Essential Questions

1. What can effective planning with technology look like?

2. How do we support our teachers in their planning in this digital age?

3. How might TPACK support our work?

? ? ?

Goals

Examine current work in AISI through the lens of planning effectively with technology.

Have an understanding of TPACK and its implications for AISI and our classrooms

Sharing our learning within our AISI community.

Answer your questions.

Welcome and Catching Up

Choose a candy Find two other people in the room that

have the same candy. Find a place in the room where you can

have a conversation

Discussion:

Guiding questions are in your package

Questions to the group or to us should be posted on Wall Wisherwww.wallwisher.com/wall/AISIApril

TPACK

What do you already know?

Our AISI Model and TPACK

Insert TPACK slides here

Introducing TPACK

Choose a subject area:› ELA› Social Studies› Mathematics› Science

Tables are labeled with subject area cards› Sit at a table with your subject area› Maximum 6 people/table

TPACK

Each person at your table:› Record an outcome from your program of

studies on the recipe card provided› Place these recipe cards in a pile of their

own

Outcome + Pedagogy

Using only your outcome and pedagogy cards:› Select the TOP/FIRST card from the

outcome pile and the TOP/FIRST card from the pedagogy pile

› Do they work together? Why or why not?› Repeat until you have gone through

the decks.

Outcome + Pedagogy + Technology

Using your outcome, pedagogy, and technology cards:› Select the TOP/FIRST card from the

outcome pile, the TOP/FIRST card from the pedagogy pile, and the top card from the technology pile

› Do they work together? Why or why not?› Repeat until you have gone through

the decks.

What did you notice about your process with all 3 sets of cards?

Now check your understanding of TPACK with your poster

Break for 10 minutes

Stay with the same subject area.

Go to the designated room for your subject area (check wiki).

Activity TypesPlanning for technology integration

PART 1: What are Activity Types?

Remain with your subject area small group

You will receive an envelope with your subject area of choice

Sort the contents under the appropriate curricular headings provided

Glue onto chart paper when done

Scan the Example Technologies connected with the curricular goals

Highlight the “Example Technologies “ in terms of:› Red (never heard of it)› Yellow (heard of it, never used it)› Green (used it)

Check your answers: http://activitytypes.wmwikis.net/

Part II: Applying the Activity Types to Lesson Planning

We are now going to apply our learning to lesson planning

You will be given a lesson› The outcomes have been determined› The pedagogy has been selected

Find a partner to work with

1. Use the sheet provided in your agenda package today to record your thoughtsa. Highlight the verbs in the outcomes.b. Look at the pedagogy within the lesson

2. Look at the Activity Types sheet provided:a. What type of technology is suggested for a

lesson like this? b. Adjust the lesson to incorporate

technology ~ how would you incorporate technology?

With the lesson plan provided:

Group Debrief

You were provided with the outcomes and pedagogy of a lesson: › Describe your experience of trying to

incorporate technology in this lesson (What challenges did you have? What opportunities did you see?)

How do you think technology has enhanced this lesson in terms of student engagement? student learning?

Move back to your Critical Friends’ Table in the boardroom.

Reflecting With Critical Friends

Questions:1. What is needed to integrate technology effectively into our teaching beside the technology? (Set IT concerns aside)2. What implications does this have for your AISI project currently and for future direction?

Process:a. choose a leader who will open the following link:

www.typewith.me

b. the leader will invite each member of the critical friend group

c. the leader will type in the two questions

d. Each person types in their own responses

e. Import/export your final answers to each question into Microsoft Word - Save as 2 files (each question), paste each question individually into a Wordle ~ www.wordle.net

f. Debrief - each table shares their 2 "largest" ideas

Levels’ Meetings

K-12 - Caribbean B Elementary Schools #1 – Boardroom Elementary Schools #2 – Caribbean A Middle Schools – Bermuda High Schools – Boardroom

12:15-1:00

News n’ Notes

Bloom’s Taxonomy and TPACK

Blooms Taxonomy In The Digital World

Technology and Bloom’s

Groups of 4 - each group assigned a different level of Blooms Taxonomy (http://visualblooms.wikispaces.com/)

1. Explore a minimum of 2 tools in your level of Blooms (one has to be new to you) within that level OR they can introduce a tool they already know that fits within that level

2. Create "something" that explains to teachers what this tool does and how it is useful for your level of Blooms. (note: we will ask for

the links or products you have created to put on the AISI wiki)

What is the tool? HOW would you use this tool within this level (Illustrative

example)? Would this tool be appropriate for other levels in blooms and if so

how?

Virtual Gallery Walk

Leave one person at the table who will explain your tools

Must visit each level of Blooms

Record reflection on sheet provided

Rogers Diffusion of Innovations

Anticipated Challenges“Characteristics that help move a new idea forward in schools”

(, 1995)

Relative Advantage (Why Change?)– The extent to which infusing technology into assessment and instruction is perceived as being better than present practice will assist with how it is implemented in your school. How could this be communicated or demonstrated?

Compatibility (How does this connect with what is already going on in our school?) – how will your staff perceive infusing technology into assessment and instruction as an AISI project? Does it link with other practices already occurring?

Complexity – if infusing technology into assessment and instruction is perceived as being too complex, difficult or time consuming, it will not be moved forward within your school. How can you communicate and demonstrate that this work is achievable and beneficial?

Trialability (How might you start “slow?)– the extent to which your staff can “try out” infusing technology into assessment and instruction before committing to full implementation. As you move all staff forward in AISI cycle 4, each individual will have their own needs. How could you address this?

Observability (How might classroom observation/team teaching/coaching be integrated?)– If infusing technology into assessment and instruction can be “seen in action” it will more likely be adopted in your school. How could this be done?
