Goals

• Understand the 2014 Technology Standards

• Identify hurdles to overcome and strategies

supporting effective adoption

• Evaluate pedagogical models which support

implementation

• Identify free technology resources

• Develop an “Adopt, Plan, Perform” (APP)

• Students need to

understand, filter, and

manage the tools and

information they use

and the products they

create.

• Educators need to be

prepared to facilitate

technology use across

all content areas.

Technology Standards 8.1 and 8.2

2014

We are pleased to inform you that the revised

New Jersey Core Curriculum Content Standard

(NJCCCS) 8, Technology, was adopted by the

State Board of Education on October 1, 2014.

The 2014 standard is available at

http://www.state.nj.us/education/cccs/2014/tech/

LEAs are required to implement the revised

Standard 8 by September 2015.

Revision SummaryGrade bands were changed throughout Standard 8 to align

with the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS)

• Standard 8.1 (Education Technology)• Updated technology skill sets and terminology

• Greater cross curricular applications

• Addresses Legislation (A3292 Sca (1R) ) that requires

instruction on the responsible use of social media for

middle school students

• Aligns more closely with International Society for

Technology in Education (ISTE) Standards

Revision Summary

● Standard 8.2 (Technology Education)

● Adds a new strand entitled “Computational Thinking:

Programming”

Aligns more closely with International Technology and

Engineering Educators Association (ITEEA) Standards.

● The standards have greater cross curricular applications

ACTIVITYPair and Share

Review a strand to identify what you perceive to

be:

● The positive impact resulting from standards

revision

● The most significant hurdle to overcome to

adoption

Record the top item for each to seek strategies to

overcome.

IMPLEMENTING THE STANDARDS

• Students know how to use Technology

• Educators must facilitate what children do

with technology to engage them and

empower their learning.

• Inventory what you have,

don’t be blinded by what is missing.

• Unpacking a standard allows

the teacher to identify the

knowledge and skills necessary

to successfully learn and utilize

a skill.

• The “Unpacking Process”

clearly outlines the learning

objectives and the learning

goals.

DO YOU KNOW WHAT IS EXPECTED FROM YOU IN YOUR CLASSROOM?

WHAT IS THE UNPACKING PROCESS?

Who - What- How- Why1. Select a grade level appropriate technology standard.

• Underline the nouns to determine the what

• Circle the verbs to determine the how

• Highlight the desired learning outcome

• Determine the level of cognitive knowledge using

Bloom’s Taxonomy.

2. Create a graphic organizer / chart on which you will

record the information

UNPACKING EXAMPLEWhat is an activity that addresses this standard and any content area?

ACTIVITYLET’S UNPACK

Working with a partner:1. Select one strand and “unpack” it. Underline the nouns, circle

the verbs, determine the level of Bloom’s Taxonomy required.

2. Create a graphic organizer to record your work. (word, excel,

sheets, Google)

3. List a grade appropriate activity that you could do in your

classroom to address the standard.

STANDARD 8 EMPOWERS LEARNERS AND LEARNING

ACROSS THE CURRICULUM

Pedagogical models which support

implementation• Flipped Classroom

• Technology, Pedagogy and Content Knowledge Framework

(TPACK)

• Understanding by Design Framework (UBD)

• Universal Design for Learning (UDL)

• Others - many research proven methods

Universal Design for Learning

• Universal Design

Embeds Choices

• Universal Design

accommodates

differences

UDL

How is this message

conveyed?

Universal Design for Learning

•UDL Calls For

• Multiple means of representation, to give learners’ various ways of acquiring information and knowledge

• Multiple means of expression, to provide learners alternatives for demonstrating what they know

• Multiple means of engagement, to tap into learners' interests, offer appropriate challenges, and increase motivation (CAST).

MANY CHOICES

•UDL is NOT

• Individual Modifications• Retrofitting to

accommodate the learners we know are going to enter our room

• One Size Fits All• Replacing past practices

NOT SUBSTITUTION

Pedagogical Approach

TPACK is a framework.

Technology is not the focus of

the activity, instead it supports

learning in other content areas

creating authentic learning

experiences.

Pedagogy, content knowledge

and technology come

together to develop a deeper

understanding.

SUPPORTIVE RESOURCES

• Software and hardware onsite

• Identify community access points - Library,

internet cafe, etc.

• Free Resources available online or to be installed
