  1. Teaching with Technology…and more! Cindy Pino, 2012 Ambassador for Excellence

  2. Let’s look at how to energize the classroom • Know that it all starts with YOU • Infuse technology, a wide range of activities and alternative methods of assessment • Consider the importance of the Common Core Standards (CCS)…no matter what your content area

  3. Think of this presentation like a diner would think of a buffet line I will give you a taste of a whole bunch of options…and you decide what you would choose for a 2nd helping

  4. You…..matter

  5. Some key components • Let them know who YOU are • Know who THEY are • Smile…the first day • Be organized, energized, flexible • Make connections to real life • Keep in contact with parents • Mix it up

  6. Start class immediately with… a video inspiration… a laugh… a quote… a brainteaser… • According to a research published in a -- -- -- -- -- issue of The Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology academic journal, it was one-third more -- -- -- -- -- at stopping a unrelenting cough than a placebo. • Modern - Efficient • Recent - Effective • Contemporary - Resourceful • Current - Inventive • Existing - Creative a journal reflection… a bell ringer…

  7. During class, make sure to… Give positive, specific feedback Have a connection to every student in the class at least once Walk around the room… ? Give examples with modeling… Celebrate success… Pose questions, pause, and then call on a student to answer… Whole group practice… Individual practice…

  8. At the end of the class…and afterward Save time for closure, even it’s a quick one Reflect on your lesson – what will you modify for the next class? What should you spend more time doing? Check for understanding Take a deep breath and get ready to start again

  9. Sometimes, if you are around long enough, you see a teaching philosophy, pedagogy, practice….. return or return with modifications

  10. But Technology…. Well, you just better keep up… ’cuz there ain’t no going back!

  11. Technology in an early 1980’s School

  12. Ten Years Later: 1992

  13. Technology in the early 1990’s

  14. Moving Forward: 2002

  15. Technology in early 2000’s

  16. My students today:2012

  17. Technology today……

  18. More Technology today…… • Most communication with parents is completed with emails or group emails. • Parents and students can access grades on-line. • Assignments (with attachments of hand-outs) are on-line. • Schools have websites, as do the individual teachers. http://ww2.chandler.k12.az.us//Domain/3400

  19. Student Produced Work Today Let’s start with something easy: Vocabulary • Learning definitions, synonyms, antonyms, prefixes and suffixes • Use the words correctly in sentences and in writing pieces.

  20. Capturing a vocabulary word by using a cell phone or digital camera Euphony Parallelism Pacing Pathos Vocabulary PP\Junior AP Period 1Vocabulary Slide.ppsx

  21. Learning how to use the dictionary with a worksheet of exercises

  22. Another lesson in Using the Dictionary

  23. Your Students Can Learn How To Design an Almanac Page

  24. Teaching Fallacies in Argument Fallacious Reasoning Skit Instructions: In the great short play,Love is a Fallacy, we saw how fallacious reasoning is not limited to our AP class but can penetrate any portion of our lives. In addition to a host of examples from the media, we can also find faulty logic in other disciplines. Political campaigns, scientific debates (cloning, DNA testing, animal rights, etc…), historical events, and pop culture events provide us with rich examples of people being swayed by faulty emotion and reasoning. Your Task In groups of 3-4 you will create and stage a short play which employs all the fallacies listed on our hand-out. The subject of the skit is completely up to you and you are encouraged to create props/sets to provide as much realism as possible. In addition to the play itself, you must, in some way through the presentation, show us what fallacy you are demonstrating.

  27. Introducing a new topic/concept Instead of the old, traditional method of teacher lecture and student note taking, how about infusing a little technology? • How about having the students conduct a Web Quest? http://zunal.com/webquest.php?w=68364 • How about having the students research a sub portion of the topic and contribute to a Power Point presentation?

  28. Research Papers • Research papers (no matter the length) are an important component of many classes. Students demonstrate many skills, including the use of technology: • Surf the Internet or Data Base for material • Choose appropriate cites (.org/.edu instead of .com) • Take notes, organize material, write outline • Write paper and use internal citations • Prepare a Works Cited page How can a student share his or her work with the class? Vide\VIDEO_TS\VTS_01_0.VOB

  29. Factoid Friday • Students choose a “controversial” topic to research. (death penalty, illegal immigration, genetic testing) • Every other Friday, students present 1 fact about their topic. • First Quarter- Narratio -Background of their topic, indisputable facts that are not argued by either side. • Second Quarter – Confirmatio – Facts to support the stance they take • Third Quarter – Counter Argument – the other side’s facts • Fourth Quarter – Qualifier – the “gray area” that softens the stance • At the end of the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Quarter, videos are made, an infomercial, to present the information

  30. Some Cautions • Don’t let go of the basics: the reading, the writing, the vocabulary, the speaking. Just consider infusing the technology as an added component. • Use an anti-plagiarism website, such as turnitin.com to check for authenticity. You need to be one step ahead of your students. • Preview Everything – don’t be surprised by the subject matter or language of any media, films, Power Points. • Know your audience! What is appropriate in some school districts might be frowned upon in others. Always err on the side of caution. • Have a back-up plan. Technology is a beautiful thing, but it can have problems: the internet can go down, a computer can fail, a program is not readable on all computers. • Offer choices for integrating technology. Not all students have access to the technology you are asking them to use. How can you meet their needs? Or, what alternative method can you offer?

  31. Did the students do their reading? • Check for understanding • Marking the text • Dialectal journals • Quizzes, tests • Essay answers • And…how about listening to them talk about it?

  32. A Socratic Seminar or Fishbowl • A chance to evaluate students’ understanding of the text • A chance to allow students to listen to their peers • A chance for the teacher to take a backseat to the discussion Socratic Seminar

  33. Now, let’s consider the future • Common Core Standards- 5 things every teacher should be doing to meet the CCS • Lead High-level, text based discussions • Focus on process, not just content • Create assignments for real audiences and with real purpose • Teach argument, not persuasion • Increase text complexity See hand-out 2012 Eye on Education, Inc. Larchmont, NY

  34. What if every classroom on the campus incorporated this?

  35. Step 1 – Choose Complex Text Preparation for reading “The Odyssey” in 9th grade Want to caution against the pre- judgment of another culture What content are you studying? How can you incorporate additional reading into your lesson? Informational article entitled “Nacirema”, a strange culture with very odd customs….until the reader figures out what Nacerima really spells Find a magazine or newspaper article, section of textbook, editorial. Consider the text complexity. We must push students towards reading at a higher level of difficulty..and teach them to read independently. This lesson was used to teach how to mark text, so the article is not as difficult as ones will be in the future.

  36. Step 2 – Annotate/Mark the text

  37. As we read Greek mythology, how will our study of “Nacirema” help us to understand the Greek’s ancient culture? Step 3- Pose the Question and Step 4- Plan the Essay

  38. Step 5 – Write the Paper

  39. This is just the beginning And you will face challenges…. but it will be the most amazing journey of your life a few challenges
