The document discusses strategies from Robert Marzano's research on effective classroom instruction and ways to integrate those strategies with instructional technology. Some of the key strategies mentioned include identifying similarities and differences, summarizing and note-taking, reinforcing effort and providing recognition, increasing value in homework and practice, using non-linguistic representations, incorporating cooperative learning, setting objectives and providing feedback, and using questions, cues, and advanced organizers. Specific technologies are suggested for implementing each strategy, such as comparison matrices, summary frames, rubrics, and interactive games and websites.

8. Summarizing and Notetaking Rule based summary- steps for students to use to decide which information to delete or substitute and which to keep

9. Technology Integration Summary Frames- a series of questions that the teacher provides to students to highlight the critical elements for specific types of information (questions taken from Classroom Instruction That Works , Marzano, p. 35-41) The Narrative Frame The Topic-Restriction-Illustration Frame The Definition Frame The Argumentation Frame The Problem/Solution Frame The Conversation Frame

10. Technology Integration Formatting tools- use Word tools such as underlining, bold, font color, highlighting, bulleted lists, outlining, etc.

11. Technology Integration Retelling- use story frames and allow students to retell the story.

12. Technology Integration Jigsaw note taking

13. Technology Integration Paint Programs are great tools for integration

14. Technology Integration Inspiration is an awesome way to help students organize notes.

15. Technology Integration Interactive Notebooks

17. Technology Integration Power Point Games

22. Technology Integration descriptive patterns - represent facts about specific persons, places, things, and events time-sequence patterns - organize events in a specific chronological order

23. Technology Integration process/cause-effect patterns - organize information into a casual network leading to a specific outcome or into a sequence of steps leading to a specific product generalization/principle patterns - organize information into general statements with supporting examples concept patterns - organize information around a word or phrase that represents entire classes or categories of persons, places, things and events

24. Technology Integration Visualizing is an important strategy students need to use when reading or learning new content. Using digital cameras , MovieMaker , United Streaming , paint programs , and Inspiration are a few resources to help students create mental images by stimulating their thinking. The following visualizing project will help students practice generating mental pictures. The visualization project is a five day project that incorporates reading and rereading of a story, visualizing images, sequencing events, retelling the story, and illustrating the retelling of the story. The project is intending to be used with a picture book that contains a strong sequence. Daily project details are listed below. Day 1 – classroom: Teacher shows visualization PowerPoint to class. First reading of story without illustrations (illustrations are not shown to class until the end of the project)

25. Technology Integration Day 2 - computer lab: Students view story in PowerPoint format and reread story together. Students use KidPix or other drawing program to illustrate one event from the story. Students take story home to reread for homework with parent/guardian (Word document) Day 3 - computer lab: Class reviews story sequence together Students use Inspiration to sequence events of story. (sample) Day 4 – classroom: Students retell story while teacher types retell into Word document using projector, class edits when necessary Day 5 - classroom or computer lab: Students are given book pages from the class retelling of story to illustrate (or students use a paint program to illustrate pages) Student pages are scanned and made into a PowerPoint show for classroom computers

27. Technology Integration Part 1 - Students created a picture of their invention using a paint program. Pictures were exported and saved as .jpg picture files Part 2 -Students created a web using Inspiration showing what the invention could do. Pictures were exported and saved as .jpg picture files Part 3 -Students used a Powerpoint template to write a paragraph about their invention The picture and web graphics were inserted into the Powerpoint file.
