Handout the Action Steps organizer for noting taking and prep to share out at the end of the presentation.
Slide 2
Digital Natives
Essential question: What would learning be like in my classroom/school if learning experiences were designed with technology tools that would support the learning preferences of digital natives? Use the Action Plan organizer to take notes during the session and be prepared to share your ideas at the end. Digital natives come to school with digital learning experience. How has teaching and learning in your school changed to meet the needs of these students?
Slide 3
Learning targets
• I understand the components of digital learning.
• I can access digital resources and content.
• I can use digital content to design engaging learning
experiences.
• I can identify ways to create more time, more opportunity
and differentiated instruction to meet the needs of each
student.

Digital Learning Now, http://digitallearningnow.com/
Digital learning – any type of learning that is facilitated by technology. F2f = Face-to-face - brick-and-mortar school; technology integration Blended learning – is when a student learns part of the time in a supervised brick-and-mortar location and part of the time through online delivery of instruction and/or when a student learns in a supervised brick-and-mortar location that uses technology as a primary method to deliver instruction. Full-time online schools – also called cyber or virtual schools, work with students who are enrolled primarily (often only) in the online school. Online schools typically are responsible for their students’ scores on state assessments. In some states most full-time online schools are charter schools.

The Report
In the summer of 2011, KDE released an RFP to commission the writing of a policy report on digital learning. OpenEd Solutions won that bid and submitted Digital Learning 2020 to KDE.

1. All students should be eligible for digital learning. Eligibility for full and part time learning options is key to a number of BNG recommendations including advanced courses, world languages, and special needs, credit recovery, and dual credit. 2. Authorize multiple statewide online learning providers to expand full and part time options. Like recommendation #1, a multiple providers environment fulfills the BNG vision. 3. Allow students to personalize their learning. 4. Support customized learning pilots. 5. Support competency-based learning pilots. 6. Plan for shift to online instructional materials by 2013-14. 7. Support the shift to blended instruction. 8. Plan for online assessment by 2013-14. 9. Create a statewide online/blended learning authorizer/contractor (see #2). 10. Develop a fractional and performance-based funding model. Elements 1, 2, 6, and 10 are the first phase toward full implementation of digital learning in Ky. “The three key actions that we asked KBE to focus on are: 1) changing the role of KDE from being a provider of digital learning to being a regulator/broker of digital learning 2) addressing the legislative changes necessary to change from a traditional textbook approach to a focus on instructional resources that would include not only traditional textbooks, but also digital resources
3) addressing the legislative changes necessary to have funding for digital courses follow the student” Dr. Holliday, blog entry, 12-16-11 More Options, Opportunities for Students http://tinyurl.com/digital-learning-2020-report

Digital Content
Digital content - digital learning content is information for teaching and learning provided electronically and viewed on a computer or similar device.

• Digital Content Toolkit, CAST
• ck-12
Choose or design content that is aligned to standards but meets the needs of your students. Know your students! Aptitude – Transcripts (IC), Assessment Scores (MAP, ThinkLink/PAS, AIMS web), IEPs, 504 Plans… Learning Styles Inventory - ILP Interest Inventory – ILP Surveys – List of technology options that students can access. Students generate and update a list of new tech tools and possible learning uses. Digital Content Toolkit, CAST http://www.cast.org/teachingeverystudent/toolkits/tk_introduction.cfm?tk_id=41 ck-12, http://www.ck12.org/flexbook/ SREB, this site has been created to provide a variety of Web resources related to digital learning content.

Translating standards into learning targets or learning goals. • Nouns = Concepts (content, knowledge) • Verbs = Processes (skills, what they can do) • Adverbs or Adjectives = Rubric criteria (What criteria should performance against standards
be assessed?) Access deconstructed standards/learning targets in CIITS. Stages 1 and 2 outline the content and assessment for the lesson. In stage 3, where you design the learning activities/experiences, plan activities that provide multiple pathways for students to learn and show mastery of the content. Planning differentiated instruction enhanced by technology means that before any digital tools are chosen, before a single activity is determined, before assessment instruments are designed, the intended results must be decided. Then the technology should match the demands of the tasks. *Small number of students w/ IEP may require alternative curriculum.

Think about the tools like a content teacher. Keep your thinking
focused on teaching and how to move students. Utilize the
resources to richly impact the students in your classrooms.
1. What are the unique capacities of this tool? (i.e., What can I do
with it that I can’t do with anything else?)
2. What does it allow me to do that’s better (instructionally) than
what I could do without it?
When designing learning activities, use broad approaches that will meet the needs of categories of learners. Technology Tools Think about the tools like a content teacher. Keep your thinking focused on teaching and how to move students. Utilize the resources to richly impact the students in your classrooms. 1. What are the unique capacities of this tool? (i.e., What can I do with it that I can’t do with anything else?) 2. What does it allow me to do that’s better (instructionally) than what I could do without it?

Design learning experiences using verbs. For more detail, look at next slide. What verbs are found in the common core (KCAS) for your content area(s)?

Slide 16
When planning to use digital tools in your activities, use the following guiding questions. • What tools do my students know or might they learn to use? • What digital technologies are available to the students in the classroom, at school, at home?
What digital technologies can students bring with them to school to assist in their learning? • Will the digital technologies that are part of the options for students really improve their
learning relative to standards, learning targets or objectives, and intended learning results?* And don’t forget… Think about the tools like a content teacher. Keep your thinking focused on teaching and how to move students. Utilize the resources to richly impact the students in your classrooms. 1. What are the unique capacities of this tool? (i.e., What can I do with it that I can’t do with anything else?) 2. What does it allow me to do that’s better (instructionally) than what I could do without it?

Blended Learning
“Blended learning is any time a student learns at least in part at a supervised brick-and-mortar location away from home and at least in part through online delivery with some element of student control over time, place, path, and/or pace.” The Rise of K-12 Blended Learning; Horn and Staker, 2011

Blended Learning Models
1. Face-to-Face Driver
2. Rotation
3. Flex
4. Online Lab
5. Self-Blend
6. Online Driver
Focus of today’s session: Face-to-Face Driver The programs that fit in the face-to-face-driver category all retain face-to-face teachers to deliver most of their curricula. The physical teacher deploys online learning on a case-by-case basis to supplement or remediate, often in the back of the classroom or in a technology lab.

Revisit the essential question: What would learning be like in my classroom/school if learning experiences were designed with technology tools that would support the learning preferences of digital natives? Whole group feedback on the Action Steps handout (pass out them out at beginning of session so participants can take notes during the presentation). What is their plan for taking this info back to their district/school and implementing?
