If you need a big picture view to support you with technology intergration this is a great resource. It is an overview of the Edutopia professional development guide for integrating technology tools in the classroom.

We will be using this this document for completion of the technology enhanced UBD Unit Plan. I will explain the assignment on Oct. 11. Cue questions related to the six thinking skills in Bloom's Taxonomy are purposely constructed to ensure students are stimulated to respond at all levels of the cognitive domain, especially the higher levels. Students may be asked to respond through quick writes, learning logs, tests, creative writing that answers the six levels of prompts, role-audience-format-topic (RAFT) activities, or other writing or speaking activities.

This wiki will be previewed on Oct. 11 and will provide the background information for creating and/or revising one assessment that includes an image(s) that require learners to respond to open-ended questions.

This is a short video taken at the ISTE 2012 conference that provides an overivew of the purpose and materials found in the Visual Assessment Wiki.

A data visualization tool -- the old form of infographics...

This link is to the meta-analysis done by Brotman and Moore. And the citation for their paper: Brotman, J.S. & Moore, F.M. (2008). Girls and science: A review of four themes in the science education literature. Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 45(9), 971-1002. If you are at all interested in pursuing more information on the research and literature on science education and gender... their list of references is extensive... they've done the leg-work through 2008. Enjoy.

This is the link to the AAUW report from 2010 in pdf format. Happy Reading.
