    Thanks, Michele. The other November Learning docs are helpful too. I especially like the one that helps us look at the impact of our technology use by considering whether it is adding value or making a difference.

Primary Preoccupation - 5 views

    Interesting to hear about using a DS to encourage sharing and taking turns (excellent 21st century skills). I may need to check other resources, but I've never met a DS game that I would call "educational." I feel more led to teach and explore sharing and taking turns and rule building through sharing math supplies - like one set of coveted attribute blocks, or only 3 Lego people at the Lego table....

    I love the experimental nature of this PBL activity. It doesn't matter what the materials are. The children were experiencing, experimenting and solving problems. What better way to teach young children about rules and responsibilities? Often we think of PBL in terms of lengthy projects. This activity shows that this is not necessarily the case. If I were the teacher, I'd spring a similar activity on the children with completely different materials at a later time to see if they could apply what they had learned.

    I agree using a DS would never come to my mind as a tool for learning problem solve Ing skills and sharing but we all have many other materials in the classroom which could serve the same goal. In preschool we would really have to stretch the definition of PBL as they are still acquiring the most basic skills especially language. Preschool teachers still need to be center stage with our little ones under most circumstances.

    This sounds like a great learning opportunity for young students. Would it really be considered PBL? (not sure what the DQ would be, or how rich the content is...or what authentic audience or final product there is) Certainly teaching social skills like these is highly valued! I'm just wondering if it's a nice example of cooperation and student leadership, or if we would call it PBL.

    I liked the progression in the use of technology. Here is another way I thought the lesson could be ramped up and use technology to it's maximum potential... Have students discover landmarks or fun facts about a certain capital and then take virtual tour of that city via Google Earth. Students could take screen shots of the landmarks and write one or two sentences about each one.

    We are right to question the value of technology--especially depending on how it is used. Is it being used because we are told to use it, or is it adding value to instruction? More importantly, are students thinking and feeling more deeply? Some technology is not used to enrich the educational experience.
  •  
    I compared the two sheets. Existing lesson has the students contacting specific people like state leaders and global peers, or other students. The 2nd page which "ramps it up" suggests actively seeking out the opinions and knowledge of others and publishing work on the web. But maybe it's OK to limit the contacts the students are making. Or does safety/security matter anymore?
  •  
    I think that the idea of global learning through technology can be directly applied to the world language classroom. Language learning is really about communication (and the ability to communicate with others around the world), and the integration of technology into the classroom can allow students to form connections with other students throughout the world. I would love to start a twitter interaction with 3rd and 4th grade students and a class in Spain!

Brilliant Integration of the iPad | November Learning - 1 views

  •  
    This is a cool article David shared. I bet some of our children would love to try it this year since many families have iPads at home.
  •  
    I love this. Completely agree with the observation that students are doing this in the safest of places and have control as they decide how many recordings to make and which to submit. What a great portfolio assessment possibility. And parents would likely be in the know since the children are doing this at home...what a great place to start a dialogue with parents about independent reading.

    I would also suggest that you click on the teacher links and the kids' videos.
