Formative assessment tools
Formative assessment is done as students are
learning.
Summative assessment is at the end (like a

Audio vs. Written Directions
Some of your ELLs may be conversationally
fluent in English but struggle with reading in
this language. In addition to giving them
written directions in English, you can provide a
QR code on an activity sheet or homework
assignment that will link to a URL where they
can hear the directions read aloud for them.

Having mastered one app -- the Show-Me
app -- I have been able to create podcasts for
my students, allowing them to access my help
on their assignments while they are at home
or when I am unavailable for face-to-face
teaching or tutor

The flipped Classroom
Where direct instruction happens via video at
home, and "homework" takes place in class
Drawback:
You can't guarantee reliable, consistent Internet access in
every household
An In-Class Flip : video becomes a station in class that small
groups rotate through. The rest of their time is spent on other
activities - independent work and group work.

Getting to "Seamless" Integration
• What skills are applied to nearly all tools?
Have your students mastered these basic
skills?
• How many different tools will you introduce
this year?
• How will technology help your students better
understand content ?
• What level of integration do you want in your
classroom by the end of the school year?

Arizona Technology Integration Matrix
• The Technology Integration Matrix (TIM)
illustrates how teachers can use technology to
enhance learning for K-12 students.
• Five interdependent characteristics: active,

Editor's Notes

  • #20 Just like any other time that you use technology with your students, you won't be handing them the device and sending them off to create. When it comes to publishing with technology, students should be at the end of the writing process. They've already drafted, revised, and edited their personal narrative, or their group has already come together to plan a presentation of their argument for an opinion piece of writing. I would encourage you to use a graphic organizer like a storyboard to have students plan what they want to appear on each page of their creation. If students are working in pairs or a small group sharing one device, you'll want to make sure they have a plan for who will record the narration for each page. Students can share their digital storytelling creations by sharing a link to their finished product.
  • #25 Each group of students is assigned a task card, and at least one Ipad They don’t have to be familiar with the software to be used since it is very easy to use. Students that struggle with the software are given assistance
  • #29 I rarely assign negative behavior points. My students know that if they earned a negative, it had to be a big deal. I found that positive points motivate my students and have a greater impact on their behavior. Students love getting "dojo" points! They love hearing the sound of a positive dojo, and dread the sound of a negative one. A positive or negative sound has everyone looking at the board and then getting back to work
  • #47 Here's what happened in my classroom. I was teaching my hardest topic of the year -- binary numbers, where students learn to add ones and zeros like a computer. It looks harder than it is, and many of my students will shut down and not even want to try. So I taught how to count in binary numbers, and we worked some examples together. After a few minutes, two students piped up. "We've got this, it's easy," they said. "Can we move on?" I looked at the other students and asked, "Do you have this?" They nodded their heads furiously up and down in a "yes." My teacher instincts said that everyone knew it, but I decided to experiment. So I wrote a problem on the board. Students were already logged into Socrative, and a box opened up on their screens. Each student typed in his or her answer to the problem. They clicked enter, and all of their answers appeared on my screen beside the name of each student. I was floored. Guess how many knew the right answer? Two! Just the two students who had spoken up and no one else!
  • #51 Some of your ELLs may be conversationally fluent in English but struggle with reading in this language. In addition to giving them written directions in English, you can provide a QR code on an activity sheet or homework assignment that will link to a URL where they can hear the directions read aloud for them. You may decide to try this strategy if your students are stronger readers and you want them to practice their listening skills. Another option is to provide audio directions for students in their native language so that they can focus on the task at hand rather than struggle with following written directions.
  • #53 An In-Class Flip works like this. Just like with a traditional flip, the teacher pre-records direct instruction, say, in a video lecture. But instead of having students view the content at home, that video becomes a station in class that small groups rotate through. The rest of their time is spent on other activities -- independent work and group work, with some activities related to the lesson and others focusing on different course content. As with a traditional flip, the direct instruction runs on its own, which frees the teacher for more one-on-one time with students. This video shows you how to do it:
  • #54 To begin to move your tech integration to the point where it is "seamless," consider these questions: What skills are applied to nearly all tools (e.g., saving a file, naming a file, finding a file, logging in and out of accounts)? Have your students mastered these basic skills? How many different tools will you introduce this year? How many is too many? How will technology help your students better understand content -- will it push them to a deeper understanding that could not have been achieved without technology? What level of integration do you want in your classroom by the end of the school year? What specific steps must you take to achieve that goal? What is a realistic goal based on time and resources?
  • #55 The Technology Integration Matrix (TIM) illustrates how teachers can use technology to enhance learning for K-12 students. The TIM incorporates five interdependent characteristics of meaningful learning environments: active, collaborative, constructive, authentic, and goal directed The TIM associates five levels of technology integration (i.e., entry, adoption, adaptation, infusion, and transformation) with each of the five characteristics of meaningful learning environments. Together, the five levels of technology integration and the five characteristics of meaningful learning environments create a matrix of 25 cells.
  • #56 Within each cell of the Matrix one will find two lessons plans with a short video of the lesson. Each lesson is designed to show the integration of technology in instruction and classrooms as well as the Arizona Educational Technology Standards.
