Using Technology with Classroom Instruction that Works Have participants Create a new folder on desktop with their name on it…

2 HYS High Yield Strategies
1. Identifying Similarities and Differences 2. Summarizing and Note Taking 3. Reinforcing Effort and Providing Recognition 4. Homework and Practice 5. Nonlinguistic Representations 6. Cooperative Learning 7. Setting Objectives and Providing Feedback 8. Generating and Testing Hypotheses 9. Cues, Questions, and Advance Organizers Come up with the nine in some way, have them brainstorm with a group and then share aloud on board or something. Create posters of each strategy and compare to one another. This leads into comparing how people learn and then to technology Marzano, Pickering, and Pollack were able to identify 9 categories of instructional strategies proven to improve student achievement… It is important for us all to remember that instructional strategies are tools only. Although the strategies that will be presented are certainly good tools, thet sgoyuld not be expected to wrok equally well in all situations. These are the tools available, but it is up the teacher to realize the best time tot use them.

3 Classroom Instruction that Works
Research Data Pg 8 in book Classroom Instruction that Works

4 I. What Will Students Learn?
1. Setting Objectives II. Which Strategies Will Provide Evidence of Student Learning? 2. Providing Feedback 3. Providing Recognition The book we are studying today breaks the strategies into 4 categories and 11 strategies

5 III. Which Strategies Will Help Students Acquire and Integrate Learning?
4. Cues, Questions, and Advance Organizers 5. Nonlinguistic Representation 6. Summarizing and Note Taking 7. Cooperative Learning 8. Reinforcing Effort IV. Which Strategies Will Help Students Practice, Review, and Apply Learning? 9. Identifying Similarities and Differences 10. Homework and Practice 11. Generating and Testing Hypotheses

6 Identifying Similarities and Differences…

7 Recommendations… 1. Teach student to use comparing, classifying, metaphors, and analogies when they identify similarities and differences. 2. Give students a model of the steps for engaging in the process. 3. Use a familiar context to teach students these steps. 4. Have students use graphic organizers as a visual tool to represent the similarities and differences. 5. Guide students as they engage in this process. Gradually give less structure and less guidance.

8 A First Activity Task #1:
Write the name of a famous person on an index card. Place your card in a stack with the other cards of your colleagues.

9 Next…. Task #2: Select the poem, “Backward Bill,” from the choices at Look in books under A Light in the Attic. Read/listen to the poem.

10 Last…. Task #3: Draw an index card from the stack.
Create a graphic organizer to explain how the character in your poem is like and is different from the person on the index cards in terms of the following criteria: looks, actions, character traits – more teacher directed. Go to or – Student Materials – Venn Diagrams. Click on the interactive tool. Which one is this???? Id sim and diff.

11 Task 2 Memory Line - definition: Comparison reviewing one set of learned information with new information with the goal of answering a question. Example: Illinois and another state Criteria – Geography, history, population, agriculture, industry, tourism Research information –

12 The Question: In which state would I rather live?
Illinois Geography: History: Population : Agriculture: Special Places to see: Washington Geography: History: Population: Agriculture: Special Places to see:

13 Setting Objectives Why add technology??
Add shake it up video here to start after introduction The instructional strategy of setting objectives focuses on establishing a direction for learning. Setting goals or objectives is a skill that successful people have mastered to help them realize both short and long term accomplishments…

14 Recommendations… 1. Set learning objectives that are specific but flexible 2. Allow students flexibility in personalizing the learning objectives or goals 3. Communicate the learning objectives or goals to students and parents 4. Contract with students to attain specific learning objectives or goals

15 Add a dose of technology…
Word processing KWHL chart Do any of you use your computer to write lesson plans? How about unit plans? Who is comfortable with the basics of Word? Let’s create a KWHL chart What does the K stand for? What they know about the subject What does the W stand for? What they want to learn about the topic H? How they plan to learn it L? What they learned at the end of the unit or activity Have them open word… Find draw toolbar…bottom of screeen Or view>toolbars>drawing After they have drawn the boxes give them the next slide as the topic for their KWHL chart and they should fill in the chart….

16 The subject is the book Using Technology with Classroom Instruction that Works
What do you know about it? (K) What do you want to learn about it? (W) How do you plan to learn it? (H) (L) will come later… Have them save this to the desktop in folder we created earlier… Make sure to revisit at closing today…

17 Why? 3. Communicate the learning objectives or goals to students and parents Why should you have your kids do this electronically and not pen and paper…easy to meet recommendation 3 Why? It can be ed to parents easy access…

18 Why? 4. Contract with students to attain specific learning objectives or goals Word processing “Learning Goals Sheet” The fourth recommendation can be met by creating a learning goals sheet and save the template to use over and over again. Create a sample for them to save… Students will hand write on the line whatever they are studying… have them create in microsoft word with wording on next slide. Then save to their folder..

19 Our class learning goal for this unit:
My Learning Goals Our class learning goal for this unit: Complete the following sentences to set your personal learning goals: I know… But I want to know… I want to know more about… You could even make one for each of your teachers top fill in. Revisiting their professional growth plan for the coming school year… M

20 Data Collection Tools…
Collecting data guidelines… Consider including some engaging background information on the topic Be sure to include open-ended questions that will reveal any misconceptions that you might need to address Keep your survey short enough to ensure a large response and give your students credit for completing it Collecting data with online surveys allows a teacher to engage learners and gather the information needed to set more meaning ful and personalized objectives Have them go to the link and tak th technology survey. After completed, share data and also show other survey compiled.

