Please estimate how often you use technology in your classroom curriculum:
              I use the Internet, Word, and Power Point mostly. I also use a document camera, which is
             connected to a television.
            Smartboard but it is limited.
            I have used wikis in my classroom, and use many of the other tools in preparing lessons for my
        students (such as YouTube, blogs, Google Docs, and social bookmarking)
            Social networking (post assignments and tips on Facebook account)
            Video/audio recording and editing
            Internet as research tool
            LCD Projector, computer (used very often for PowerPoint and keeping track of student data
        through Excel), class website through yola site to help students write a research report
            SMART board (limited use), ELMO, Mac computers
            Moodle
            Internet Research
            Edu blogs
            Gohrw website that goes along with my text
            Webquests
            When I was in the classroom 2 years ago, we used Skype to connect with students in England and
        Tanzania. We discussed cultural differences and different problems they faced. Very often I would
        use the LCD projector to show a Powerpoint slide show to model their assignment or to enhance
        their notes, show student projects, and relevant internet clips or photos that added depth to the
        lesson. I started using Blackboard for students to have access to missed assignments, handouts, or
        grades. I did not spend very much time building my class home page but could see the potential for it
        becoming a greater tool for the students.
            Vernier software and probes, SMART Notebook software and tools, Elmos
            Adobe Illustrator, Google Sketch Up, Movie Make
            Interactive SmartBoard activities
            Online Databases
            My students develop many projects on their own using a variety of tools that they have learned
        about in other classes or taught themselves.
            UTube, google, Online reference databases, projector (online), powerpoint
Please list three tools you would like to learn more about this summer either
from the list above or write in a tool not already listed:
            Podcasts, and wikis. There are many items on the list that I have not heard of yet.
            For example, Scratch, Prezi, Wordle, Backchannel, and Animoto.
           All of the above.
           Podcasts, blogs, Google Research Tools
           I would like to learn more about an online tool that allows for communication
        between myself and my students, including assignments, useful links, grades, a blog, etc.
           Wikis
           Google research tools
           Podcasts, Animoto, Prezi
           Podcasts, Backchannel, Antimoto
           I would like to learn as many tools as will be valuable for me and also apply those
        that I can.
           I would also like to learn about powerpoint presentations.
           I have used Moodle but want to be more proficient as it is required in my school.
           I have also used edublogs but want to be more proficient.
           In the past I have used school notes and webquests as well.
           Google Docs and Google Research are both important to better understand
        because of their relevance to so many aspects of teaching- for students, colleagues, and
        administration to gain and share information more effectively. I would like to learn
        more about Blackboard or other similar programs.
           Podcasts, online portfolios, movies
           Photoshop, Dreamweaver.
           Video editing tools, publishing tools, presentation tools
           Online reference databases, blogs, google research

In an Age of Ubiquitous
      Information
We are preparing students for jobs:

-that don’t exist yet
-that use technologies that haven’t
been invented
-that will solve problems we don’t
even know about
So, creativity can help...

    But, what is it?

Substance Abuse Lecture
Original First Slide



• Over 50% of high school students have tried an illicit drug by the time they
   graduate (Johnston et al., 2003); marijuana is the most widely used illicit
   drug
• By eighth grade approximately 1/3 of students have used an illicit drug
   (inhalants included)
• Alcohol is most widely used licit drug (21% of 8th graders report having
   been drunk, 75% 12th grade)
• Since 1996, slight decline in most illicit drug use (inhalants and prescription-
   type drugs on the rise) (Monitoring the Future, 2005)
• Teens from what SES are most at risk?

• Three themed vignettes to demonstrate key concepts of Substance Abuse
   (SA) and Substance Dependence (SD)
   • Use and Characteristics
   • Peer Influence
   • Family
• Not just video, but vignettes focussing on ONE character
   • Provide character intro/info
   • Create conditions for emotion/empathy
• Want students to have an experience that facilitates appreciation (as John
   Dewey would describe):
   •Change in value
   •Broadened perspective
   •Change in significance
   •Shift in attitude
   •Change in meaning, increase in knowledge

•Stories/Video powerful for lots of reasons
•In particular, characters make good stories/movies/video
•How to ensure the character is good:
   •Good acting
   •Flaws - more human and believable
   •Small cast
   •Transformation, both positive and negative
   •Demonstrate and elicit emotion - “the heart of every good film”
   •Worthy antagonist
   •Self-reflection
   •Natural sounding language
   •Extensive biographical info
   •Tension (+ anticipation + emotion = Dewey’s aesthetic experience)

Why 3 x 3 x 3?
Why n x n x n?
Why four sides?

