    1. Let's go to Canvas to see the guidelines and directions
    2. While we're here, let's check out the scoring rubric
    3. Next, we'll look at an example: https://sites.google.com/view/web20example/home

  4. Tech Standards continued.....
  5. SMALL GROUP - TASK: Google Docs with your group: Link to shared folder and then analyze your standard and report on it.

  6. Vintage Sharing: Whiteboardlets
    21st Century Skills and the Fabulous Four Cs
    First, let's watch excerpts from the four videos. Next....

    Each table group has one of the four Cs. https://k12.thoughtfullearning.com/FAQ/what-are-learning-skills

    Think critically about your group's C and the material from the article, communicate and collaborate with your table on two of the bullet points that you find most interesting and/or relevant, and capture it on your whiteboard.

    It is intended for your to have to summarize and be consciece - in your own words. Please DON'T just copy what is written in the document.

  7. Moving on to some technology models:
    These models help inform our work as teachers to be CRITICAL THINKERS and INFORMED DECISION MAKERS. It is professional knowledge that will help you as a teacher.
    1. SAMR: Another way to think about how teachers and students use technology.
      Here are some examples: https://www.3plearning.com/blog/connectingsamrmodel/

    2. TPACK: What is it and why might it be useful in understanding how teachers integrate technology in their practice? The key is that the K in TPACK is what ya' know or in other words the teacher's KNOWLEDGE.

TECH MODELS:
Let's Review...https://www.flippity.net/mg.php?k=1oWFriMFBOBslQzrG1prClNFO8vQVqvhfIvBNzXvcquY

START THINKING.....

For your first Web 2.0 tool example and profile, you'll create an instructional activity you can (but don't have to) use with your students using Padlet, Kahoot, or edPuzzle. Ask your CE what might be applicable in your classroom or the students you are working with as this should be an authentic and an efficient use of your time (e.g., double dippin' - assignment for this class and a lesson in your internship).

Here's our example assignment....https://sites.google.com/view/web20example/home