21 Free or inexpensive online survey Web Sites

22 Survey Survey one teachers MAKE SURE TO ONLY HAVE 1 or 2 for them posted Survey 2 admin Survey 3 both After surveys are completed share results…

23 Fossil survey After they complete this survey share results… then do your polleverywhere with their cellphones… This type of survey allows teachers to set goals and objectives with students.. Sheds light on where the students are and where they need to go..

24 Blogs… A web-based publication of periodic journal entries, usually presented in reverse chronological order with the most current post appearing first.

25 Visit this blog and add a comment…
Add a comment to the posting let’s talk blogs….make sure to hit submit…sit back and watch the magic happen feel free to add more comments if you wish. Let’s see how to set up a blog… Have them if interested to go ahead and join up it is free…

26 Samples… http://escrapbooking.com/blogging/teaching.htm
Share these as all ready in progress…5th grade mrs. Everts ,k and etc. on millard…and 1st grade jenson

27 Summarizing Have them retrieve copy of the earth. Summarizing and notetaking focuses on enhancing students’ ability to synthesize information and instill it into a concise new form. First they need to open up word document…key it in. See steps for Rule-based summarizing page 121 Talk about things to get rid of in steps for older students… go through each one… Tools>Track Changes>be sure to select the options like page 122 Next clean copy again. Auto summarize time. Tools>Auto summarize

28 Recommendations… Teach students the rule-based summarizing strategy
Use summary frames Teach students the reciprocal teaching strategy Share sample of rule-based summarizing….these are the rules to teach the kid.. this strategy provides students with a process to apply as they summarize and gives them a structure to guide them when attempting what can otherwise be a confusing task.

29 You can use the Track changes feature in Microsoft Word to both demonstrate rule-based summarizing and have students practice the process.(handout) First open Word Go to tools Track changes Go to Tools Options now click track changes be sure to select strike through next to the word deletions. Next hand out earth document have them key it into their computers. Then have them practice the rule-based summarizing key as I show them my own when complete.

30 AutoSummarize Summarizing with Auto Summarize Tools>Auto Summarize
Then you have 4 options… 1. Highlight the key points 2. Insert an executive summary at the top of the document 3. Insert an executive summary in a new document 4. Hide everything except the executive summary without leaving the document Handout with this on it Students can use autosummarize to summarize of course, but it has other applications in the writing process. After a student has completed a rough draft, he or she can use the autosummarize tool to see if Word identifies the same main points that the student intended. If the computer and the author disagree on the main points, this might indicate a need for revision. Show them and example by going to commissenor’s memo on state website and show summarizing tools….

31 Sum it up… Using Microsoft word
Read them a story and have them key in a summary of only 2.50 it costs 10 cents a word so they have 25 words… use word count if needed…

32 Note Taking

33 Recommendations… Give students teacher-prepared notes
Teach students a variety of note-taking formats Use combination notes

34 Combination Notes Create these in microsoft word…using drawing tools..or with powerpoint share some examples…first go to microsoft word do four parts of computer…on page 124 Remember that one of the things that came from the research was that the more notes taken, thte better, and on e of the recommendations for classroom practice is that studetns hsoud lbe taught a variety of note-taking formats. Wrodk precessing applications help students to take notes quickly and with automatic formatiing

35 Outline format in word…
Show them a video and have them take notes..must go to microsoft word to create an informal outline. Format bulleting and numbering You can increase bullet size by pushing tab And decrease by hitting shift>tab Share examples then show video of vision of k12 students Have them create an outline while viewing the video focusing on the different types of technologies seen and mentioned in the video

36 Summarizing with Multimedia
When teachers introduce multimedia into their classrooms, they must ensure that students stay focused on distinguishing trivial content from essential content, coalescing minor points into major themes, and personalizing their notes based on their learning styles. PPT examples page 131 go over criteria then show how to insert each thing… Obviously, spending lots of time selecting fonts and background colors is not time well spent; identifying and analyzing the essential components of the content is. On the plus side, using multimedia to summarize and take notes is fun, which engages students in the content

37 Combination Notes Criteria The Outsiders
Use the combination notes template Identify at least three major themes Enhance each theme with relevant graphics, sounds, links, or video clips At the bottom of each notes slide, include a brief statement summarizing the preceding themes Use legible fonts between 16 to 40 points Ensure color contrast is visually appealing and easy to read Randomly selected students will present their notes orally to the class Less is more. Too much text can make your presentation too cluttered. Save detailed explanations for oral remarks

38 Insert Title Identify the Major themes Multimedia Theme enhancements Summary Statement

39 The Outsiders Gang/Class Conflict Honor among thieves
Redemption/Self-Sacrifice Superficial Prejudgment 3. Listen to song 1. Gang Graffiti 4. Watch video clip 2. Robin Hood and his merry men The lowest and highest social classes are equally capable of both noble and malicious acts.

40 Cornell note making Have them time pemitting create a two column note section in microsoft word… do the seed plant one. Share the concept first form ss/ns do under document cameral..
