Classroom Observation Tool optimized for the IPHONE.
C3 is a data collection, collaboration and coaching tool designed to help administrators conduct walk‑throughs, get an accurate snapshot of the classroom, analyze data, and share concepts with staff. It is a web‑based application that can be used with most web browsers, and is optimized for use on an Apple iPod Touch or iPhone. The program is server‑based, which means that all data is instantly available, and there is no syncing required from device to device. The data resides away from the computer or handheld device, so it can be accessed from the Internet with an account login.
Is technology really making a difference for student learning? See how technology is affecting student performance for the Technology Rich Classroom Program in Kansas.
"The mission of School of One is to provide students with personalized, effective, and dynamic classroom instruction so that teachers have more time to focus on the quality of their instruction.
To achieve this mission, School of One re-imagines the traditional classroom model. Instead of one teacher and 25-30 students in a classroom, each student participates in multiple instructional modalities, including a combination of teacher-led instruction, one-on-one tutoring, independent learning, and work with virtual tutors.
To organize this type of learning, each student receives a unique daily schedule based on his or her academic strengths and needs. As a result, students within the same school or even the same classroom can receive profoundly different instruction as each student's schedule is tailored to the skills they need and the ways they best learn. Teachers acquire data about student achievement each day and then adapt their live instructional lessons accordingly.
By leveraging technology to play a more essential role in planning instruction, teachers have more time to focus on doing what they do best - delivering quality instruction and insuring that all students learn."
At ISTE 2010, CDW-G released findings from their recent study that found that just 8 percent of high school teachers said that technology is fully integrated into the classroom; and the technology that is available is primarily used by teachers and not students. As a result, 43 percent of students said they are not - or they are unsure if they are - prepared to use technology in higher education or the workforce.
