3. Identifying Similarities and Differences Four processes: Comparing Classifying Creating metaphors Creating analogies Helps student restructure their understanding of content Encourages students to make new connections and correct misconceptions Use graphic and symbolic representations to give students support and structure
4. Identifying Similarities and Differences Microsoft Word SmartArt graphics Insert table Clipart for analogies and metaphors Microsoft Excel
5. Identifying Similarities and Differences Mapping software Kidspiration/Inspiration http://www.mindmeister.com bubbl.us Classifying Example Interactive whiteboard Mimio Notebook SMART Notebook Promethean ActivInspire Comparing Example Sorting Example
6. Summarizing and Note Taking Enhance students' ability to synthesize information and distill it into a concise new form. Students need specific summarizing and note-taking techniques. Microsoft Office for summarizing and note-taking: Use Track Changes in Word to teach summarizing technique Use Auto Summarize to compare student summaries with computer summary PowerPoint for combination notes (two-content layout)
10. Summarizing and Note Taking Collaborative summarizing and note-taking: Wiki http://wikispaces.com Example: http://ow.ly/25rWN Blog http://www.blogger.com Example: http://sarahplainandtall.blogspot.com/ EtherPad http://piratepad.net Take & share notes from the session!

12. Reinforcing Effort Motivation plays a key role in the learning process. Use a rubric and spreadsheet to track effort and achievement. Students rate their own effort and record in a spreadsheet. Provide students with grades for each task based on criteria for assignment. Students enter grades in spreadsheet, then create a graph to show correlation between effort and achievement.
13. Providing Recognition Provide recognition through: Digital student portfolios Blog Microsoft certificate templates http://ow.ly/259Fx Example: Students create certificates for classmates.
14. Providing Recognition Podcast Audioboohttp://audioboo.fm Teachers, students, and parents can record podcast and share with class. Video conferencing/messaging Tokbox http://www.tokbox.com Similar to podcasting, create a video message to provide recognition for students.
15. Homework and Practice Give students opportunities to deepen their understanding of and proficiency with content Communicate the purpose of homework and practice Provide feedback to students Students need a lot of practice to achieve mastery
16. Homework and Practice Have students work cooperatively to create games using templates below. Students who create the games and students who play the games will benefit! Templates for you or students to create Classroom game templates Microsoft Office games PowerPoint templates Teacher created games Jeopardy games PowerPoint games

18. Nonlinguistic Representations Use linguistic & nonlinguistic representations of content to increase understanding and retention. To significantly increase learning, involve students in creating nonlinguistic representations. Simple applications: Add clip art and photos to notes, vocabulary, word walls Play video clips and slideshows Use presentation software for lessons Pete’s PowerPoint Station - http://www.pppst.com
20. Nonlinguistic Representations Photo Story Example: http://tr.im/nccsinsttech Windows Movie Maker Glogster http://edu.glogster.com Example: http://bit.ly/aCwUPK Prezihttp://prezi.com Example: http://ow.ly/25rzn
21. Nonlinguistic Representations Go Animate http://goanimate.com Example: http://bit.ly/9zDvvc Google Earth http://earth.google.com/intl/en/ Example: Voice Thread http://voicethread.com Example: http://voicethread.com/share/44033/
22. Cooperative Learning Use a variety of grouping patterns. Informal Groups: Think-Pair-Share Turn to your neighbor Formal Groups: Literature Circles Guided Reading Project-based Base Groups: Long term Homeroom Table team
23. Cooperative Learning Use rubrics to communicate expectations for cooperative learning and evaluate group cooperation. Example: http://www.ncsu.edu/midlink/rub.mmproj.htm
24. Cooperative Learning Technology-based cooperative learning experiences: Multimedia projects Video creation and editing Glogster http://edu.glogster.com News cast Skype 50 Ways to Use Skype in the Classroom http://ow.ly/24VkX ePals Global Community http://www.epals.com
25. Cooperative Learning EtherPad http://piratepad.net Wiki Class web page (School Fusion) Wikispaces - Free for educational wikis http://wikispaces.com Example: http://rockwritelisten.wikispaces.com/
26. Setting Objectives and Providing Feedback Students learn best when they know the goals or objectives of a lesson or learning activity. We do this with: Essential Questions Essential Skills Rubrics KWL
27. Setting Objectives Digital learning goals are easily shared with parents and easy to access later for progress monitoring, reflection, and evaluation. Electronic KWL Example: http://bit.ly/kwlchart Learning contract Example using Google Docs Form: http://ow.ly/25sJw Spreadsheet for results Blog for brainstorming Post topic prior to lesson, unit, text reading, etc.
28. Setting Objectives Data and goal-setting Electronic newsletter Study Island Pre-assessment Survey Monkey Clickers Microsoft Mouse Mischief Angles lesson example
29. Providing Feedback Effective feedback enhances student achievement. Rubrics Rubistar Teachnology Blog - Use comments for feedback Example: http://ow.ly/24UkI
30. Providing Feedback Classroom web page - Use as digital portfolio for students. Teachers, students, and parents can leave comments for feedback. Example: http://ow.ly/24Uu0 Voice Thread Microsoft Word – Comments Clickers - Provide immediate feedback Study Island
31. Generating and Testing Hypotheses Includes 6 types of tasks: Systems Analysis (Predict what might happen if one part of a system changes.) Problem Solving (Focus on unstructured, real life problems that may have more than one solution.) Decision Making (Make a prediction and weigh it against other possible alternatives.) Historical Investigation (“What really happened?” “Why did this happen?”) Experimental Inquiry (Not only used in science!) Invention (“Shouldn’t there be a better way to…?”)
32. Generating and Testing Hypotheses Spreadsheets Microsoft Excel Google Docs Collect and analyze data Evaluate criteria Make decisions Google Earth Historical Imagery
