<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 180%; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">8:30-9:30 Common Core PBL (Project Based Learning) and TEch

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 180%; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Elements of Project Based Learning - In Depth Inquiry, Driving Question, Need to Know, Voice and Choice, Revision and Reflection, Public Audience. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 180%; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> 21st Century Skills along with Significant Skills

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 180%; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">PBL = How you teach content (Common Core) <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 180%; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> Common Core = The What that you teach

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 180%; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Driving Question/Challenge- student friendly, open ended, drives to end product. (How can we design a pool that meets specifications and falls within a budget?)

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 180%; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Need to Know- Why do students need to know? (Possibly create an entry field trip to help students understand why they need to learn a particular concept.) A concept that generates the need to know for the students. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 180%; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> Edmodo

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 180%; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">21st Century Skills- at the heart of PBL.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 180%; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">In Depth Inquiry- Researching and answering questions but also creating their own questions and answering them. Higher level thinking skills. Evaluating multiple sources. Solving problems.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 180%; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Voice and Choice - Leads to engagement and involvement. No choice in the what that is taught (Common Core) but choice in the method to assess. (Choose the level of accuracy appropriate ti limitations on measurement...)

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 180%; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Revision and REflection - what didn’t I learn, how can I improve, etc.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 180%; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Public Audience - Not just for class. Moodle. Other organizations, students in another state/country, published on Wikipedia, Blogs, etc.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 180%; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">BIE.org...On line project oriented that are free with tech. integration. On line project libraries.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 180%; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Takes 3-5 years to convert to PBL. A transformational process. It will increase Rigor. It enhances Relevancy. It is Engaging.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 180%; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Here There and Beyond 1-1 programs. PA, CA, New Zealand. Goal to place tech in hands of students. Teachers reluctant. Focus on marzanos strategies. Observational data showed greater student engagement. Data showed increased scores in writing. PA school has one to one net books. Should have involved teachers more as well as parents in prep.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 180%; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">West Chester PA... Conservative BOE. Policy allowed students to bring their own laptops to start the move to one to one. Targeted classrooms low level math, SPED, ELL. Insurance is critical as is teacher buy in, including teachers who do not have laptops. Highly dependent on the teacher. Data showed increased engagement and learning.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 180%; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">School 2 Home Program in Riverside, CA. Middle School. Components are computers, teacher training, and parent training. LMS was coach and teacher and used iSTE standards. Students have access 24/7. Involved parents in communication with school and child's education. Parents and students involved together in training. Increased collaboration by students on projects. Insurance obtain at much reduced rates.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 180%; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Pt England School New Zealand. Lowest socioeconomic school and need for improvement in literacy. Main question is What needs are we meeting? Pedagogy ... Learn, Create, Share. Data since 2008 shows move from 1st stanine to meeting national norms. thought of the device as the students pencil, not their book. Parents pay $15/month and if can't afford they may work to pay for it. Google apps for education.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 180%; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Q and A ... <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 180%; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> What would you do differently? Take a year for planning and prep. To prepare students and staff to put the ducks in a row. Don't take away tech. From those who are using it. Involve the admins. More to help make the teachers more accountable. Make sure supervisors are trained so they can support the tech. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 180%; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> What's the best thing from one to one? Stakeholder involvement and buy in. To see the student engagement and the learning that takes place outside of the classroom. Students are more self determining within the parameters set by the teacher. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 180%; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> What is done to support the teachers as changes a made? Facilitators and coaches. After school teacher development programs. On line communities. Professional learning communities, common planning time. Be very concrete with what we expect teachers to do as far as what we want our students to learn.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 180%; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">The Tech Savvy Principal - Facilitated by 5 building based admins. Tech savvy means working smarter instead of harder. Start with the why. Why utilize technology. Not tech for the sake of tech. Just because a teacher is wonderful with a specific tool does not mean that all should have the same tools. Modeling is essential. The tool is not used in isolation. tech. Takes what we are already doing and makes them better.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 180%; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Q and A

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 180%; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">How do you reduce teacher apprehension? Model the use of tech. It needs to be nonthreatening. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 180%; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> Is it reasonable to expect the principal to do the modeling? Yes, but you probably want to ween off of that as teachers need to take on the leadership role. Build their capacity. Focus on several things for all to do well. Differentiation for staff is as important for staff in regards to tech as it is for kids. PD for staff ... Learner led so that teachers let you know what they need. Teacher leads must become the models for the others. We should NOT simply mandate the use in the classroom, however, they may not opt out. Don't spend a lot of time on the reluctant tech teacher.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 180%; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Rats! Just was removed from the session as there we're to many people in the session.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 180%; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Integrating Indiv. And Whole Group Instruction - OK, this is a sales pitch for Mimio. I am outta here.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 180%; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">kCreating a 1-1 in Elementary Classroom ... Students Take Charge of Their Learning - photo story, Skype, presentations/audience, speed cards instead of flash cards, Windows, Smartboards, 4th grade girl ... Wow.
