- Making technology the foundation of the BST experience - technology integrated into all aspects of curriculum, administration and learning
- Engineering - showcasing the application of math and science for innovative problem solutions
Plan - Do - Review
What? So What? Now What? If this then what?
- Lectric Library proof of concept - BookSource / Classroom Organizer app - iTouch as scanner, students alpha codes, add books at check out, check in, reports
- school website, teacher pages - custom programming, volunteer written and maintained
- EdLink grading, student records - training, populate, recording, reporting
- Edmodo - reading - parental permission letter approval
- Showcase technologies integration - 5 slides x 3-5 teachers at weekly staff meetings
- subscription content - promote, adopt
- technology tracking - lesson plan reviews
- Engineering in Social Studies - thinking
Continuous improvement
- communication - who needs to know what? information sharing, access, input, response, format, tracking, recording, archiving
- support - infrastructure, direction, responsiveness, training, research, experimentation - who has time / inclination / authority
- privacy, permissions - specific parental permission - signed on file, student alpha codes for "free" web resource registration - BookSource, Edmodo
- professional development - digital literacy, tools ? apps, BST guidelines, Professional Learning Committee, peer coaching
- student digital literacy - objectives, inventory, plan
- computers - location, access, utilization
- subscriptions - applications, content - access, utilization, cost / benefit?
- differentiated learning - technology support ? self-directed, self-regulated
- formal / informal learning - engage, encourage, evidence ? portfolio
- curriculum / technology integration - current status, goals / requirements, planning, implementation
Technology Plan - Dec 2012
adapted from Minnesota Department of Education model school technology plan
Applied technology |
School | Teachers | Students | Evidence |
---|---|---|---|---|
communication | web site, email news, phone | web, email, phone | personal, class, public. written, oral, visual | good communications between community, parents, students, and school, all communications handled promptly and effectively, archived and retrievable as appropriate |
content | facilitate media formats, curriculum aligned | class subscriptions, purchase, access | BYO, personal preference, self-directed | cost effective purchases of curriculum resources. adequate training for utilization. enough devices / technology available to access content available |
capture, compute | school-wide themes, resources, activities |
training, mentoring |
project based learning. differentiated assignments |
engaged learners. application of knowledge to problems, challenges. track progress. adjust difficulty, schedule intervention as necessary. |
cooperate | community participation. enlist volunteers. |
PLC (professional learning community) |
class activities, Learning labs, clubs, school service |
opportunity to work individually, in groups of various sizes. groups by interest. encourage leadership. use technology to monitor and provide support, resources |
support |
infrastructure, direction. |
common core, curriculum, standards |
introduction, instruction, feedback |
comfortable choosing and using appropriate technology for tasks |
- 5 year big picture for school technology - technology integrated into all aspects of curriculum, administration and learning
- administration - communication, program evaluation, ** vision > direction - expectations, guidance, authority/responsibility based on what is possible with resources and time available, priorities - documented and provide direction ** provide learning environments where staff and students have access to digital resources that allow them to experiment and discover the power of being a connected learner [1]
- teachers - productivity, teaching, assessment, professional development, differentiation, model the power of being a connected learner
- students - student-centered, engaging, learning support - Learning Literacies in a Digital Age
planning
6 step planning process - five Technology Focus Areas (TFAs):
- Student Learning (includes technology skills)
- Teacher Preparation and Delivery of Instruction
- Administration / Data Management / Communication Processes
- Resource Distribution and Use
- Technical Support
Planning process
- 1. Technology Needs Assessment - baseline, instructional practice, learning - survey
- 2. Goals and Strategies - objectives / outcomes - requirements, priorities
- 3. Professional Development plan - prototype, ladder, progression
- 4. Evaluation - monitor, measure, revise - rubrics, triggers, evidence
Digital literacies [2] [3] [4]
- Make it - Creativity and Innovation
- Share it - Communication and Collaboration
- Find it - Research and Information Fluency
- Solve it - Critical Thinking, Problem Solving and Decision Making
- Protect it - Digital Citizenship
- Use it - Technology Operations and Concepts
Project idea / driving question - Make technology the foundation of the BST experience
- communication - exchange of information - school, administration, teachers, students, parents, community
- school - website with news, information, comments, feedback, contact information, regular updates. recorded, archive.
- classroom - teacher / student / family - expectations, feedback. assignments, support, foundation, enrichment.
- students - classwork, portfolio
- content - delivery, access - differentiated, student-centered ? home, personal, school
- capture, compute - activities to apply the knowledge - reading, writing, curation, creation, critical thinking, selection and use of appropriate technology
- collaboration, cooperation - roles, responsibilities, milestones, deliverables
Products, performances
- planning documents - project outline, checklists, task lists, action plans with responsibilities and dates
- training, sub-projects
- progress monitoring and reporting
- celebration, achievement recognition
- presentations - frequent, any format, multiple audiences
- TBD - Entry event - kickoff * Assessments * Resources needed * Reflection methods
notes
- The Global Achievement Gap - skills that our students need whether they are going on to college or the workplace - * Critical thinking/problem solving * Collaboration/leading by influence * Agility and adaptability * Initiative and entrepreneurialism * Effective oral and written communication * Accessing and analyzing information * Curiosity and imagination
- International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) NETS.T standards - teachers, NETS.S standards - students - student friendly * Creativity and Innovation = MAKE IT * Communication and Collaboration = SHARE IT * Research and Information Fluency = FIND IT * Critical Thinking, Problem Solving and Decision Making = SOLVE IT * Digital Citizenship = PROTECT IT * Technology Operations and Concepts = USE IT
- National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE) Definition of 21st Century Literacies - * Develop proficiency with the tools of technology * Build relationships with others to pose and solve problems collaboratively and cross-culturally * Design and share information for global communities to meet a variety of purposes * Manage, analyze and synthesize multiple streams of simultaneous information * Create, critique, analyze, and evaluate multi-media texts * Attend to the ethical responsibilities required by these complex environments [5]
- Seven Principles for Good Practice * 1. Encourage student-faculty contact * 2. Encourage cooperation among students * 3. Encourage active/engaged learning * 4. Give prompt feedback * 5. Emphasize time on task * 6. Communicate high expectations * 7. Respect diverse talents and ways of learning
- process - ADDIE - Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation * RAD - collaborative atmosphere and dynamic gathering of requirements. actively participates in prototyping, writing test cases and performing unit testing.
