Using Technology with Classroom Instruction that Works Day

Using Technology with Classroom Instruction that Works Day 3 Dr. Jennifer Parker-Moore Janice Harding Macomb Intermediate School District

Good Morning! Welcome to Day 3! Please set up your laptop Download Google Chrome Load http: //techbestpractice. net Load the Google Doc backchannel from our previous strategies – review and update/add any tools you missed • Be ready to share one story about how you used what you learned from our previous 2 days together • • •

Think/Pair/Share • Salsa Lineup • Share one story about how you used what you learned from our previous 2 days together • Share the good, the bad, and the ugly

Back Channel & Review • Review the Back Channel • Obtain your assignment for a T/P/S • Share out tools and uses to support the category

Day 3 Agenda Overview • Q&A • Content Overview • Framework for Instructional Planning Helping Students Extend and Apply Knowledge • Identifying Similarities and Differences • Generating and Testing Hypotheses Review

Key Working Agreements • • • Respect confidentiality Share airtime Keep sidebars to a minimum Respect start, breaks, and end times If it rings, dings, or sings – put it on vibrate or silent

Learning Objectives Day Three By the end of the learning session, we will: • Know the categories of strategies that comprise the component of Helping Students Extend and Apply Knowledge, • Understand the classroom recommendations for each of the strategies, • Make connections between and among the strategies, and the technology tools that support them • Transfer the learning into specific changes in your pedagogy that you will apply in the next two weeks.

Identifying Similarities & Differences Based on materials found in the text, “Using Technology with Classroom Instruction that Works” and 21 things 4 teachers. net

Framework for Instructional Planning Setting Objectives and Providing Feedback Cues, Questions, and Advance Organizers Nonlinguistic Representations Summarizing & Notetaking Assigning Homework & Practice Reinforcing Effort and Providing Recognition Cooperative Learning Identifying Similarities & Differences

Identifying Similarities and Differences Comparing, classifying, creating metaphors, creating analogies Ex: Venn Diagrams, word and picture sorts, visual tools or web formats, online interactive games

Best Practice: Identifying Similarities & Differences Teach a VARIETY of ways to identify Guide students in PROCESS Provide SUPPORTING CUES

Teacher Directed Notes • Complete the TDN for this strategy after reviewing pages 118 -119. • Brainstorm in the workspace a technology tool and lesson idea to support Compare, Classify, Metaphors, and Analogies • Think/Pair/Share the answers

Identifying Similarities and Differences • • Compare Classify Metaphors Analogies Good teachers: • Teach ways to identify similarities and differences • Guide students in the process • Provide cues Source: Classroom Instruction that Works, 2 nd ed.

Tech Tools for these Strategies Identifying Similarities & Differences • Word processing applications • Organizing and Brainstorming software • Data Collection and Analysis • Database and Reference resources UT-CITW, 2 nd ed. , pg. 12 -13; Chapter 8 (183 -203).

Visual Organizer Tools

Hands-On: Using Gliffy for “Comparing” Comparing the characteristics that are unique and shared • Create a Venn Diagram using Gliffy

Using Charting/Graphing Tools to “Compare” Data/Trends • Graphs and Formulas • Column Comparisons • Plotting Points • Trends for Multiple Years

Word Processing Tools

Hands-On: Using Word Processing for “Classifying” Create a table for arrangement by class or category • Word or Google Docs • Tables, Flowcharts, Smart Art, Images Sport Equipment Season Basketball Ball, court shoes, net, hoop, court Winter Golf Clubs, spike shoes, tees, markers Spring, Summer Image

Hands-On: Using Images and Shapes for “Analogies” A comparison of two things based on their structure or similarity A is to B as C is to D Clipart, Images, and Shapes Hot is to Cold as Night is to _______

Hands-On: Using Thinkfinity for “Metaphors” Comparing a situation to a real thing For Example: • Drowning in a sea of grief • Feeling blue • Broken hearted Locate Metaphor worksheets and activities using Thinkfinity

Today’s Learning Objectives • Know the categories, strategies, and technology tools that support best practice using the “Classroom Instruction That Works” framework (aka Marzano 9) • Understand the classroom recommendations and integration for these strategies • Make connections between the strategies and technology tools • Transfer the learning into classroom instruction to improve student engagement, achievement, and technology proficiency

Generating & Testing Hypotheses Based on materials found in the text, “Using Technology with Classroom Instruction that Works” and 21 things 4 teachers. net

Framework for Instructional Planning Setting Objectives and Providing Feedback Cues, Questions, and Advance Organizers Reinforcing Effort and Providing Recognition Cooperative Learning Identifying Similarities & Differences Nonlinguistic Representations Summarizing & Notetaking Assigning Homework & Practice Generating & Testing Hypotheses

Generating and Testing Hypothesis System analysis, problem solving, decision making, historical investigation, experimental inquiry and invention Ex: Researching, reference tools and citations, graphic organizers, content area tools, inter-actives

Generating and Testing Hypothesis • Systems analysis – Analyze how parts interact • Problem solving Participants will be researching new technology and best practice. – Overcoming obstacles to meet goals • Investigation – Explore an area where there is confusion or contradiction • Experimental inquiry – Generating or testing explanations Source: Classroom Instruction that Works, 2 nd ed.

Best Practice: Generating & Testing Hypothesis STRUCTURED tasks EXPLAIN hypotheses, predictions, conclusions

Teacher Directed Notes • Complete the TDN for this strategy after exploring Interactive Learning tools. • Locate an interactive example and lesson plan idea for Systems Analysis, Problem Solving, Experimental Inquiry, and Investigation • Create a classroom example • Think/Pair/Share the answers

Tech Tools for these Strategies Generating & Testing Hypotheses • Organizing and Brainstorming software • Data Collection and Analysis • Instructional Interactives UT-CITW, 2 nd ed. , pg. 12 -13; Chapter 9 (204 -219).

Systems Analysis • How the parts of the system work together

Problem Solving • Process of overcoming barriers to reach goals

Experimental Inquiry • Developing and testing possible explanations of observations

Investigation • Looking into alternatives or justification in the way we handle a process, protocol, or idea

Other Sample Activities • • • Mind mapping and flowcharting Digital narratives using primary sources Budgeting and Personal Finance Data collection to establish trends Digital Citizenship and Critical Evaluation

Hands-On: Primary Access • Create a login on Primary Access • Explore the four categories of resources available within the site • Create a digital story using primary resources • Share with your table partner

Hands-On: Gooru http: //www. goorulearning. org • Free Search Engine for Learning • Millions of resources for 5 th-12 th grade science, math and social science courses at our fingertips.
