- compartmentalized subjects
- Only in academia do we think that math and reading have nothing to do with each other (except for word problems). comment by Sarah Hanawald
- it can be easier to start a new school like Tech Valley than to overhaul an existing school to create a PBL environment.
- A point I've been belaboring. comment by LIsa Huff
- Instead of creating daily lessons, teachers do their planning before the launch of a project. Once the project starts, their job is to make sure students stay on track and cover the objectives.
- I've noticed this in my own attempts at PBL. Daily lesson plans don't really work. You have to map out, starting with the end, the project and all the mini-lessons, activities, resources need to scaffold students. You have to adjust from group to group, student to student, class to class. Instead of DAILY lesson plans, unit plans are much more valuable. I find that having them on a wiki with linked resources is even more valuable than writing them in a traditional planbook. IDEA: What if charter school teachers all keep lesson plans on a wiki or blog? Lesson plans would be UNITS rather than day-by-day traditional plans. comment by LIsa Huff
- students receive much more knowledge than can be recorded on a bubble test.
- If you can't test it with a bubble sheet, does knowledge exist? comment by Sarah Hanawald
- Chris Lehmann, principal of the Philadelphia-based Science Leadership Academy,
- Educon host school! Please, please let me go! comment by Sarah Hanawald
- At SLA we use Understanding by Design as our unit planning tool. We also have a common assessment rubric. Every major project the students do here is graded on the same five elements—design used, knowledge displayed, application of knowledge, presentation, and the process followed.
- I need to find a copy of that assessment rubric. comment by LIsa Huff
- http://www.scienceleadership.org/drupaled/wiki/assessment-sla comment by Sarah Hanawald
- We also employ a school-wide “essential question” that changes with each grade. In ninth grade, it’s identity; in tenth, it’s systems; in eleventh, it’s change.
- Brilliant! comment by Sarah Hanawald

Dr. Alice Christie's GPS and Geocaching Guide for Educators
Great matrix designed to assist schools and districts in evaluating the level of technology integration in classrooms and to provide teachers with models of how technology can be integrated into instruction in meaningful ways.
Thought you might be interested in using as you plan for the Feb inservice or next year's 1:1.Quotes:
- This amazing matrix is wonderful to share.
- WOW!
- Between this matrix and the Blooms digital from yesterday, my grade level is going to be rocking some tech integration on ALL levels! Love it!! can't wait to share in my district trainings...technically,amber
- This resource blew me away. Absolutely incredible!
- Reminds me of Frank X. Sutman's research
- Today, computers are supporting in the development of latest innovations, considerably speeding up the new development processes. Latest advances in technology are exposing computers of old-fashioned. No sooner is a computer model manufactured than the one has rolled off the design presses, and no end is in sight. Computer designers are now replacing silicon chips with DNA chips ... The Technology is moving from geologic roots to biologic roots and making the computer an even closer depiction of man. New advancements in technology are being introduced with a rapid pace. The main concern is how students can learn to embrace changes and familiarize to new technology as they emerge? http://science-and-technology.blogspot.com/
- The
Technology Integration Matrix (TIM) illustrates how teachers can use
technology to enhance learning for K-12 students. The TIM incorporates
five interdependent characteristics of meaningful learning environments:
active, constructive, goal directed (i.e., reflective), authentic,
and collaborative (Jonassen, Howland, Moore, & Marra, 2003).
The
TIM associates five levels of technology integration (i.e., entry,
adoption, adaptation, infusion, and transformation) with each of the
five characteristics of meaningful learning environments. Together,
the five levels of technology integration and the five characteristics
of meaningful learning environments create a matrix of 25 cells as
illustrated below.
- he TIM is
designed to assist schools and districts in evaluating the level of
technology integration in classrooms and to provide teachers with models
of how technology can be integrated into instruction in meaningful
ways. It is the Department’s intent that the TIM be used in the
context of comprehensive technology planning and EETT program accountability.
(floating sticky note)
- What a resource. At each indicator there is a QT video detailing the project, learning design and outcomes. This will be a wonderful tool for future integration initiatives. comment by Scott Weidig
- Levels
of Technology Integration into the Curriculum
- Make sure to click on the links under each indicator. You'll find video examples, objectives, materials/technology list, standards, and what amounts to basically a lesson plan. Incredible resource! comment by Caroline O'Bannon
