Strategies are proposed for overcoming barriers, including establishing expectations, incentivizing course redesigns, and recognizing faculty authorship as a form of teaching and scholarly activity. The document advocates for institutional policies that honor the time needed to develop high-quality digital content, such as course releases or sabbaticals, to fuel innovation in this area.
This document discusses differentiation strategies and technology tools to support differentiation. It defines differentiation as ensuring all students grow as much as possible each day. Teachers can differentiate instruction according to student readiness, interests, and learning profiles. Strategies discussed include pre-assessments, flexible grouping, tiered lessons, anchor activities, choice boards, graphic organizers, and various technology tools to support these strategies. The goal is to meet all students where they are and help them progress.
An introductory chapter from the textbook, Communication Skills, developed by the Language Communication for Development Department at Bunda College of Agriculture, University of Malawi
This document discusses how teachers can use technology to improve their instruction from proficient to excellent based on the Danielson Framework. It provides examples of tools that can be used for planning and preparation, classroom environment, instruction, and professional responsibilities. Some highlighted tools include apps for standards alignment, learning management systems for individualized instruction, and Newsela for differentiating texts. The document emphasizes using technology to increase student choice, collaboration, and communication with parents and other educators.
A redesign of Rochester Institute of Technology's management system. myCourses allows students and professors to manage grades, course content, and assignment submissions. The current website presented numerous design problems. After conducting a user study, a new interface was designed focusing in their primary needs: dropbox due dates and class information.
This document outlines the details and requirements for a final project called "Taking a Stand" for a course on literacy, instruction, and leadership. The project asks students to apply what they have learned in the course to effect change in their own schools. It involves identifying a need, taking action to address it, gathering evidence of the effects, and reflecting on the experience. Students will then create a portfolio with 5 sections showcasing their project and learning. The sections address how literacy is complex, about effecting change, participatory, identity-making, and involves continuous learning. The portfolio will be submitted and evaluated based on completeness, the details and impact of the taking a stand activity, the quality of artifacts included, and the depth
Using Dropbox in education: 50-million users can’t be wrong!
The document discusses how Dropbox is widely used by students and educators but not officially endorsed by colleges due to privacy and security concerns. However, alternatives like the internal college folder system are less user-friendly and accessible across devices. Studies show using tools like Dropbox in blended learning improves student outcomes. While security issues exist, there is little evidence Dropbox is riskier than popular social media. Schools need to embrace changing technology to stay relevant in students' mobile world.
1. Technology to Enhance the
Implementation of CCSS
Content Literacy Standards

Kris Krautkremer
2. What are we learning?
This presentation will center on five literacy
strategies:
• Golden Lines
• Marginalia
• Think alouds
• Read alouds
• Anticipation Guides
3. In what context?
Specific ways to use the iPads to implement
these literacy strategies will be modeled
through two lessons:
• 5th grade Ecology lesson
• Biology 1 Genetics lesson
4. Why use iPads?
The emphasis is using iPads to engage
students in:
• providing evidence from text
• demonstrating fluency and comprehension
• and assisting with content-specific reading
strategies.
5. What’s changed?
“Science educators must understand the
expectations set by the CCSS in regard to
science. These standards are not asking
science teachers to become ELA teachers;
however, we are being challenged to
apprentice students in the kinds of writing
with which scientists are engaged.”

8. Teachers have questions…..
• I don’t know any literacy strategies. Help!
• Where can I find the text to read with
students?
• What’s the best way to go about this?
• I DON’T HAVE TIME TO TEACH READING
AND WRITING!!
• I need some VERY specific things to do but I
don’t know what they are!
9. Literacy Strategies
All the research regarding scientific literacy lines up with what
science teachers already know.
NRC 2007 NRC 2011 Board on Science

10. Start with the strategies that are MOST
similar to their work.
11. Anticipation Guides
Pre-reading strategy that helps
students:
•Prepare to read a text
•Activate prior knowledge
•Create a sense of anticipation
•Connect background
knowledge to new content
http://adolescentliteracyconsiderationpacket.pbworks.com/f/
Anticipation_Guide_Template.pdf
14. Golden Lines
Helps students:
•Practice identifying the
most important ideas
•Make connections
•Visualize or create non-
linguistic representations
http://files.solution-tree.com/pdfs/Reproducibles_PTAL/Golden_Lines_Template.pdf
16. Marginalia Oldest and most
common strategy.
Yet still one of the
most effective
methods to build
comprehension.
Students interact with the text by:
• Inserting written notes
• Drawings
• Charts
• Alerts, thoughts and ideas in the margin
19. Read-Alouds
A Read-Aloud is a planned oral reading of a book,
article or excerpt from a text.
Read-Alouds:
• Prepare students for success on the SAT and ACT
through increased exposure to rich language and
academic vocabulary used in context
• Develop background knowledge
• Introduce new concepts
• Model fluency
• Activate close listening skills
• Expose students to text that may not be accessible
to them otherwise
23. Think-Aloud for Comprehension
Think-Alouds are used to orally describe
what is going on inside the reader’s head to
make sense of the text.
They make the reader’s thinking visible when
combined with Marginalia.
During this time, teachers model use of
comprehension strategies and over time, these
become a natural part of a reader’s “inner voice” for
thinking.
27. Break
We will transition into two groups after a 5 minute break.
We will have two 15 minute rotations.
Groups will rotate through:
•A 15 minute mini-lesson from 5th grade science on
rainforests
•A 15 minute mini-lesson from Biology 1A on genetics
Everyone will have the opportunity to experience both mini-
lessons.

•
Notability (.99)
• DocAs (4.99)
• Explain Everything (2.99)
36. Notability:
Teachers
can make
comments in the
same way and
send them back
to the students.
37. Notability:
Students can likewise
use these techniques
among each other for
powerful collaboration
with forward-thinking
technology - creating
discussions not only
with one class or one
school but with a
global edge.
41. DocAs:
Teachers
can create
comments
in a variety
of ways and
send back to
students.
42. DocAs:

page.
44. DocAs:
There are several
types of papers
and templates to
choose from and
all your pages can
be the same or
different.
47. Explain Everything:
The main difference between
Explain Everything and Notability
and DocAs is that EE captures
each annotation, drawing and
recording in order. This makes
for a dynamic interactive
lesson, activity or tutorial.
EE offers more of a presentation
or explanation style document.
48. Explain Everything:
Students can
clearly view folders
when importing
and exporting to
and from a
Dropbox account
in Explain
Everything.
