• Learning Context and School Culture• Learning Content• Technology Access• Information and Communication

Learning Context and School Learning Context and School CultureCulture

Technology-enabled performance-based learning environment

A variety of instructional and grouping strategies

Technology used as a tool to support student directed learning

Collaboration & communication with people outside the classroom

Convenient access to a variety of learning technologies

School culture of collaboration

Integrated/coherent instructional model

Students often lead the way

Success is shared & celebrated along the way

Learning Content and InformationLearning Content and Information• Pilot teachers in model classrooms, combining digital content

linked to standards to create powerful learning experiences for students

• But effective use of instructional technology in every classroom will require an integrated system that links six critical components:

CommunicationManagementAssessment

Activities ResourcesStandards

Units and lesson plans

Web-based content linked to standards

State & district learningexpectations

Email chats,web postedassignments

Student record,attendance, grading

Performance tasks & on-line assessments

Learning Content

Information & Communication

Learning Content & Learning Content & CommunicationCommunication

Standards• Put your district standards (learning expectations) on the

Web• Borrow existing models (Federal Way or Kent Schools, for

example)• Join a consortium or enroll in a fee-based service like

CopernicusActivities and Digital Resources• Activities (lesson plans) and resources (Web-based) linked

to standardsAssessment• On-line or computer-based assessment (i.e., STAR) linked

to standards• Show examples of classroom performance tasks • Publish (on the Web) examples of student work that

exemplify grade level work

Developing Technology Developing Technology AccessAccess

Developmental Steps:1. Provide basic access for all

– 8:1 networked multimedia computers2. Create model classrooms, schools

and programs– Laptop program– 3/4:1 classrooms– 6:1 classrooms and mobile labs of

laptops or smart keyboards3. Build infrastructure on all

dimensions– Professional competency– Technical and system capacity– Curriculum and community

connections4. Expand target access

Goal: Promote positive, productive system-wide change by effectively implementing technology

Challenge: Layeringexpensive technology ontop of effective practices

• Every teacher needs a networked computer with basic productivity tools:– Word processor, spreadsheet,

presentation – Email and Web browser

• Teachers should also have electronic:– Access to student records– Attendance– Grading and report cards

• The Web creates the potential for:– Assignments on-line– Schools and classroom newsletters

(email and Web published)– Publishing student work– Sharing best practices (email bulletin

boards and Web published)

Developing Information & Developing Information & Communication Communication InfrastructureInfrastructure

Status Report: There are a growing number of quality examples of Web-based information and powerful management tools.

However, there are very few examples of integrated, Web-based systems that provide:

• linked content

• easy access & use

• integrated tools

• security (as needed)
