Cristo Rey Professional DevelopmentWith Dr. Sonnenberg and

Rockhurst University Department of Education graduate studentsPresenters: Chris Casali and Charissa Musembi

As we get started: Technology is a tool Student centered classrooms engage students Curriculum drives the tool Planning with purpose Students as producers not solely consumers

of content YOU must exhibit digital citizenship Adding technology always increase

engagement “…not empty vessels to be filled but makers of meaning…” DOE conceptual framework

ISTE Standards (international society for technology in education)

Creativity and Innovation Communication and Collaboration Research and Information Fluency Critical Thinking, Problem Solving, and Decision Making Students understand human, cultural, and

societal issues related to technology and practice legal and ethical behavior.

Technology Operations and Concepts

Three approaches

Rejecting Banning=perception of

mistrust Ignoring

Human attention span is about 10 minutes.• Learn less

Accepting Structured Use supports positive student attitudes

• Short lectures followed by: small group exercises, active use of course related software, case students, completing real world projects together

CLEAR EXPECTATIONS

What are your expectations?

Exploration: Students must experiment with computer tools,

keywords, searches, solving problems Collaboration:

Students must help each other Teacher can’t be at every computer all the time

Movement: Movement is necessary Printers jam and students need to help each

other

Why Teaching with Tech is Different:

Why Teaching with Tech is Different:

Students approach computer lessons with high spirits Don’t fight them

Computer lessons require more direction, explanation and individual support Takes away from instructional time

Creative Anarchy can be a good thing

Preparation:

Computer lab staff Role?

Check computer lab rules already in place Add your own rules if necessary

Computer use is a privilege A time out from computer use is often enough

punishment Partner tech-experts with tech-

beginners

Rules (better known as Expectations)

…you can live by Tops down when requested to

do so Or ‘fist size space’

RATS (read all the screen) MBWA (Management by

Walking Around) Students should be willing to

help Ask three then me

Allow time to boot up/set up Distracting=discontinue use

for that students Students communicate to

others who are off task Grades 7-12:

Informal seating, encourage group work

… you cannot

Touching a student’s property

Take away the device Penalize a student for

being off task when you have not set expectations

Continue use when data shows negative impact on a learning activity
