1. Chapter 10

2.  Basic Functions  Insert Graphics, Audio/Video  Add Text  Create Links  Capture Brainstormed Ideas  Generate Outline  Organize Graphics, Text, and Links

3.  Inspiration/Kidspiration  Fun  Easy to use  Engaging for students of all ages  Sample of Organizers by type and purpose (p. 262-264)

4.  Creativity and Innovation: Students demonstrate creative thinking, construct knowledge, and develop innovative products and processes using technology.  Research and Information Fluency: Students apply digital tools to gather, evaluate, and use information.  Critical Thinking, Problem Solving, and Decision Making: Students use critical thinking skills to plan and conduct research, manage projects, solve problems, and make informed decisions using appropriate digital tools and resources.  Technology Operations and Concepts: Students demonstrate a sound understanding of technology concepts, systems and operations.

5.  Specify Objectives- same as previous chapters  Computer Functions- determine if any of the graphic organizer functions can be used to support the achievement of the specified objectives.  Research & Analysis- benefits of using graphic organizer is that students engage in three cognitive processes: select relevant words and images, organize the words and images into a logical model, and integrate related components into a verbal and visual model.

6.  Results Presentation- graphic organizers are excellent tools for presenting the results of problem-based lessons.  Planning Computer Activities- these steps are for planning the lesson and not implementing.  During Computer Use- involves specifically detailing what students will do while using the computer  Before Computer Use- what do students need to do to prepare for computer time? May be small-group, whole class, or individual activities.

7.  After Computer Use- students use Think Sheets as guidance in analyzing the information and solving the problem.  Assessment- Rubrics will have increased emphasis on organization, connections, and visual representation.
