[HANDOUT] Taking it Deeper: Exploring the Ramifications of Technology on Place-Based Learning

Reflection: Geocache Name: ____________________________ Think about the question you found in your cache. Below, write for a few minutes about your thoughts. These won’t be published, so don’t fret about complete sentences, punctuation, etc. However, do be prepared to share your thoughts orally with the group. Reflection: Developing a Critical Tool for Evaluating Classroom Technology Name: __________________________ We have been charged by the conference coordinators to create a takeaway tool—a rubric, a checklist, or something similar—that will help educators evaluate the positive and negative impacts of incorporating a certain technology into their classroom. The tool will be distributed to all conference participants. This is SUPER AWESOME FUN. (i.e.: What an authentic use of your time, experience and talents!) In groups, we’ll be brainstorming what this tool might look like. We’ll use your geocache reflections and the keynote information to help. Below, you’ll find some questions you may want to consider. Remember that there’s no right or wrong answers to these questions. The goal is to create something that is actually useful to you and your colleagues. What form should the tool take? (Rubric? Checklist? Something else?) How will the tool help teachers tie learning outcomes explicitly to the use of the technology? How will the tool help teachers see all the negatives and positives of using the technology? How will the tool help teachers see what kinds of negatives and positives are involved in the technology? How will the tool help teachers decide if the affordances of the technology outweighs the costs?
