“Teachers” - When I become a teacher…Teacher Reflections
Consider how work and living environments and modes of communication have changed in the last 40 years!
School Leaders and teachers need to change the pedagogical model
to prepare students to work and live in that 21st century as individuals in an interdependent society
“Flat" = “Connected"
the lowering of trade and political barriers
the exponential technical advances of the digital revolution
access to vast amounts of informationIt is now possible to communicate, collaborate, do
business, or almost anything else, instantaneously with billions of other people across the planet
Has education really changed?
Learning is a teacher directed moment
In MOST classrooms, teachers
own the learning
A New Pedagogical Instructional Model
We must create a shift of control
to have students
manage their own learning
and become
Self-directed Learners
Technology Standards National Educational Technology Standards for
Students
The Next Generation “What students should know and be able to do to learn effectively and live productively in an increasingly digital world …”
National Educational Technology Standards for Teachers
National Educational Technology Standards for Administrators
Click on the Manhattan Title IID Wiki and reflect on how well your students are being prepared to meet these standards.
Reframing the Focus of Education Teachers and Students Must Become
Information Literate
Students must:
•Develop the ability to recognize and articulate a need for information
•Locate, evaluate and use that information from various formats:Internet Resources Online Databases Print or Electronic MediaFace to Face and Online Interviews
•Know and understand the literacy, protocols, and marketing strategies of the Internet
•Recognize the power of the Internet to influence opinions and policy
•Understand that what they put on the Internet now can and probably will be subjected to review when applying to college or a job.
Students who are invested in Project-Based learning
develop :• Global Communication Skills • Information Literacy Skills • Critical Thinking Skills• Problem Solving Skills• The Ability to Work on a Team• Global Work Ethics• Technology Skills• Nonfiction Literacy Skills
And become
Knowledge ManagersContent Producers instead of Content ConsumersAble to Compete for jobs in a Global Economy

Creating A Technology Action Plan
One option:Teachers collaborate to develop grade level projects that:
Grade K- ABC Publishing Project
The student will learn ABCs
The student will learn to search for pictures on the Internet and/or scan illustrations that correspond to alphabet letters and phonetic sounds
The student will insert pictures into PowerPoint slides
The student will learn to articulate words and phonetic sounds for all letters of the alphabet
The student will record letter names, sounds, and words that are associated with pictures representing that sound
Grade 1 – Electronic Word Walls
The students will learn words from phonetic families
The student will locate on the Internet / illustrate & scan drawings corresponding to words on word wall

The student records words, associated with each picture, and then uses the word in a sentence
The student publishes electronic word wall on classroom workstation and on the web.
The student will learn about animals. The student will learn about
non-fiction literacy skills. The student will learn about basic
information technology skills, including those relating to research and writing. (Science)
The student will narrate and record their story and publish it in print and on the web.
Grade 2 - Nonfiction Animal Research & Book Publishing Project
Focusing Question:
How Does Weather, Climate, Geography, Topography, and Natural Resources way people live and work in world communities?
•Think.com – collaboration with students in U.S. and world cities
•GoogleEarth
•NASA GLOBE Program, Queens College
Grade 3 - Research and Web Publishing Project (Science/Social Studies)
The student will explore their school's neighborhood, including the patterns of immigration, physical changes over time, and community development from past to present
The student will deepen their understandings of the social studies curriculum and improve their nonfiction literacy skills.
The student will learn how to conduct effective face to face and online interviews.

Grade 6 – The Development of Global Communities
The students will use Template Island, a microcosm society, to study community
development

The student will explore geography, topography, natural resources, climate,
weather, government, agriculture, industry, and economics of countries in the
Eastern Hemisphere
The student will locate and use primary source documents, blogs, interviews,
online maps, and nonfiction literature to study history as a global historian.
To understand the present and look into the future, an exploration of different time periods will show that trends, tendencies and movements are inclined to repeat. The purpose of this project is to create a theoretical foundation for these developments and use it to understand the history of countries of the eastern hemisphere, compare and contrast, explore similarities, and understand their historical development.
Template Island
