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. **//

To ** EDIT ** the page click on the top right on the ** EDIT THIS PAGE **button. You will see an editor pop up and now you will be able to type on the page. It is just like a regular WORD editor, you can bold, italic, color and make hyperlinks! DON'T BE SCARED, you will not ruin anything--we can always pull a back up page! 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!!__**

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. || - articulate thoughts and ideas effectively using oral, written and nonverbal communications skills in a variety of forms and contexts __Critical Thinking & Problem Solving__ - reflect critically on learning experiences and processes - interpret information and draw conclusions based on the best analysis﻿ || 1. Using a Voicethread to collectively and individually reflect upon a teacher-posed critical thinking prompt based on recent class lecture/notes (history class). 2. Using a wiki page to promote a review activity prior to assessment. For example, the teacher would start the page with the overall topic, such as World War I. The teacher could also offer categories such as important people, events, battles, causes, effects, etc and the students would add important information. Basically, the students would create the review. This essentially becomes a web design using technology. || __Collaboration and Communicate__- working in a team and being responsible for a set of knowledge and relaying that to team members || 1. Have students collect water quality data at a local creek using Vernier probes. Real-time data collection could include pH, temperature, dissolved oxygen, turbidity, and various chemical indicators. This could then be added to the state and national data base for water quality. 2. Use a wiki to connect to other classrooms in the nation who also are collecting water data. Share stories about local water issues (shortages, flooding, etc.) 3. Investigate local water issues by having a Skype session with Soil and Water Conservation District personnel. 4. Use Voice Thread to create a video about the importnace of water quality worldwide and how important it is to preserve this natural resource and hypothesize about the source of pollution. || __Critical Thinking & Problem Solving__- reflect critically on learning experiences and processes || 1. Use a Voice Thread that allows students to reflect on a field trip experience, lab experiment or a current event. 2. Students could use a blog to reflect on a real-life issue such as oil spills, natural disasters, global warming, renewable energy, etc. Students would be able to learn from their classmates by reading their blogs and making comments. 3. Students could use Google Docs to input experimental data using the spreadsheet tool and could use the document tool to type-up a lab report. Students could use the presentation tool to present their findings. || Collaborate with Others 2. Students tabulate results and create graphs, charts, and frequency distribution tables. 3. Students compile their results with the results from the class and compare results to see how the groups numbers change compared to their own. 4. Have students enter their tweets into a Wordle to visually see their results. || Researching the topic, drawing conclusions, brainstorming solutions Collaboration and Communication - Working as a group cooperatively, positively contributing to a group, sharing responsibility, communicating opinions and findings, and sharing these ideas with others. || 1. Have the students research the topic of global warming - is man the cause or is it the natural cycle of the planet.Once the students have used the internet to research the topic and formed their opinions, group them in like minded groups. 2. Students can then use blogs, wikis, skype, distance learning lab, to gather opinions and facts from around the world. They could compile their data into spread sheets they can also create graphs to show trends. 3. The students could continue to debate their findings via voice thread or blogs. 4. The students could create public service announcements to inform the public of their findings - depending on their opinion this may offer the opportunity to problem solve - what can we do to help the situation. || Utilize multiple media and technologies and know how to judge their effectiveness communicate effectively in diverse environments || Introducing students and teachers to alternate communication methods and media. For example using open office or google docs, spreadsheets and presentations because these are accessible from just about anywhere. Introducing them to the use of wikis to collaborate on many items such as projects or discussions. Also learning to distinguish between fad Web tools and those that will be used on a regular basis. || __Work creatively with Others__ View failure as an opportunity to learn; understand that creativity and innovation is a long-term, cyclical process of small successes and frequent mistakes || 1) In collaborative groups, present students with a rich, authenic problem and provide databases, graphing applications, spreadsheets to use as tools to solve the problem. 2) Using voicethreads, wikispaces, provide students to opportunity to collaborate with other groups to see what they did to solve the problem. 3) Using discussion groups and voicethreads, have students describe what they did right or wrong when solving the problems. || Collaboration (Using instruction to inform, instruct and motivate. Also, demonstrating shared responsibility for collaborative work and valuing individual contributions made by others.) || Students collaborate to decide upon multi-faceted research on an historical event in the past 20 years. They complete their own research on this topic and invite members of the community(parents, relatives, friends, interested parties) to use their own voicethreads to ask questions and/or add their own perspectives to the information that has been gathered. This should result in a project representing diverse opinions and viewpoints, in addition to historical facts about the event. || **// Communicate Clearly //** * Articulate thoughts and ideas effectively using oral, written and nonverbal communication skills in a variety of forms and contexts  2. I like giving students a problem an having them figure how to solve the problem and by using voice thread and some other technology, I would like them to share the ideas with other students as well as community leaders for real world experience. 