‘Fulfilling the Potential – Transforming Teaching and Learning through ICT in Schools’

The aims for the next stage of development will be to ensure that for all schools:•ICT makes a significant contribution to teaching and learning across all subjects and ages, inside and outside the curriculum; •ICT is used to improve access to learning for pupils with a diverse range of individual needs, including those with SEN and disabilities; •ICT is used as a tool for whole-school improvement; •ICT is used as a means of enabling learning to take place more easily beyond the bounds of the formal school organisation and outside the school day; and •ICT capabilities are developed as key skills essential for participation in today’s society and economy.

At the core is a student centered, project and problem based

teaching strategy that is tied to both content standards and

school wide learning outcomes.

CHALLENGE

PBL instruction is not as linear as traditional instruction. How canwe organize our project materials for student access, action, self-direction, and project management?

15

108319 _Macros

Getting and Assessing 21st Century Knowledge and Skills

The Project Briefcase allows teachers to put all project materials in one spot for easy student access and to share with other teachers.

16

108319 _Macros

Getting and Assessing 21st Century Knowledge and Skills

All items are immediately and dynamically published to the web for access to the curriculum anywhere, anytime.

17

108319 _Macros

Getting and Assessing 21st Century Knowledge and Skills

They include everything from the entry document that launches the project to the rubrics used to assess the student’s performance.

18

108319 _Macros

Getting and Assessing 21st Century Knowledge and Skills

Teachers can easily lock items from the student view.

19

108319 _Macros

Getting and Assessing 21st Century Knowledge and Skills

Teachers can easily lock items from the student view.The Briefcase holds individual

project documents. It can contain text, images, web links, and links to other NTH tools.

20

CHALLENGE

How can we help students stay on task and develop self-direction?

21

108319 _Macros

Getting and Assessing 21st Century Knowledge and Skills

The Course Agenda helps keep complicated projects organized.

22

108319 _Macros

Getting and Assessing 21st Century Knowledge and Skills

Teachers enter activities for each day including links to resources and homework assignments.

23

108319 _Macros

Getting and Assessing 21st Century Knowledge and Skills

Like the other tools, this agenda also publishes to the web for students and parents to view anywhere they have a web connection.

24

108319 _Macros

Getting and Assessing 21st Century Knowledge and Skills

CHALLENGE

How can we better hold students accountable for their collaboration skills while working in a group?

25

108319 _Macros

Getting and Assessing 21st Century Knowledge and Skills

At the end of each project, students evaluate their group members using this collaboration rubric database.

26

108319 _Macros

Getting and Assessing 21st Century Knowledge and Skills

Students submit evaluations using a standardized rubric for the whole school.

27

108319 _Macros

Getting and Assessing 21st Century Knowledge and Skills

Students can view how their peers rated them (although the evaluations are anonymous).

Teachers can view, edit, and delete evaluations as necessary. They can also print a report that averages the evaluations for a given project.

28

108319 _Macros

Getting and Assessing 21st Century Knowledge and Skills

The evaluations are accessible on the web.

Students have the option to “publish” the evaluations for use as evidence of their collaboration skills.

This is the key to allowing students to demonstrate their performance of our learning outcomes.

29

108319 _Macros

Getting and Assessing 21st Century Knowledge and Skills

CHALLENGE

How can we capture evidence for skills such as Oral Communication so that students have something to put on their portfolios?

30

108319 _Macros

Getting and Assessing 21st Century Knowledge and Skills

The Presentation Database is a place to record and display evaluations of student performance on presentations. Collecting data on our learning outcomes is critical for the student’s Professional Portfolio.

31

108319 _Macros

Getting and Assessing 21st Century Knowledge and Skills

The evaluations are accessible from the web after the student has marked the evaluation “public”.

32

108319 _Macros

Getting and Assessing 21st Century Knowledge and Skills

CHALLENGE

How can we give students and parents clear feedback on student performance that better reflects our authentic assessment practices?

33

108319 _Macros

Getting and Assessing 21st Century Knowledge and Skills

What do traditional teachers do with a major research paper that has been turned in late?

34

108319 _Macros

Getting and Assessing 21st Century Knowledge and Skills

More than likely, the teacher will take off points for each day the paper is late.

ASSESSMENT

35

108319 _Macros

Getting and Assessing 21st Century Knowledge and Skills

More than likely, the teacher will take off points for each day the paper is late.

As soon as the teacher puts that lowered grade in the grade book, we lose important data about the skills and abilities of the student.

ASSESSMENT

37

Getting and Assessing 21st Century Knowledge and Skills

Using the NTH Gradebook, teachers can enter multiple grades for each assignment.

They can accurately record that the paper was late without losing data on how well the student understood the content.

CHALLENGE

How can we give students a way to demonstrate their proficiency on the learning outcomes and then how can we assess them?

The resulting portfolios are as diverse as the student body but with similar layouts and organization to aid in evaluation by staff and community members.
