The document discusses the 10/3 Instructional Model which focuses on (1) power standards that are the most essential standards students need to learn, (2) using Web 2.0 tools like blogs, wikis and podcasts to make content more engaging for students, and (3) preparing students for future technologies like constant connectivity, 3D environments, cloud computing and simulations through integrating practices like mobile apps and online simulations.

1. The 10/3 Instructional Model

2. 10.1 Power Standards

3. What Are Power Standards? Prioritized standards that are derived from a systematic and balanced approach to distinguishing which standards are absolutely essential and which ones are simply “nice to know” A subset of the complete list of standards for each subject area and represent the “safety net” curriculum.

4. Power Standards Are: The standards that each teacher needs to make sure that every student learns prior to leaving the current course.

5. What 10.1 Means to You: Your course must be aligned to best in class text/standards for an average of 10 modules/lessons .

6. 10.2 Web 2.0 Technology

7. What is Web 2.0? A term used to describe the trend in the use of World Wide Web technology and web design that aims to enhance creativity, information sharing, and, most notably, collaboration among users.

8. Web 2.0 Tools Are: Proprietary: WIMBA Pronto, Classroom, Voice Tools; Learning LX Blogs, Wikis, Podcasting Freeware: Vokis, ToonDoo, GoAnimate, Glogster, Animoto, etc.

9. What 10.2 Means to You: The web 2.0 tools that you use through us (proprietary) and that you import on your own (freeware) must be engaging for the 10/1 content.

10. 10.3 The Future and Web 3.0

11. What is Web 3.0? Web 3.0 has not been clearly defined by the Technical world, but its uses include: Constant Connectivity: Mobile devices, handheld games, Wii, etc 3D Environments: Second Life, Habbo Hotel, etc. Network computing : software as a service, “cloud” computing Simulations : PHET simulations

12. What 10.3 Means to You: Whether it is a mobile app, poll everywhere assessment, and/or a PHET game you should be integrating towards Web 3.0 with design and practice.
