    This seems to be like a great tool. It uses Google Maps which is a tool older students should learn how to use anyways. However, it is an interactive tool that allows students to add pictures and animations. I could see this being a great tool for a humanities class or even a science class.

      Students take owernship in their learning if technology is naturally part of their learning experience.
  • f you want to know if your students grasp enough of a particular concept before you move on, you can use tools such as Poll Everywhere, Socrative, or Mentimeter to get a quick snapshot of the class.
  • In addition, Evernote is a powerful note-taking tool that can be accessed through any Internet-enabled device through a web browser or the mobile app. It allows users to record audio notes, and it can be a great way to provide personalized feedback to students.
  • Our students are constantly immersed in technology, yet that does not mean that they know how to use it for learning. We also cannot assume that they know how to use it responsibly either.
  • we must take the time to explicitly teach about cyberbullying, copyright, plagiarism, digital footprint, and proper conduct online.
  • It is worth your time to spend some time early in the year setting expectations for online conduct, use of information found online, and staying safe when using digital tools. For more on teaching digital citizenship, you can visit BrainPOP, Common Sense Media, or Edutopia's Digital Citizenship Resource Roundup.

  • you now have the ability to not only view the document, but to make revisions or comments along the way.
  • Instead of emailing documents back and forth (which is a huge pain with many opportunities for confusion) teachers can go quickly to Drive, find and open the student’s paper in the Drive table of contents, and make “live” comments and corrections on the student’s paper.
  • To make a comment simply highlight a section with your cursor and click the “comment” button.
  • Just select File > See Revision history and click on any date/time.
  • If it’s too much detail, click on Show less detailed revisions.
  •  File > Download as… or simply choosing File > Print.
  • You can explore many tools for teachers at the Chrome store.

  • The information obtained could then be used to modify teaching and learning activities with the goal of helping improve student comprehension.

  • Socrative is an easy to use and engaging way to assess student learning.

      Tutorial for Socrative.
  • Assessments can include traditional, open response or multiple choice quizzes, exit tickets, and even the fast paced Space Race group activity.
  • This assessment tool allows me to push out a multitude of questions via a form – which is much like a survey. Student answers then populate into a spreadsheet – and that is where the fun begins.
  • Ask quiz questions to compare evidence of understanding with student self assessments.
  • Students can use their Chromebooks to play this active and absorbing game.

      Create formative assessments through Google Form for each reading strategy taught. This can be used to create small groups based on need.
  • Students give feedback about their understanding in private and in real time. This means teachers can identify needs as they occur.” Justin Mann, the app’s developer, told me during a recent meeting.
  • adding colored backgrounds to answers that are wrong, so that I can instantly pinpoint which kids are grasping the concepts and which ones need further intervention
  • This technique, which I learned from an innovative educator, Jennie Magiera, allows me to quickly differentiate my instruction as I get real time information about student comprehension

      We had one staff development day when teachers taught teachers with many options for learning....we need this option on every SD day. Some teachers are already doing great things with tech. tools and we need more opportunity for teachers to learn from each other and see how tools really work in classrooms.
  • Technology should be a tool to reach an educational goal, not the goal itself
  • Many school and district leaders feel uncomfortable with educational technology because it's so different from their own educational experiences
  • give his teachers flexibility with technology to experiment and use the tools in ways that work best for their teaching styles and their students
  • encouraged to take risks that are in the best interest of students and to know we're not going to be punished for it
  • understanding "that it doesn't always lead to instant success

  • learning is both an active and a social process
  • learning is both an active and a social process
    • jessvanorman
      jessvanorman on 24 Mar 19
       
      Learning is active, requires doing, could learn a lot in a PD session where teachers just CREATE or DO things with tech they could actually do in their classroom.
  • Second, professional development must be developmentally appropriate. No two teachers are the same in their knowledge of content, instruction, and students, or in their experience in applying that knowledge to the classroom. Teachers must be supported at their current position on the journey from novice to expert. Professional development must start with the teacher and build on her/his current concept of teaching and learning and his/her goals and needs.
    • jessvanorman
      jessvanorman on 24 Mar 19
       
      Knowing this- how could we differentiate professional learning for teachers? How could we create tech PD that'd be meaningful to all- google surveys?
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • Finally, professional development must allow teachers to take charge of their own professional growth. Teachers are professionals, not skilled laborers. Like all learners, teachers will only be impacted by those ideas in which they deliberately chooseto engage. Teachers must be afforded the respect to set their own course of development and be encouraged to actively monitor their own progress.

      Give choice- a menu of tools so people can choose what they are learning? A menu of skill levels to choose from too?
  • Of particular importance is the role of collaboration in professional development. In nearly all studies of professional growth and change in classroom teaching, the presence of other colleagues who are attempting to do the same is the most consistent predictor of success
    • jessvanorman
      jessvanorman on 24 Mar 19
       
      People learn together and grow together, but also learn from each other. This needs to be implemented in our tech PD.
  • Third, professional development takes time. The advantage of thinking of teaching as a skill is that training can happen quickly, often in the matter of weeks.
    • jessvanorman
      jessvanorman on 24 Mar 19
       
      It'd be great to have sessions that we can learn something... go try it... then come back and practice/reflect to keep learning with the tech/new tools.
  • Perhaps the best way to take advantage of the opportunities available through technology-mediated professional learning is to integrate e-learning into a balanced professional development program that combines formal face-to-face learning experiences optimally followed by online and one-on-one support, “just in time” training and development, and collaborative work on those tasks that most directly influence the quality of teaching and learning
    • jessvanorman
      jessvanorman on 24 Mar 19
       
      In face learning, with tech tools- could possible set up a Google Classroom "Forum" for teachers to ask questions and get further help when they are using the tools after PD. A please to drop questions and get support from "expert teachers."
