Using Technology with Classroom Instruction That
Works

• Focusing on Cooperative Learning and Similarities
  Differences
• Summer Symposium, June 5 , 2008
• ESA, Region 2

4
Big Ideas

• Technology does not drive the instruction, it
  SUPPORTS instruction
• Technology often is the great Differentiator
• Technology can help you reach the higher order
  thinking skillsanalyze, create, evaluate
• If it doesnt serve a purpose dump it

5
Objectives Today

• Understand the connection between Blooms
  Taxonomy/Marzanos Instructional Strategies and
  how technology can be integrated effectively
• Explore examples of readily available
  technologies that support specific strategies
• Learn how to plan for technology in the classroom
  based on standards

11
Cooperative Learning

• Focuses on having students interact with each
  other in groups in ways that enhance their
  learning

12
Group Design Components

• Positive interdependence (sink or swim together)
• Face-to-face, supportive interactions
• Individual and group accountability
• Interpersonal and small group skills
• Group processing

13
Technology can

• Play a unique and vital role in cooperative
  learning
• Facilitates group collaborations
• Provides structure for group tasks
• Allows group members to communicate even if they
  are not working face-to-face.
• Allows school to serve students anytime, anywhere
  and facilitate their growth as lifelong learners.

14
Multimedia

• Can facilitate cooperative learning
• By requiring students to assume many different
  roles and responsibilities
• Require detail in the planning process
• Projects can be graded in two dimensions
• Rubric for a cooperative project
• Roles in the group project can be assessed
  separately

15
Collaborative Organizing

• Shared calendars
• Shared bookmarking
• Shared documents
• Shared notes
• Course management
• Web-Enables Multiplayer Simulation Games

16
Web Resources

• Web-enabled collaborative learning
• Using cooperative learning as a way to learn to
  cooperate.
• Blogs and wikis and electronic classrooms
  www.hotchalk.com

17
Web Resources

• WebQuests are inquiry-oriented activities that
  allow students in a class from multiple locations
  to collaborate.
• A well designed webquest is practical, engaging,
  and elicits student thinking.
• The Westing Game Webquest www.nycsd.k12.pa.us/tchr
  /webquests/westing/westing_game.htm

18
Website Creation

• Building a website can be a very enriching
  collaborative experience for students
• Students can build a multi-page Web site based on
  research and solving a problem together.

19
Communication Software

• Blogs and wikis and electronic classrooms
• Teachers can pair instant messaging and Voice
  over IP (VolP) to facilitate powerful
  collaboration at any time of the day and from any
  geographical location. (Yahoo messenger)
• Podcasts (http//www.epnweb.org/)
• Text messaging and email

20
Collaborative Learning Activity

• Navigate to the ESA 2 Blogspot http//citwtechnolo

• How will you integrate one of these tools into
  you classroom?
• Take a quick break when youve finished.

Using Technology with Classroom Instruction that
Works

• Similarities and Differences

22
Identifying Similarities Differences

• Helps students restructure their understanding of
  the content
• Students make new connections, experience fresh
  insights, and correct misconceptions
• Leads to deeper understanding

23
Four Basic Processes in Outlining Similarities
Differences
Comparing The process of identifying and articulating similarities differences among items.
Classifying The process of grouping things into definable categories on the basis of their attributes.
Creating Metaphors The process of identifying and articulating the underlying theme or general pattern in information.
Creating Analogies The process of identifying relationships between pairs of concepts (e.g., relationships between relationships).
24
Identifying Similarities Differences

• Graphic Organizers (Kidspiration, Inspiration, or
  Word)
• Spreadsheet Software (Excel create comparison
  charts)
• Data Collection Tools (probes to collect data,
  then organize the data in Word or a spreadsheet
  to analyze and compare)

Identifying Similarities Differences

• Graphic Organizers (Kidspiration, Inpsiration,
  bubbl.us, gliffy.com, xtimeline.com, Word)
• Spreadsheet Software (Excel create comparison

• Data Collection Tools (probes to collect data,
  then organize the data in Word or a spreadsheet
  to analyze and compare)

Using Excel for Comparison Charts
31
Comparison Spreadsheet

• To create a chart from the excel data, highlight
  the data for both the x and y axis that will make
  up the chart (planets vs weight)
• Go to the menu and choose gtinsertgtchart

32
Choose the type of chart that you would like to
create. Excel allows options for columns, bars,
lines, etc. Choose a chart subtype (if
applicable). Click next and enter in the
remaining chart options such as titles values.
Choose where you would like the chart to appear
(on another worksheet in excel or on the same
page).
