DESIGNING LEARNING ACTIVITIES FOR EVALUATING AND CREATING
Unit 6
Objectives
Design guided learning activities at the Evaluating and Creating cognitive levels utilizing the 4-step process of backward design
Differentiate between the kinds of digital tools for teaching and learning during the Guided Learning Activities in your classroom that use the cognitive levels of evaluating and creating
Analyze scaffolding techniques to phase out student support in order to develop independent learners
Review Chapter 7
Review the ideas you learned in Unit 5 from Chapter 7 from Integrating Technology into Teaching . You will continue thinking about designing learning activities that are constructivist in nature and that help students master the learning you chose for this unit.
Step 2: Selecting Instructional Strategies In previous units, learning activities
and learning targets focused on constructing knowledge as they remembered, developed understanding, analyzed or applied.
In this unit, learning activities are utilizing all that constructed knowledge to evaluate or create something new
Answering the essential questions

At this phase of backward design, you must pause to check that the supports for learning are gradually “fading” away…that the learning includes students learning how to think independently
Scaffold categories
Conceptual
Metacognitive
Procedural
Strategic
How will I provide varied and differentiated experiences so that all learners develop the requisite skills, procedures and knowledge they require in the medium of the culminating performance?
How will I provide the coaching and support to help students move from initial modeling and shaping of skills and procedures I am teaching toward increasing levels of independent use and creative self-expression?
How will I encourage my students to be self-reflective and self-evaluative as they explore and express themselves in the culminating project and as they answer the essential questions?
How will I build into their learning experiences opportunities to revisit, revise, refine, and rethink what they are doing and how they are doing it?
How will I build in options for peer coaching and peer critique?
It is the intentional scaffolding of activities that brings the student to the place where they can successfully perform the most complex task required in the Culminating Performance and as they answer the essential questions.

These are the levels we will
be studying in this
unit.

Evaluating
Blogging with commenting and reflecting Blogger Drupal Edublogs Typepad Wordpress
Posting
Moving beyond the simple answer requires students to analyze and evaluate what is being said in the conversation.
It must be responsive to others Reveals deeper connections to ideas
beyond the “I agree” or “I think that’s good” level
Wikis provide a place to collaboratively work on writing, incorporating peer evaluations and sharing
Moderating
Evaluating other people’s posts and comments puts students in position of higher level critical thinking
Voicethread is one of the easiest ways for students to generate content and then moderate the responses that are posted.
Wikis and blogs can also function in this way…but it is more difficult for teachers to monitor
Collaborating and networking Students can work with not only
other students in their classroom, but other people that might share their interests
Good opportunity for students to work real-world content experts
Validating
Verify the accuracy and authority of websites by critically analyzing the web site’s authors
Cybersmart has an excellent lesson to incorporate here K-1 Explore what makes a good website 2-3 Explore and compare websites 4-5 Discuss and apply rating
information to sites 6-8 Using criteria, students grade
websites 9-12 Applying key criteria to multiple
websites
Graphic organizers and advanced organizers Explicit clues Rubrics=excellent advanced
organizers Build visual literacy using concept
mapping software throughout unit. Use differently depending on cognitive level
Using simulations
Marzano studies show a gain of 43 percentile points when students manipulated this kind of digital learning tool
Examples include National Library of Virtual Manipulatives Gizmos Concord Consortium Shodor

Programming original content Scratch Alice Squeak
Digital images mixing and remixing Students capture, create, mix and
remix digital images to communicate their ideas and viewpoint
Write, create storyboards, explain ideas, create settings and props, edit digital images (incorporating feedback from peers), adding music, writing credits and saving/sharing resulting product
Publishing Done via the web or from desktop
software Like the previous kind of digital
activity, publishing is multi-step and requires scaffolding to ensure successful culminating performance
Wikis or blogs good choices Animoto CogDogRoo Storytelling
Assignments and Activities for Unit 61. Post what you learned about using a social
networking site on your Moodle blog. 2. Complete the Online Discussion about
learning targets at the Evaluating and Creating levels.
3. As you finalize the learning targets from the Online Discussion, post those to your wiki page.
4. Review CogDogRoo Storytelling tools. Pick out 1 or 2 to discuss in Online Discussion with your classmates.
Learning Target Discussion Complete the Online Discussion about learning
targets at the Evaluating and Creating levels. You should post your learning targets by Wednesday, September 23rd so that your classmates can read and comment on what you've drafted
Then you should comment and dialog with everyone so they can fine tune their learning targets and integrated technology. This online discussion will be due by Saturday, September 26th.
As you finalize the learning targets from the Online Discussion, post those to your wiki page. This is due by Sunday, September 27th.
Storytelling Tools Review
Read through the CogDogRoo Storytelling website.
Pick one tool from two categories to share with your classmates
Original post due by Wednesday, September 23rd.
Comments are due by Saturday, September
