1. Sign the attendance form by answering the question.
   
   
2. Get a Chromebook, turn it on, and follow these directions.
   
   
3. More with your Blog:
   • Using the Chrome application grid, go to Blogger or search Google for Blogger
     
     
   • Go to your Blogger dashboard (this is where your posts are listed and you have access to some blog options)
     
     
   • Mouse over to "Edit" your blog post or create a new one
     
     
   • Add some text and another link by going to this webpage and copy/pasting the web address or URL:
     https://files.nc.gov/dpi/teacher-dlcompetencies_0.pdf
     
     
   • And then make the URL a link if it doesn't do this automatically
     
     
   • Don't like this link? Do one of your own but make sure it is "hot"or clickable and goes to the website AND is a professional website
     
     
   • TAKE IT ONE MORE STEP: Try adding an image from Pixabay (https://pixabay.com/en/photos/) MUST DOWNLOAD AND INSERT as there is no hot linking to Pixabay images (in other words, linking via a URL).
     
   • Publish your page and see how it looks
     
     
   • We'll add text and a link for practice.
     
     
4. While you are waiting: Add some more bookmarks on your bookmarks bar:
   • Click on the Google snowman menu in the top right corner of the browser
   • Choose "Bookmarks" from the menu and then make sure "Show bookmarks bar" is checked
   • Next, go to some of the websites we have seen so far in class and from the left end of the URL at the top (sometimes you see an icon like a padlock), drag it down to your bookmarks bar or choose the star and add it to your desired location

       (right click - two taps on the touchpad - to get the menu to open in an new tab)
     • Countdown timers including the bomb and running races: https://www.online-stopwatch.com/
     • This is Sand: https://thisissand.com/
     • Pixabay: https://pixabay.com/images/search/ [EVERYONE BOOKMARK THIS ONE!]
       
       
   • WANT A CHALLENGE? Right click on the bookmarks bar to create a folder that you can name and into which you can store/sort your bookmarks.
     
     
5. Let's start to talk about the standards......for Technology!? Yes - both at the national level and in our state.
   
• Partnership for 21st Century Skills - 4 Cs [Creativity, Communication, Collaboration, and Critical Thinking]
• NC Carolina Information and Technology Essential Standards
• NC Digital Learning Competencies (DLCs)
• ISTE Standards for Teachers and Students
  
  
• YOUR GROUP MISSION: Using these standards 1) ISTE - Student and Teacher, 2) NC ITES, 3) NC DLTs and 3) P21.
  Explore the standards for your group:
  
  
  • ISTE Students (2016)
  • ISTE Teachers (2017)
  • NC ITES
  • NC DLCs [x2]
  • P21
    
    
• Three things that stand out and you think we should know. Be prepared to share these with the class.
• One question your group has about the standards you have explored.
  
  
6. Moving on to some technology models: TIM and SAMR- These help inform our work to be CRITICAL THINKERS and INFORMED DECISION MAKERS. This is professional knowledge that will help you as a teacher-scholar.

   • SAMR: Another way to think about how teachers and students use technology:
     • Let's review from the video what SAMR stands for:

7. TPACK: What is it and why might it be useful in understanding how teachers integrate technology in their practice? The key is to know that the K in TPACK is to know or in other words KNOWLEDGE.
   
   TPACK OVERVIEW (Google Slides)
   
   
   Alan Parkinson from flikr CC-by-nc-2.0
   
   Let's talk about a teacher you know and his or her TPACK. What did you notice about how Content Knowledge, Pedagogical Knowledge, and Technological Knowledge come together for this teacher? Strong, weak, innovative, traditional? TPACK is not just knowledge but ALSO putting this knowledge into practice in the classroom.
   
   
8. Using edpuzzle to assess your understanding of the TPACK model:
• EDEL 446 https://edpuzzle.com/join/afovekb
• EDMG 466 https://edpuzzle.com/join/kuwireh
  
  
9. Powerwash your Chromebook - This erases everything including your WCU and gmail login information.

1. Sign out of your Chromebook in the bottom right corner.
2. When your sign-in screen appears, press and hold Ctrl + Alt + Shift + R.
3. Restart your Chromebook by clicking “Restart” and once it restarts, follow the prompts to reset or Powerwash the device

HOMEWORK:

• Finish EdPuzzle assignment on TPACK
• Get started on blog #1 - TIM and Tech Models due next Tuesday, Jan 28 by midnight
