Standard+3

** __Enhancing Core Teaching Skills with Technology__ **

#3. Model Digital-Age Work and Learning
=== Teachers exhibit knowledge, skills, and work processes representative of an innovative professional in a global and digital society. Teachers: ===
 * demonstrate fluency in technology systems and the transfer of current knowledge to new technologies and situations
 * collaborate with students, peers, parents, and community members using digital tools and resources to support student success and innovation
 * communicate relevant information and ideas effectively to students, parents, and peers using a variety of digital-age media and formats
 * model and facilitate effective use of current and emerging digital tools to locate, analyze, evaluate, and use information resources to support research and learning

===My artifacts demonstrating this standard (What?)===

= Wikis In Education = = Glogster Bookleads Link: =

http://bookleads.wikispaces.com/ = Wikis in Education: =

I explored the Bookleads Glogster. I found it very informative because I am interested in creating a Glogster in my classroom. The Glogster will be part of my integration plan. I was concerned if I would be able to model and support my students in this activity. While looking through Bookleads, I visited the discussion forum. One reply was, "How did you do it?" The creator shared the process. After looking through this Glogster, I feel I am on my way to researching the matter so I can learn it, then teach it. Using this technology will enable my students to express their creativity, while researching, interviewing community members, and creating a virtual recording of their world - "Austin." This Glogster allowed the students to create a poster type homepage, that was a collage of visually attractive photos and clip-art. Each picture had a title. When you click on the title, it takes you to another page that has links attached to support the topic. The students had author's websites, a public library, videos, podcasts, and even fan club links. I truly believe every 21st Century student will need these learning experiences to succeed. The Bookleads Glogster would address Standard 1 of the NETS-T. Facilitating and Inspiring Student Learning and Creativity. I will include the link to the Bookleads Glogster for anyone interested in doing one.

= Collaboration Project-Voicethreads =

I would like to use voicethreads in my goal. I will be creating a classroom glogster on the Austin Centennial. My students will be researching the history of Austin. Each student will choose a community topic such as the Austin Dam Break. As part of their research and creating the glogster, they could do a voicethread describing their topic. They could describe photos, interviews with people in the communities or read of part of their research. The thinking, planning and creative processes would have to be modeled by the teacher and supported by the community. The voicethread will be added to glogster to present the information gathered by the students,in a creative style. I am placing this activity in Standard 3, Model Digital-Age Work and Learning. As the teacher I will have to be knowledgable with creating a glogster and a voicethread. I will have to collaborate with my peers, students, community members and parents to support the students success. []

= My Reflection on meeting this standard (So What?) =

//Modeling Digital Age Work and Learning is the relevant standard to my Integration Plan. My posts suggest I will model technology skills with fluency and skill.//
==//I will transfer paper - pencil research knowledge to 21st Century technology. I will take my students from the traditional research format to using technology to research, gather, analyze, record and present information in a creative Glogster type presentation.//==

==//The digital tool resources (Wiki, Glogster, Voicethreads ) will allow my students to use current and emerging technology to communicate with their classmates, family and community in the presentation of their 3rd grade research report.//==

= My Future Learning Goals related to this standard (Now What?) = = My future goals for this standard is to improve on //it yearly. This research reporn format will be a constant work in progress. As technology evolves, so will our research report. Iwill keep fluent in this technology, use many media forms, and collaborate with my peers in order to demonstrate Work and Learning in the Digital Age.//=
