Today we’re going to talk about Driving Educational Excellence with TechnologyDifferentiated Instruction and Assessment with Technology Vicki Davis 5013 Spotlight Take a look at learning styles and today's most current Web 2.0 tools to understand what differentiation looks like in a technology enhanced classroom. Learn about the classroom structure that will reach all learners. Madera Wyndham Hotel
And that is what I suggest for you to do today. Your assignment for this webinar today is to come up with your “Big Three” at the end of the webinar. Pick three things – start there!
In the 1920’s and 30’s radioactivity was “all the rage” and everyone assumed because springwater was radioactive that it must be good for you – so here comes the revigator. This revigator cured all kinds of things including arthritis, flatulence, senility, and poisoning. Over 200,000 people bought this clay pot lined with radioactive clay.
However when a team of researchers studied this, they found toxic levels of many chemicals including arsenic and lead from the pure lead spout!
The technology misconception is that it is not about the technology.
People in our society are counting the cost of everything, so when we implement technology, we’d better make sure it is.
That the things we used in school are efficient, effective, and transport us to a better education for our kids.

We can implement technology but it better be for a purpose and not just to look cute, so today we’re going to talk about technology driven differentiation and the other things to make our schools successful.
The technology misconception is that it is not about the technology.
The successful are increasingly individuals who take risks, are good at what they do, and are persistent. This is what we need to create in our classrooms.
I’d like to ask you if Helen Keller were in your school today, would she become Helen Keller? It took one of the greatest teacherpreneurs of all time, Anne Sullivan, to reach and unlock this student!
We can implement technology but it better be for a purpose and not just to look cute, so today we’re going to talk about technology driven differentiation and the other things to make our schools successful, first we’ll talk about the classroom and then a few remarks about administration, which I call the “pit crew”
So, today in pursuit of excellence driven education, we’re going to assemble the classroom car as we differentiate with technology.

Some sort of field of dreams. Some states are building networks for their teachers and finding that the teachers are rebelling and don’t want to go there. In fact, I know of one organization that build a ntework for their IT directors and the IT directors built their own and refused to let the administrators in! Instead,
Elementary schools use private tools (free) tools like think.com to create private spaces for students to network all over the world. Cheryl Oakes from Maine works with this school and tells me she has enjoyed think.com for some time. In fact, my good friend Cheryl couldn’t be here tonight because she’s on Seedlings Bit By Bit on Edtechtalk.com right now – I hope that after tonight, you’ll listen to her new show at www.edtechtalk.com
Every course has a launch page on the wiki – the Google cal is embedded there. Also, if you paste hyperlinks into the description, the hyperlinks are live as well, but it has many more features as well.
For me, my RSS reader includes so much more than just learning but life management – in many ways it has evolved into a PLM – “personal life manager!”

So, the students in 9th grades and up haveigoogle pages, and after adding my google calendar to their Google Calendar, they can use the igoogle widget to show what the work is for that day (they can just show one class.) Also, when you do this, if you type in the hyperlink, they can just click from their igoogle widget to get to the assignment for the day. You can print lovely copies of your lesson plans for a manual or book if you have one. And if you need to move things around, you just click and drag it. Also,

Tools, learning styles, interests, readiness, content, process and environment as it relates to technology that will make our schools more efficient and justify what we are doing with technology.
If we look at arguably the best education system in the world, the Finnish teachers pick books and customize lessons as they shape students to national standards. "In most countries, education feels like a car factory. In Finland, the teachers are the entrepreneurs," says Mr. Schleicher, of the Paris-based OECD, which began the international student test in 2000.
Photo: - Today we’re talking about Teacherpreneurship to an audience of people I would consider teacherpreneurs. I’ve seen your videos and this is who you are, although you may not know it!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Loutherbourg-Spanish_Armada.jpg – Wikimedia Commons – Teacherpreneurs are to the floundering educational system what the English were to the spanish armada – the agile, deal creators and makers. Teachers must be agile, able to customize their environment to the students they teach.
We’ll start off talking about the classroom and then make a few points for administrators..

So, when I came back to Camilla, I started using wikis with my students immediately and sat down in my classroom to begin blogging. I turned to a student and said, “I have to create a blog and I have to name the thing – what should I name it?” The students sitting there said, “Well, Mrs. Vicki, you’re cool and we’re the wildcats, so, why don’t you call it the cool Cat teacher blog
And that is what I suggest for you to do today. Your assignment for this webinar today is to come up with your “Big Three” at the end of the webinar. Pick three things – start there!
