting, reflecting, collaborating, and demonstrating competency within their group.

As an artist I am constantly modeling creativity with demonstrations in class. I would like to learn how to better use a camera to do demonstrations and make better videos.

Students participate in developing the culture of the classroom and the learning that takes place. For example, students could help choose which topics to focus on in a unit. As a teacher, I could create a Google Form that allows students to provide input on which topics they are most interested in learning about, and then that would drive the instruction for that unit. Or, students could design their own project and choose a topic of interest to them for an end of year project, or semester final.

During 4th quarter my theatre students worked in small groups to collaborate together on project-based learning goals tied to the curriculum. Students had clear benchmarks to meet but had a lot of flexibility about how they met those benchmarks. Students were in charge of directing their own outcomes in their learning groups or on their own. My students said that they loved how much our online classroom felt like our in person classroom. Students felt motivated to come to class because they were excited about the projects and they knew other students were counting on them to be there.

Being an effective facilitator means providing the environment in which students can be responsible for their learning and can be comfortable with both success and failure. It includes students celebrating their success and continually shaping new goals. Being a facilitator is the educator providing a pathway and listening to students as they navigate the path. You must have specific problem solving processes that students are taught so they can apply them when they face conflict.

Alizabeth Shirts 2nd grade teacher - As a facilitator in learning we are giving students opportunties to show what they know as well as create learning opportunities within the classroom using technology. I feel the portion of the standard that refers to giving students choice and ownership in their learning really resonated the most with me. Each student may have a different preference when it comes to showing what they have learned. I think giving choice will allow students to be so much more proud of what they are able to produce and really ensure buy in to the learning process overall.

As educators we can facilitate learning using technology to support student achievements in the classroom. In the art classroom we use our laptops to research different art works, reference photos to create from, watch tutorial videos on various techniques and create art digitally. All of our assignments are on Canvas and students turn in all of their artwork by taking a photo of it with their laptops and submit it to the Canvas assignment. To model and nurture creativity I do frequent demonstrations and design art projects that showcase creative expression as a language to communicate ideas.