3. I do a job interview section each year and i would like to have the students do their own research in finding their jobs as well as the companies. It would also be great if the students could be interviewed by real HR people via skype. || Students use digital media and environments to communicate and work collaboratively, including at a distance, to support individual learning and contribute to the learning of others. Students: a) interact, collaborate, and publish with peers, experts, or others employing a variety of digital environments and media. || // Be Flexible //* Incorporate feedback effectively // Communicate Clearly // Along the same line of thinking, my juniors write persuasive essays using research on a controversial issue of their choice. I would prefer to have debates, but the attendance rate makes this very difficult. If they posted their papers on wiki, they could have online discussions about the different topics and debate over the internet. || > || a. || design or adapt relevant learning experiences > that incorporate digital tools and resources to > promote student learning and creativity. || Buckeye Local || 2.B Model and promote the frequent and effective use of technology. || Communicate technology use and show creativity of technology. || Use of technology throughout the school day. Communicate through emails and instant messenger. Also use mobile devices to complete tasks. Using ipods/ipads for teacher observations. || Buckeye Local || 1.b. Engage students in exploring real-world issues and solving authentic problems using digital tools and resources. || With the emphasis on core content and continuity of learning skills, the incorporation of global awareness and financial and civic literacy needs to be addressed to prepare the student for the 21st century workplace. || I find that when I have referred to an event from the news in the community, state, or world, students have very little knowledge of what is going outside of THEIR world, unless it is sports related, and even then it is limited. Instead of journaling on an internal issue (What was the best day of your life and why?), I am going to try to explore the outside world with the students: explore a news event from various sources, set up a wiki or a voice thread and see what strategies can be explored to either solve the students' questions or support their thoughts. I believe this will start the ball rolling to have students move beyond what is going on in their immediate surroundings. || the students would research using a variety of sources and creat a monthly budget based upon real advertisements and authentic information. the students would then present their findings to the class through a powerpoint slide show the project would be evaluated by the teacher for 50% of their grade and peer evaluated for 50% based upon the viability of their findings and ability to work within a budget || __Collaboration and Communicate__- working in a team and being responsible for a set of knowledge and relaying that to team members || - Lead students in an activity such as building roller coasters and recording procedures, measurements along the way. - Allow students to collaborate with each other through a wiki, podcast, video or discussion board throughout the building process. - Allow each group to make several trial runs, taking measurements of velocity, speed, height, etc throughout the trial runs - Have each group share their building procedure, measurements and results through graphing on Excel, PowerPoint, podcast, video or other multimedia presentation - Talking and communicating WITH the instructor through discussion boards and wikis will allow learning to take place OUTSIDE of the classroom || I would like to use podcasts, voice thread, wikispaces and blogs. || > Teachers understand local and global societal > issues and responsibilities in an evolving > digital culture and exhibit legal and ethical > behavior in their professional practices. Teachers: a: > advocate, model, and teach safe, legal, > and ethical use of digital information and > technology, including respect for copyright, > intellectual property, and the appropriate > documentation of sources. || critical thinking, communication and collaboration || using any piece of the internet. not may students go to the library to look up information for a project or homework. our students need to be able to give credit where it is do. to do this,I try to do it will all of the presentations I use. working on projects, I may ask students to bring in a picture related to their assignment, and then be able to cite, or even take us to the website to see the material and related materials. || Critical Thinking - reflect critically on learning experiences and processes. || I would like to "beef up" the RAFT activity that was shared with me at the end of the school year through the use of technology. Here is a link to a description of the RAFT activity []. The RAFT Strategy is a writing technique that allows students a creative approach to demonstrate their understanding. The technology would come into the format portion of the RAFT activity. Students could use a slide show, voice thread, video etc... to demonstrate their understanding. || Learning and innovation skills are what separate students who are prepared for increasingly complex life and work environments in today’s world and those who are not. They include: • __**Creativity and Innovation**__ • Critical Thinking and Problem Solving • Communication and Collaboration || I have several assignments (genetic diseases, ecological issues, etc.) that allow students to pick their own specific topics with in the larger idea. I provide them with a rubric so they know exactly what points they need to investigate and then allow them to create their own way of demonstrating their knowlege. I think access to a wiki space would allow students a way to share key points of thier information so that others could keep track of the information and make connections between different, yet related topics. ||  ||

Students have to share many of their papers, give speeches, etc. I think it would be neat to have students post their papers (maybe on wiki?) and have other students respond with feedback. Compliments could give them more self-esteem when presenting their papers, and constructive criticism could help them make their papers more ready for publishing. From this format, we could easily submit them to contests, online journals, etc.

When it comes to an issue as online learning we have nothing like it. It may solve other issues or start discussions that lead to solutions - zero calamity days, PD requirements, district wide training. Integration will become an issue with the districts SIS and assessment tools. ||
