A powerpoint presentation about 21st century learning and using iPads to share learning in math.

1. Vision for the 21st Century
Math, Technology and Documentation in
Kindergarten
By: Emily Klimchuk (Rodgers)

2. 21st Century Learners
 According to NCTE (2013), students
must:
◦ “develop proficiency with the tools of
technology”
◦ “create, critique, analyze and evaluate
multimedia texts”

4. Will Richardson and the 21st
Century
 Students must :
◦ ask questions
◦ work with others to find answers
◦ do real work for real audiences
◦ add to the storehouse of knowledge that
the web is becoming (2012, 61)

5. DigitalLiteracy
 BC Digital Literacy Standards
◦ Illustrate and communicate original ideas
using digital tools
◦ Engage in learning activities from multiple
cultures through email and electronic
means

6. Assessment and 21st Century
 “Shift our assessment of students’
mastery to ones that examine mastery
in action” (Richardson, 2012, 88).
 “This isn’t about delivery. In a
word, it’s about discovery”
(Richardson, 2012, 60).

7. Assessment and 21st Century
 Changes in BC Curriculum:
◦ Shift from reporting to communicating
student learning
◦ Support meaningful communication
between teachers, parents and learners
◦ Move toward meaningful
descriptions/collections and
demonstrations of student learning

8. What are students already
doing?
 Using iPad apps to practice math
concepts (Hungry Fish, Candy
Crush, etc.)
 Using manipulatives to
explore, create, demonstrate and
collaborate
 Sharing their learning with classmates
through informal discussions or group
meetings

9. As Will Richardson says…..
Lets “get a little crazy and add some
technology into the mix” (126).

10. Potential Apps
 Show Me
 Skitch
 Skioory
 Screen Chomp
 Explain Everything
 Draw and Tell
 Book Creator

12. Example - Skitch

13. Example – Show Me
 Show Me Example (embedded on
web)

14. Benefits of using iPads
 “Being able to hear a student explain
his or her thinking is a transformative
event” (Burley)
 Reflection and rethinking (Burley)
 Visuals
 Opportunity to capture and share
learning that would otherwise be
cleaned up and put back in the bin

15. Beyond Our Classroom Walls
 Posting learning to blogs
 Parents and other students can
comment
 Use data from another class at a
different school to solve problems
 Engage in a collaborative problem
activity by connecting to other classes
anywhere in the world

16. Next Steps…
 Which app will you choose?
 Decide how students will use this app
– Will iPads be available during
centres? Who will be in charge of the
ipads (students or teacher)?
 How will students share their learning?
– Projector? Apple TV? Blog?
 Can you connect with another class?
