I am an advocate of the idea that it is technology that is a tool to increase learning, not the end result. Students gain nothing by just using technology.
"One of the discussions that came up during the morning presentation with the middle school staff was the idea of writing for audience. The traditional model in the classroom has the teacher assign a writing project for students. "
The presentation will describe SCAFFOLD - Scale for
Forums/Online Discussion Assessment. The authors will
describe the SCAFFOLD instrument as a tool for
categorizing and describing contributions. The process for
establishing reliability and validity will be detailed.
This presentation discusses a series of
financial lab exercises that demonstrate to students that finance theory has real value in
the business world, thus linking "abstract" course content to the real world. The
exercises align with Bloom's Taxonomy, starting with acquisition of knowledge goals and
moving toward the development of higher level critical thinking goals.
"The ISTE Classroom Observation Tool (ICOT) (XML) provides you with a convenient platform for recording observations of technology use in classrooms. Checkboxes and pull-down menus allow you to easily record and time a variety of classroom characteristics. ICOT automatically aggregates your data into a table for analysis and presentation. You can work with your records right in ICOT or export them to any software that can read tabular data. Use ICOT to record information on classroom groupings, teacher roles, time and types of technology use, and the NETS for Students.
The ICOT is a macro-enabled Excel workbook that automates many data recording and management tasks. The Visual Basic macros work with most versions of Microsoft Office for Windows and with Office 2011 for Macintosh. Users of eCOVE observation software can obtain a toolset that will allow them to record ICOT NETS and Computational Thinking items on iPad, iPhone, and Android devices. Contact eCOVE directly for information on the NETS/CT toolset.
The ICOT methodology has been successfully adapted for use in a variety of contexts, including projects involving mathematical thinking and cyberinfrastructure research skills. For information on how ISTE evaluation might meet your needs, contact research@iste.org."