This is not real creativity!
But, creativity is nothing but...

Tweaking knobs
       ^
This is Spinal Tap
All right, sounds easy.

You need to be creative (tweak
 some knobs) to craft teaching
  with technology solutions...
Ah, but technology and
creativity have a two-way
      relationship...
...that is, technology often
requires creativity, but it can
    also enhance creativity.
Technology Requires
                                                                   Creativity




Producing the most important new products and
services depends on maintaining the worldwide
technological lead…But that kind of leadership
does not depend on technology alone. It
depends on a deep vein of creativity that is constantly
renewing itself, and on a myriad of people who can
imagine how people can use things that have
never been available before…

Information technology confers leverage to creativity. By
abolishing the advantages of scale, it has leveled the
competitive playing field. It overturns the conventional
wisdom that knowledge is power. It's really creativity,
amplified, that creates that power... technology
provides a powerful amplifier for creativity.

                                                         Student Performance




Research on teachers’ personality traits and behaviors
has produced few consistent findings (Schalock, 1979;
Druva & Anderson, 1983), with the exception of studies
finding a recurring positive relationship
between student learning and teachers’
“flexibility,” “creativity,” or
“adaptability” (Berliner & Tikunoff, 1976; Schalock,
1979; Walberg & Waxman, 1983).

    Please estimate howoften you use technology in your classroom curriculum: I use the Internet, Word, and Power Point mostly. I also use a document camera, which is connected to a television. Smartboard but it is limited. I have used wikis in my classroom, and use many of the other tools in preparing lessons for my students (such as YouTube, blogs, Google Docs, and social bookmarking) Social networking (post assignments and tips on Facebook account) Video/audio recording and editing Internet as research tool LCD Projector, computer (used very often for PowerPoint and keeping track of student data through Excel), class website through yola site to help students write a research report SMART board (limited use), ELMO, Mac computers Moodle Internet Research Edu blogs Gohrw website that goes along with my text Webquests When I was in the classroom 2 years ago, we used Skype to connect with students in England and Tanzania. We discussed cultural differences and different problems they faced. Very often I would use the LCD projector to show a Powerpoint slide show to model their assignment or to enhance their notes, show student projects, and relevant internet clips or photos that added depth to the lesson. I started using Blackboard for students to have access to missed assignments, handouts, or grades. I did not spend very much time building my class home page but could see the potential for it becoming a greater tool for the students. Vernier software and probes, SMART Notebook software and tools, Elmos Adobe Illustrator, Google Sketch Up, Movie Make Interactive SmartBoard activities Online Databases My students develop many projects on their own using a variety of tools that they have learned about in other classes or taught themselves.

    Please list threetools you would like to learn more about this summer either from the list above or write in a tool not already listed: Podcasts, and wikis. There are many items on the list that I have not heard of yet. For example, Scratch, Prezi, Wordle, Backchannel, and Animoto. All of the above. Podcasts, blogs, Google Research Tools I would like to learn more about an online tool that allows for communication between myself and my students, including assignments, useful links, grades, a blog, etc. Wikis Google research tools Podcasts, Animoto, Prezi Podcasts, Backchannel, Antimoto I would like to learn as many tools as will be valuable for me and also apply those that I can. I would also like to learn about powerpoint presentations. I have used Moodle but want to be more proficient as it is required in my school. I have also used edublogs but want to be more proficient. In the past I have used school notes and webquests as well. Google Docs and Google Research are both important to better understand because of their relevance to so many aspects of teaching- for students, colleagues, and administration to gain and share information more effectively. I would like to learn more about Blackboard or other similar programs. Podcasts, online portfolios, movies Photoshop, Dreamweaver.

  • #35 Given the possibility that students may perceive that they already know what they need to about substance abuse (given its relative “commonality”, e.g. students have seen movies about it, had related educational experiences, or may know somebody with substance abuse problems and associate all substance abuse issues with this one personal case), it is an especially appropriate lecture to target, since they may tune-out even more.  However, even if students are paying attention, research has demonstrated that “students of all ages hold quite stubbornly to their misconceptions, even after considerable instruction that explicitly contradicts their misconceptions”

Tracy is clearly flawed Tracy transformed overtly. Jackson (1999) described emotion as the filter through which Dewey expects all experiences are screened, as well as the key ingredient to hold the different elements of an experience together. Students recounted myriad emotions from Tracy, at times in great detail and depth in an open ended question about how they felt for her; indeed the character succeeded wildly in eliciting emotion from this particular class.

