Checkpoint:Notice? What’s jumping out at you as important information to know?
Think? What connections are you making to previous learning or
observations?
Wonder? What questions do you have about the implications of
what I’m sharing?

Modern Literacy and Modern Learning should not be seen as opportunities to
“cheat.” They should be seen as
opportunities for REDEFINING and
REPLACING instructional practice
to meet the RIGHT NOW needs of our students.

Let’s play a game:

So what do you think is best practice for students
in the 21st Century?https://www.polleverywhere.com/free_text_polls/57NjXaoq5lbEeMY#
JustOne
Thing.
Kindergarteners Class of 2027
Are we thinking about the world our students live in now as well as in the future ?
Gr. K Gr. 12
From Chapter 2:
It was during a session with the English department that I [Heidi] had a curricular epiphany. We were using the wrong words to help colleagues, and we were not specific enough about what to do. We needed to use the word replace, not integrate, and we needed something concrete to offer as a replacement. And given how overwhelming it might seem to change an entrenched curriculum, we needed a reasonable place to commence upgrading. (p. 20)
Each teacher commits to …• Review all current available technological resources in the district.
Online resources: video streaming; Internet Web sites and subscriptions; WebQuest creation; Webcasting through laptop.
Hardware resources: videoconferencing; laptop labs; digital cameras; digital recording studio.
Creative software: Movie Maker; MediaPlayer; video clips via digital cameras.
• Identify at least one specific unit to revise.
21st Century Pledge
• Plan to replace a specific content, skill, and assessment practice with a 21st century upgrade within the unit.
• Share the proposed change with colleagues.• Learn to use the tool that will be requisite to replace the current unit design with the new practice.
• Revise the unit and begin implementation with students.• Tolerate a certain degree of frustration.• Celebrate the victories.
• Review and share 21st century learning openly with colleagues at targeted work sessions through the school year. (p. 22)

Teacher-Centered
Student-Centered
1. What’s working? What’s not working?
2. Prioritize improvements.
3. Secondary considerations?
4. Gather a team.
5. Budget time. 6. Leverage what
you need from your team.
7. Ask the customer.
8. Implement.
9. Reflect and revise.
10. How do you sustain it?
THINK IMMERSIVE
Santos
What needs to happen in order for you to begin to think IMMERSIVE? How will thinking in that way change your professional practice?
Replacement behaviors are not expected to happen automatically.
There are some considerations when choosing to digitize
instructional actions or assessments.
1. What is the learning objective? What instructional tasks have you designed in the past to meet the objective? What choices will students have to demonstrate their learning?
2. Is the instructional task worthy of a digital upgrade? Will using digital tools enhance the learning? If so, in what ways?
3. Will the digital tools increase or decrease the cognitive rigor of the task? What additional skills might have to be considered in order to engage this upgrade?
4. Does the digital upgrade involve collaboration, communication, creative problem solving, and/or creative thinking? How will students engage in these skills?
5. Are sufficient digital tools available and do all students have access to them? Brainstorm potential technology access points and digital tools that should be in the students’ toolboxes.
6. Are the students involved in some of the decision-making? How much are the students contributing to the design, process, or product?
Checkpoint:What tools are you already using or perhaps comfortable with that could be upgraded to deepen the learning?
As you listen to today’s message, is your Just One Thing starting to coalesce in your mind?
What can you put into practice quickly?
Tools for Your
Toolboxhttp://www.livebinders.com/play/play?tab_layout=side&id=1021963
Checkpoint:What other tools/apps are being used in your schools?
How can you leverage what you’ve already got OR your colleagues that have an expertise in an area that would be beneficial to you and your students?
