- 13. Save the Last Word for Me • Begin by reading the text carefully • Mark three or four passage that you find compelling in some way - you might not quite understand them, you might strongly disagree, you might think it’s a critical idea that you agree with
- 14. Save the Last Word for Me • Start with the a volunteer • Volunteer reads passage • Each person in the group has one minute to respond to that same passage. Nobody else can speak. • At one minute, the speaker stops, whether done or not.
- 15. Save the Last Word for Me • Repeat the process for each person on the team. • Share passage • 1 minute response, move to next person • 3 minute final response
- 16. 30 minute break

Editor's Notes
- “We’re in a technology tsunami…. maybe some of you feel like that sometimes.” How do we make it work for us? NEXT SLIDE: When technology becomes ubiquitous.
- NEXT SCREEN: Protocols for Blended Learning
- What is blended learning? Usually entails some work together and some work online. What we will do today 1. What are protocols 2. We will work through a face-to-face protocol “Save the Last Word for Me” 3. Take that protocol online Next steps and further resources NEXT SLIDE: Photos of students (what do they have in common)
- What do all of these photos have in common? Conversation NEXT SLIDE: What do these have in common? Technology
- What do all of these photos have in common? Technology. Could be doing schoolwork NEXT: Essential question
- How can we incorporate online learning experiences into the classroom? Will not address the why at this point except to say that there is a substantial body of research that addresses the potential of blended learning to personalize learning. NEXT: Protocols
- 1990s school reformers A protocol consists of agreed upon guidelines for a conversation, and it is the existence of this structure -- which everyone understands and has agreed to -- that permits a certain kind of conversation to occur -- often a kind of conversation which people are not in the habit of having. Protocols are vehicles for building the skills and culture necessary for collaborative work. Thus, using protocols often allows groups to build trust by actually doing substantive work together. features of protocols long associated with experimental science, computer science, social science, medicine and diplomacy - protocols - prearranged constraints designed to sharpen communication, enhance collective thinking, and build knowledge NEXT slide: Critical friends example
- Next slide: Why protocols
- BRAINSTORM - Ask participants Why use a protocol? •A protocol creates a structure that makes it safe to ask challenging questions of each other; it also ensures that there is some equity and parity in terms of how each person's issues are attended to. The presenter has the opportunity not only to reflect on and describe an issue or a dilemma, but also to have interesting questions asked of him or her, AND to gain differing perspectives and new insights. Protocols build in a space for listening, and often give people a license to listen, without having to continuously respond. • •In schools, many people say that time is of the essence, and time is the one resource that no one seems to have enough of. Protocols are a way to make the most of the time people do have. • •Finally, it is important to remember that the point is not do the protocol well, but to have an in-depth, insightful, conversation about teaching and learning. NEXT: Characteristics
- Time Norms NEXT: Save the last word for me
- Developed by a teacher to use in her online graduate course where students struggled with complex theories written in academic language they might not be accustomed to reading. When we have things that we aren’t sure we understand, we might be uneasy to share our interpretation. This might mean that some important element of a text can be overlooked. This protocol encourages students to zero in on passages that they find puzzling or particularly interesting or challenging. IT asks everyone in the group to risk an interpretation of the text. Everyone learns something about the text as different interpretations emerge without engaging in debate or premature conclusions. Nobody is put on the spot for what could be a misinterpretation. All misinterpretations are a step on the way to clarification next: website url

- Can take up to 2 weeks was developed for use in asynchronous discussion forums of classes up to 20 students Divide class into two groups with a different group playing the posting role each week Students have online access to all texts (or in class access for blended learning) and the online directions must provide students with enough time to read the texts prior to posting their first comment in the discussion forum. Teacher may separate question forum for directions.
