3. Disclaimer Technology is just a Tool
It is not a replacement for instruction and interaction
Everything we are going to cover is simply a different way of incorporating technology

4. Quick Interactions Session 1: http://bit.ly/2xN0Wy1
If you have a Twitter account, tweet about a recent tech involved lesson with the hashtag, #SJCOEAVID

5. Objective
 In this session, you will learn tips, tricks, and how to incorporate technology into your AVID and AVIDized classroom; including OneDrive, Google Drive, OneNote, Kahoot, Google and Microsoft Forms, and Twitter.

6. Binders = OneDrive/Google Drive
In OneDrive or Google Drive, you can have the students reproduce their binders.
Create main folder for the school year (Junior Year )
Subfolders for each class and teacher (AVID – Smith)
Within each class subfolder, you should decide how you would like your students to organize their materials
AVID Folder: Cornell Notes, Grade Checks, Handouts, Homework, Test/Quizzes, TRF’s, Portfolio
Content Folders: Cornell Notes, Handouts, Homework, Test/Quizzes
Make sure to review Naming conventions for electronic documents

7. Portfolios = OneDrive/Google Drive
Student portfolios can take up a lot of physical space and are paper heavy
When setting up the students’ cloud storage, students can create a folder for their Portfolio in their AVID class folder
Setting up their cloud storage allows students to share access with you
OneDrive: Use the “Copy To” feature to transfer previously uploaded material to their portfolio folder (right click options)
Google Drive: Use the “Make a Copy” feature and then the “Move to” their portfolio folder

8. Socratic Seminar = Twitter
Do you have a public speaking problem with some of your students?
Using Twitter may be the answer
The set up is easy
Nothing in the process changes until you get to the discussion portion
Create a Hashtag to track the conversation (#SJCOEAVID)
You do not need an account, but it helps
Class should be centered around a visible screen with the hashtag search stream displayed
Establish rules that you feel comfortable with and can implement

9. The Twitter Socratic Seminar
Two ways you can start
You tweet the prompt (written tweet or picture tweet)
You give a physical prompt and the students start the process
The limited character count forces the students to focus their thoughts/opinion
Semi-permanent record of what was said
Research on Twitter Socratic Seminar:
Hashtag search:

10. Team Building = Kahoot Interactive game-based
Free to create an account
Types of games: Quiz, Discussion, Survey, and Jumble
Quiz: single player or team based quiz that rewards points for accuracy AND speed
Ranks the players and drives fun spirited competition while testing their knowledge
Building and administering Kahoot, go to kahoot.com
To play Kahoot (participants), go to kahoot.it

11. Evidence (The Crate) = OneDrive/Google Drive
Evidence collection is one of the largest tasks throughout the school year
In your cloud storage system, one person can create shared folders for the site team or entire staff can access and upload to
Upload documents anytime
Reduces weight of paper
Can be easily reproduced by copying each year

12. Google Forms/Microsoft Forms
I personally prefer Google Forms despite using mainly Microsoft products
Amazing information gathering tool via surveys
Collects the information from the participants and creates data reports and a spreadsheet
Customizable with lots of options
Let’s take a look
PowerPoint on my website as well

13. OneNote & OneNote Class Notebooks
