Before our first meeting, please review the following short “multi-media readings” to inform future discussions:

1. If you are not already familiar with the SAMR model, watch this 4-minute video describing this model.

2.  Blended Learning and Technology Integration (7-minute video) 

3.  New Ways to Learn and Teach Since the Pandemic (7-minute video in Spanish-use CC to get a translation)

4. New NYSED Digital Literacy standards (only p.17) - You may have to copy this link and paste it into your browser. Then it should automatically download a .pdf file.

Think back at your experiences last year, and identify a digitally-rich lesson you thought worked well, and one that did not (and you would like to redesign).

Be ready to briefly describe these lessons, and why you chose them, in our first session (no need to do so in this padlet - but feel free to do so if you wish).

(optional) If you have any questions about this PD, please share them here.
