 Learning:
         Engage
 and Empower:

Students create
multimedia content
and share it with the
world
Assessment: Measure What Matters:

  ◦ Technology-based
   assessments that combine
   cognitive research and theory
   about how students think with
   multimedia, interactivity, and
   connectivity make it possible to
   directly assess these types of
   skills.

  ◦ This can be done within
   the context of relevant societal
   issues and problems that people
   care about in everyday life.

  ◦ Systems can be designed
   to capture students’ inputs and
   collect evidence of their
   knowledge and problem-solving
   abilities.

Research
Brief
This process uses Latent Semantic Analysis (LSA)
a mathematical/statistical technique—
to create computer models that can be used to assist in the scoring of
written responses. The computer‐assisted process requires extensive
scoring of written responses by trained human scorers using a well‐art
iculated scoring rubric.
Research shows that the computer‐assisted scoring used by CLA is as
accurate as or more accurate than human expert scoring.

Open Computer Testing
7) Calculate the frequency of radiation with a wavelength
of 115 nm. Show work or indicate specific solution
method (reproduce text entered in command line of
Wolfram). (3 pts)

       [Wolfram is the general solution method, although
failure to understand the relationships between photon
wavelength, frequency, and energy often leads to incorrect
answers. Here a case where one needs to understand how
Wolfram structures this particular "knowledge" to get the
correct answer]
   For Schools, OCT provides a vehicle to prioritize
    and drive instruction toward 21st century
    skills, applied thinking, and better preparation
    for future careers.

   For Teachers, OCT entails rethinking assessment
    and designing ―google-proof‖ questions which
    demand higher order thinking and information
    literacy and assess more lasting understanding.

   For Students, OCT when well designed is
    rigorous, and more authentic, more
    motivating, and requires greater information
    access, analysis, and application skills, better
    organization, and stronger real-world
    problemsolving skills.

Prepare 3 slides, each with a use, current or
emerging, of technology which supports these six
   core components of schools of the future.
       Insert the slide in the right section.
     Each slide should feature one use, an
 image/logo, a link, and no more than 8 words,
 Be prepared to discuss/explain your slide in no
            more than 20 seconds.
