10. Consider the first two:
Which standard do you think your students should
review and why?
What is a standard for which you need more
clarification?
OR discuss:
Pick one standard and discuss how it would look in two
different grade levels that are at least 3 years apart.
Think and Share
16. Think and Share
Discuss when constructivist (or directed)
instruction is preferable. What evidence from
students indicates that this may be the best
teaching approach?
21. Think and Share
How does our district promote and support
developing these skills in our students?
What questions do you still have about
digital citizenship, copyright and fair use, or
equitable access do you still have?
We first visualize and plan, and then we create a model school or classroom or lesson.
Such as technology standards, instructional models, tools such as devices and apps, legal and ethical guidelines, role models, and examples
ISTE Standards for Educators describe teachers as Empowered Citizens who are learners, leaders and citizens.
We are Learners who continually improve our practice to sharpen our skills to better serve our students (ISTE-E, 2017). We are Leaders who support student empowerment and success and improved teaching and learning (ISTE-E, 2017). We are Citizens who inspire students to positively contribute and responsibly participate in the digital world (ISTE-E, 2017).
So, we are continually learning and improving collaboratively, and we recognize that we are both professionals and role models.
As Collaborators, we work with colleagues and students to improve practice, discover and share resources and ideas, and solve problems. As Designers, we build authentic, learner-driven activities and environments that accommodate learner’s individual needs.
We Facilitate learning with technology to support student achievement of the ISTE Standards for Students. As Analysts, we understand and use data to drive their instruction and to support students in achieving their learning goals.
So, we collaborate with students as well as peers, to apply our skills, technology tools, and data to effectively help students learn.
Have participants create a table of “Meets” and “Needs”
Students are empowered learners actively leverage technology in choosing, achieving and demonstrating competency in their learning goals (and their choices, methods and products are influenced by their teachers) (ISTE-S, 2016) .
Students are digital citizens who know their rights, responsibilities and opportunities while living, learning and working in the digital environment, and who act right (ISTE-S, 2016) .
Students are knowledge constructors who critically curate resources and use technology to create meaningful artifacts and learning experiences (ISTE-S, 2016).
Students are innovative designers who apply methods when using technologies for creating new, useful or imaginative solutions (ISTE-S, 2016).
Students are computational thinkers who develop and employ problem-solving techniques that leverage technology’s power to develop and test solutions (ISTE-S, 2016).
Finally, students are creative communicators who express themselves using the platforms, tools, styles, formats and digital media appropriate to their goals (ISTE-S, 2016).
And students are global collaborators who use digital tools to broaden their perspectives and enrich their learning by collaborating with others and working effectively in teams locally and globally (ISTE-S, 2016).
Have participants discuss and then create a chart labeled Review and Clarify
Or assign groups a standard to discuss and then create an infographic describing how that standard would appear in two different age classrooms
Gather implementation approaches from Roblyer!!
In both instructional models — behaviorist and constructivist — integrating technology can increase students’ motivation to learn, optimize personnel and material resources, reduce logistical road-blocks to learning, and facilitate developing information literacy skills (Roblyer, 2016).
In Directed Instruction (behaviorist), technology integration can help to boost low skills, build fluency, and support self-paced learning and review (Roblyer, 2016).
(Intentionally left blank)
In Constructivist Instruction, technology integration can facilitate problem-solving and metacognition, build models and promote knowledge transfer, foster collaboration, and allow for multiple and distributed intelligences (Roblyer, 2016).
A blend of both instructional approaches may be preferred. However, groups of students may tilt the needs of a class in one direction or the other, depending on student’s skills and personalities, administrative and parental support, and teacher’s adeptness with behavior management, organization, and skill at teaching for learning.
Participants could sketch a student, labeled with behaviors and skills that would be evidence supporting his or her need for constructivist or directed instruction.
Educators must know, model, and teach ethical, legal and safe digital practices and preserve equitable access. Because our district has been actively integrating technology for more than 10 years, we have typically experienced at least a few training sessions about these topics. You could review or get more detailed information by going to any of the websites on this and the next two slides.
At the U. S. Copyright Office Fair Use Index, educators can look up real cases that my match what they are considering or have seen and are questioning.
The Visual Communication Guy offers an infographic explaining degrees of plagiarism.
Make Use Of explains why you should use Creative Commons and defines their seven license types.
Ensuring we are legal and ethical preserves our digital integrity!
All of these sites are useful to clarify and protect the legal and ethical use of digital media.
Ensuring equitable access begins with strong planning to ensure robust access and ample opportunities to learn and follows up by teaching students how to access technology and where to find help, while flexibly meeting the needs of diverse learners and changing instructional requirements
In addition, we must be mindful that, in all environments, digital and physical, including community interactions, our words and actions are visible to colleagues, students, and their families.
