Drive by Daniel Pink
blended by Michael Horn and Heather Staker
Reclaiming Conversation by Sherry Turkle

"Have enough to know when to put it away."
Tech Rich vs Blended Classroom
includes:

face to face instruction

online learning where students have choice, pace, options

both of these are connected by common content.

Station-Rotation Model

Question:
How much time do I have students doing:

1. online learning

2. face to face teacher instruction

3. Collaboration with each other

What types of activities do I use that fit these three categories?

Learnzillion 20-45 min1,2

Xtra Math 8 mim 1

Problem of the Day 15 min 3

FrontRow 20 min 1

Social Studies Projects 20-30 min 1,2,3

1. Use video to help students reflect on criteria and evaluate their learning.

Students make a video, screencast, onenote video, that shows their understanding of a concept: solve the division problem and explain the steps you followed - The resulting video will:

show any gaps in the students understanding

demonstrate and document what they know how to do

give the student and a the teacher a reference when gauging if the success criteria has been met.

2.  Help at least one other staff member get more connected to using tech in their classroom"

Go beyond the Lab mentality

Use tech for content and teching (blended learning)

Feel comfortable trying something new that's not drill and kill or a presentation

Block Based Coding- less syntactic errors allows kids to jump right in to programming. Promotes computational thinking.

Paired Programming. Great video explains how to work together.

Tried out Code.org

Tynker

Scratch

Something to check out...Khan Academy - Coding with Blocks

Text base coding - more advanced for kids who are ready to move ahead or have done coding before.

Bitsbox

Have to spend some real time checking this out and how to use coding in the classroom.

Hour of code?

Lego Robotics?

Websites and Presentation Tools       Thinglink: A presentation tool in a “live story” format used to present information in a new way. Seems like info is being typed out live. Good for teachers to present information, but not realistic for student use. Presenter used to show how an author could revise and edit a piece of writing to make it more interesting by adding adjectives, adverbs, punctuations, etc. Seems like someone is doing it live and music can be added to the background. As text appears, you hear the sound of a typewriter. Engaging.

Twitter

Make lists to group and organize your Twitter "peeps" or the people you are following

Turn off alerts in settings

Voxer:

Like a Walkie Talkie app

Make groups and use for constant communication

Think about making a 1:1/Tech Lead group for tech Q and A

Use Voxer when you can't be face to face

Extra Notes:

Use SlidesCarnical for extra Google templates when creating docs and slides

Rules

time limit

available to others - can we set up a video channel in O365?

very specific content

have more than one question so all videos are not the same content - differentiate.

Have a way to give feedback...comment on a video channel, Post to OneNote Collaboration Space by topic?

Question - How/where do we post our videos.

Sing a song to memorize a formula or remember a concept.

Created an I'm Curious padlet for students to post what they would like to learn about. https://padlet.com/esorenson1/curious

Other ideas:

students create a padlet to demonstrate their learning, post documents, videos and links related to their topic.

students post evidence of learning: written work for others to read.

Post problem of the day answers for students to comment on.

Learning how to use Badgelist.com to create a space for students to earn badges for completing assignments or tasks. Badges are set up with criteria for earning the badge with evidence (links, pictures, text, etc...) http://www.badgelist.com/
Might take a lot of time creating badges.
You can create groups so maybe a language arts group or a math group, etc...
