Using Technology with Classroom Instruction

That Works

Focusing on Cooperative Learning and Similarities & DifferencesTIE Conference, April 6, 2008

ESA, Region 2

Participant Inventory Use Senteo and complete participant

inventory

Big Ideas Technology does not drive the instruction, it

SUPPORTS instruction Technology often is the great “Differentiator” Technology can help you reach the higher

order thinking skills…analyze, create, evaluate

If it doesn’t serve a purpose – dump it

Objectives Today Understand the connection between Bloom’s

Taxonomy/Marzano’s Instructional Strategies and how technology can be integrated effectively

Explore examples of readily available technologies that support specific strategies

Learn how to plan for technology in the classroom based on standards

Bloom’s Taxonomy

Remember

9 Instructional Strategies Identifying similarities and differences Summarizing and note taking Reinforcing effort and providing feedback Homework and practice Nonlinguistic representation Cooperative learning Setting objectives and providing feedback Generating and testing hypotheses Cues, questions and advance organizers

Effect Size is a unit of measure used with meta-analysis that expresses the increase or decrease in student achievement

For example Small: 0.20 to 0.49 Medium: 0.50 to 0.79 Large: 0.80 and above

Cooperative LearningFocuses on having students

interact with each other in groups in ways that enhance their

learning

Generalizations: Organizing groups based on ability levels

should be done sparingly Cooperative learning groups should be rather

small in size Cooperative learning should be used

consistently and systematically but should not be overused

Recommendations

Use a variety of criteria to group students Use informal, formal, and base groups Keep the groups to a manageable size Combine cooperative learning with other

classroom structures

Group Design Components Positive interdependence (sink or swim together) Face-to-face, supportive interactions Individual and group accountability Interpersonal and small group skills Group processing

Base groups are long-term groups, created to provide students with support in a length of time. Groups help build trust, camaraderie, and teamwork, and they are useful for checking homework and completing tasks and other routines.

Technology can: Play a unique and vital role in cooperative

learning Facilitates group collaborations Provides structure for group tasks Allows group members to communicate even

if they are not working face-to-face. Allows school to serve students anytime,

anywhere and facilitate their growth as lifelong learners.

Multimedia Can facilitate cooperative learning…

By requiring students to assume many different roles and responsibilities

By requiring detail in the planning process Projects can be graded in two dimensions:

Rubric for a cooperative project Roles in the group project can be assessed separately http://www.uwstout.edu/soe/profdev/elemteamworkrub

Web ResourcesUses the cooperative learning as a way to learn to

cooperate. Blogs and wikis and electronic classrooms www.hotchalk.com

Students can be interacting with professionals to ask questions and get responses immediately from the experts Real Time Chats and Ask the Experts

Web email partners that are monitored to ensure effective communications for educational purposes www.epals.com/

Web ResourcesWebQuests are inquiry-oriented activities that

allow students in a class from multiple locations to collaborate.

A well designed webquest is practical, engaging, and elicits student thinking.

The Westing Game Webquest www.nycsd.k12.pa.us/tchr/webquests/westing/westing_game.htm

Website Creation Building a website can be a very enriching

collaborative experience for students Students can build a multi-page website based

on research and solving a problem together. http://www.kidsnetsoft.com/html/download.html

Collaborative Organizing

Shared calendars Shared bookmarking ( podcast about social book

marking in schools) Shared documents Shared notes Course management Web-Enables Multiplayer Simulation Games

Communication Software

Teachers can pair instant messaging and Voice over IP (VolP) to facilitate powerful collaboration at any time of the day and from any geographical location.

Podcasts (http://www.epnweb.org/) Text messaging and email

Identifying similarities and differencesHomework and practiceGenerating and testing hypotheses

Identifying Similarities & Differences

Helps students restructure their understanding of the content

Students make new connections, experience fresh insights, and correct misconceptions

Leads to deeper understanding

Generalizations

Present students with explicit guidance in identifying similarities and differences

Ask students to independently identify similarities and differences

Represent similarities and differences in graphic or symbolic form

Recommendations Teach students to use comparing, classifying,

metaphors, and analogy techniques Give students a model of the steps for

engaging in the process Use a familiar context to teach students these

steps Have students use graphic organizers as a

visual tool Guide students. Work towards less structure

and more practice

Four Basic Processes in Outlining Similarities & Differences

Identifying Similarities & Differences

Graphic Organizers (Kidspiration, Inspiration, or Word)

Spreadsheet Software (Excel – create comparison charts)

Data Collection Tools (probes to collect data, then organize the data in Word or a spreadsheet to analyze and compare)

Using Excel for Comparison Charts

Comparison Spreadsheet To create a chart from

the excel data, highlight the data for both the x and y axis that will make up the chart (planets vs weight)

Go to the menu and choose >insert>chart

Choose the type of chart that you would like to create. Excel allows options for columns, bars, lines, etc. Choose a chart subtype (if applicable). Click next and enter in the remaining chart options such as titles & values. Choose

where you would like the chart to appear (on another worksheet in excel or on the same page).
