Teaching that STICKS Chip and Dan Heath discovered 6 traits that make ideas stick: Simple Unexpected Concrete Credible Emotional Story Note: *Sticky ideas are understood, remembered and change something (behavior, values, opinions, etc.) Our job is to make ideas stick everyday! (see Teaching That Sticks article)

Slide 24 -

Teachers changing methods Real change can take a few years in schools rich with technology, and even longer in schools with less. Professional development can shorten the learning curve and return on investment. The important thing to consider is that professional development lies along a continuum—from learning discrete skills, to developing fully integrated lessons, to transferring those skills to new technologies and new methodologies like project-based learning.

Visualize your class integrated

Slide 39 -

What does integration look like? Students can test scientific theories with simulations, find ways to prove ideas with multimedia ,and collect environmental data with hands-on experiments. They can use the Internet to experience the world through virtual field trips and find information to prove almost any point of view. They can exercise their creativity with art, writing, and music software and more. All of these opportunities mean using technology as a tool to promote content learning.

Slide 40 -

Pieces of Integration Puzzle Teacher Student Content Tech Tools

Slide 41 -

First Piece: The teacher As you can imagine, using technology in the classroom changes the classroom structure, operation, and management. Teachers learn to become a “guide on the side” rather than a “sage on the stage.” Getting there involves changes in philosophy and practice. Change is welcomed by students—visit Teacher Tube.

Slide 42 -

Teacher Technology Skills Competency Levels What level of daily technological integration is the teacher utilizing? Daily Routine: type worksheets, attendance, email, make charts. Effective User: web portal, discussion boards, advanced functions, specialized software, expert, models AUP, flexibility, use data to manage and solve problems. Innovative User: full array of software & hardware, strategic use of capabilities, produce, empower, mentor, foster continuous improvement. Who is left out? Resisters Beginners

Slide 43 -

Ways teachers integrate View document on sharepoint titled “ What technology integration looks like” and “Creating Student Support Materials” Save to your desktop Work with your partner to add three of your own examples of student products/tools to the list Be prepared to share your ideas.

Slide 44 -

Next piece: the student The goal of technology integration is to use technology in the classroom so that it becomes a tool to help students learn new things in new ways and prepare for the future. Yet it is a catalyst for greater change! Employing technology affects the classroom’s structure, operation, and management and requires new skills --both for students and educators.

Slide 45 -

Technology Standards NETS-S: ISTE’s Technology Foundation Standards for All Students (NETS) include six categories for addressing necessary technology skills: 1. Basic operations and concepts 2. Social, ethical, and human issues 3. Technology productivity tools 4. Technology communications tools 5. Technology research tools 6. Technology problem-solving and decision-making tools

Slide 46 -

Student progress and the iBrain As technology use becomes increasingly interwoven in lessons and instructional units, it becomes increasingly important to measure student progress using a variety of tools. In addition to summative and formative tests, teachers should have rubrics, e-portfolios, and other assessment tools to measure content knowledge and degree of technological proficiency. Brain Plasticity

Slide 47 -

Student Assessment There are applications in the market place that provide 100% participation and collaboration during instruction. With these applications, teachers can gauge the pace of the instruction with real time student feedback. Free online tools: • QuizStar • RubiStar • 4Teachers.org Adjusting lessons and using this information to fill in the gaps between the students learning style and performance involves differentiating instruction, which is based on the beliefs that students differ in how they learn, classrooms that are not “one size fits all” are more effective, and students must be able to make meaning from subject matter. A differentiated classroom offers students different ways to learn subject content, make sense of ideas, and demonstrate learning. Teachers have many ways to provide instruction that is targeted to specific groups of students.

Slide 48 -

Tech based activities Looking at technology based activities, teachers can locate online projects and WebQuests that already infuse technology within the lesson while providing all the lesson resources, templates and assessment. These projects and offer a tried and true option in using effective activities and projects. Websites contain inquiry-based projects that have been developed by teachers as well as training and teacher materials.

Third Piece: The content curriculum and standards The International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) believes that: “To live, learn, and work successful in an increasingly complex and information-rich society, students must be able to use technology effectively.” They developed standards to guide educational Leaders in recognizing and addressing the conditions for effective use of technology to support Pre K-12 education. They state, “Within an effective educational setting, technology can enable students to become--Capable information technology users: Information seekers, analyzers, and evaluators Problem solvers and decision makers Creative and effective users of productivity tools Communicators, collaborators, publishers, and producers Informed, responsible, and contributing citizens

Slide 51 -

Last piece: Technology Tools What tools do you have at your school site? What software or hard ware restrictions are there? What type of room set up and computer preparation is necessary? Do you know how to use, charge, upload and download all the equipment in your lesson? How do you select equipment to use?

Tech Integration as easy as PIZZA PIE ! Planning Implementation ZZ-reflect Analyze the Data

Slide 59 -

How to begin? PIZZA process! Making good choices leads to effective time management. Teachers have to determine what their students need to learn for each assignment. Then they choose the best way to provide the material and the best way for students to learn it. They can begin by enhancing lessons with technology. They start by identifying the objectives of a lesson and looking for ways to infuse technology into activities. VIEW UNIT LESSON PLANNING TOOLS
