how is technology generating HEAT in YOUR learning environment?

Watch a video about HEAT - http://bit.ly/9lbL

Think-Pair-Share

• Higher Order Thinking - Student learning/questioning at synthesis/evaluation

• Engaged Learning - Students help define the task, the process, and the solution; collaborations extend beyond the classroom.

• Authenticity - The learning experience is directly relevant to students and involves creating a product that has a purpose beyond the classroom that directly impacts the students.

• Technology - Technology use is directly connected and needed for task completion and students determine which application(s) would best address their needs.

“While you’ve been hiring Communications experts to create a smooth-talking, slick appearance for your K-12 school district, establishing policies about who gets to post what, and creating a chain of command

to ensure that only appropriate and approved materials show up on your static district web site,your students, teachers, parents, community and Media outlets have been creating little interactive web sites for their own use, telling their version of

your story."