Besemer and O’quin: Organic Disordered – Ordered Arranged – Disarranged Organized – Disorganized Formless – Formed Incomplete - Complete Elegant Graceful – Awkward Repelling – Charming Coarse – Elegant Attractive – Unattractive Refined – Busy Complex Intricate – Straightforward Simple – Complex Plain – Ornate Complicated – Uncomplicated Boring – Interesting Understandable Meaningful – Meaningless Mystifying – Understandable Intelligible – Unintelligible Clear – Ambiguous Unexplained – Self explanatory Well-Crafted Skilful – Bungling Well made – Botched Crude – Well crafted Meticulous – Sloppy Careless – Careful In the context of teaching, this is the TPCK model. Takeing into account context, constraints, student differences, etc. does the creative solution result in a whole.

  • #62 Linus Carl Pauling (February 28, 1901 – August 19, 1994) was an American chemist, peace activist, author, and educator. He was one of the most influential chemists in history and ranks among the most important scientists in any field of the 20th century[1][2]. Pauling was among the first scientists to work in the fields of quantum chemistry, molecular biology, and orthomolecular medicine. He is one of only 4 individuals to have won multiple Nobel Prizes.[3] He is one of only two people to have been awarded a Nobel Prize in two different fields (the Chemistry and Peace prizes), the other being Marie Curie (the Chemistry and Physics prizes), and the only person to have been awarded each of his prizes without sharing it with another recipient.[4]

  • #92 50 years later, the new commission on the skills of the amercan workfoce is echoing what Guilford predicted: This is the idea that technology is often “repurposed” for new uses. Or, that technologies are created and then uses are derived. Military use to commercial use, to educational use. How much does the technology change? Not usually that much. But, how we use it changes a lot. This applies to software like Moodle or Wordpress, which have several updates, plug-ins available all along.
  • #93 Or, can technology actually enhance creativity? John Kao seems to think so… Knowledge isn’t power anymore. Knowledge is everywhere and instantly available. It is what you do with that knowledge that matters. That’s where creativity comes in. AND, the specific reason JP Guilford called for more creativity in schools, is that
  • #95 The, I looked a little deeper: Everybody uses it.

(Ward et al, connections associating or combining ideas and making connections ) Creating new connections in combination, Everything is INTERCONNECTED is some way on the Internet Ward et all talked about exploratory stage - evaluating the idea from different PERPSECTIVES or within different contexts Chase chance and creativity (Austin, 1978) - blind chance, SERENDIPTITY, luck of the diligent, self-induced luck - Web is full of opportunities to find this accidentally Most major theories of CT involve an iITERATIVE process, and GOOD web searching does too, Spiro. Geneplore Model of CT (Ward, Smith, and Finke, 1999) - Creative cognition: Generate Ideas: (1) retrieval of existing ideas from memory; (2) associating or combining those ideas; (3) the synthesis of new ideas; (4) transformation of existing ideas into new forms; (5) analogical transfer of ideas from one domain to another; and, (6) categorical reduction of ideas. The exploratory phase may include: (1) searching for novel or desirable attributes in an idea; (2) searching for metaphorical implication of an idea; (3) searching for functionality of an idea; (4) evaluating the idea from different perspectives or within different contexts; (5) the interpretation of ideas as possible solutions to problems; and, (6) identifying practical or conceptual limitations to an idea.

Well, for me, it was technology. I’m a former technology director, and saw how technology helped to bring about creative classroom projects. But, I wondered, can the technology itself help to plan the projects?

  • #103 Something strange becomes abruptly or surprisingly familiar.
  • #107 Take as many pictures as you can. Try several different techniques, different angles, frames, and methods to disguise the item being photographed. Think about what your camera can do, (how much it can zoom in or zoom out, if you can insert it through openings to get interesting angles, etc.) to help you decide your item to be photographed. (For instance if your camera cannot take extremely closeups, choosing a small item may be the wrong way to go). You can use camera “features” too.
