All faculty: I get to torture you for a few more minutes!

THEME: No Excuses!from the movie "October Skies". If you don't know something about

technology, look it up! Check out QuickStarts! YouTube it! Google it! Join a PLC! Ask a Peer. Ask a Student. Subscribe to an online journal: Edutopia. Access online training: Atomic Learning

Become a self-motivated learner as a model for your students.

Avoid the emerging global collaboration gap!Prioritize your time to work smarter

(Edmodo, TigerTube, Epsilen) not harder.

GOAL: Return to your First LoveRevelation 2:4

Nevertheless I have this against you, that you have left your first love.

First love as a Christian is to remember who you are and who serve

First love as a Teacher is to remember who you are and who you serve. LOVE TEACHING STUDENTS! Stop teaching air!

Look to their best interests. SERVE THEM. “Schools were NOT built for Teachers! “

MOVE FROM BORING TO SCORING!The Dept of Ed has completed a mega study

that show that hybrid courses create the best learning environment for student success.

Hybrid courses have these features:Online content, media, videos, simulations,

graphics, audio lectures, etc. that assist students in learning short concepts 24/7

Digital content delivered over the Web that frees up the teacher to interact and collaborate more with students

Frees the teacher from tedious re-teach events

MOVE FROM BORING TO ENGAGED!A natural progression from a hybrid

(blended) course is the “Flipped Classroom”.Once a teacher has content online, the next

year, that teacher can require the content to be viewed before class leaving time in the classroom for:

Projects, discussions, collaboration, labs, fun interactions, exploring, creating, extending…all the things we have said we don’t have time to do during a class period.

1:1 InitiativeEvery teacher and staff member needs to

cooperate in order for students to improve. Parents want you to be in contact with YOU:

Letter home to parents First Week - Expectations (Blog, Edmodo, email, etc.)

Students leaving computers in your classroom…is OK! Don’t send them down to us, if the student notifies you. You cannot charge them a $1 for leaving computers in your classroom.

Coaches must allow students to leave computers in coaching office before games and open the office after games!

1:1 InitiativeStudents DO NOT have to lug a computer home

if they have connectivity and access at home.Students will pay $35 for a loaned laptop & $50

per damage event.All OdysseyWare students WILL sign an

statement of accountability for computers they use at school

All classrooms will have additional computers for students who need them at school but have access at home.

All teachers will provide digital content for extending the educational environment 24/7

Learning environment:Look at your classroom, your supply list,

your expectations for classroom assignments:

1. Are they 19th Century or 21st Century Skill sets that you are promoting?

2. Are you demonstrating and modeling acquisition of new skills to your students on a regular basis. Are YOU excited about learning new things? Or are your old teaching habits getting in the way?

3. Can you relate your content to the real-world?

BYOTAre you interested in bringing your own

Technology to School this year?Pros & Cons:Faculty & Seniors may use their own

technology for educational purposes only while in the district

Device MUST come to Tech Dept, sign contract, & get a sticker!!!No soap operas, Youtube entertainment,

streaming video or radio!!!Contracts & Guidelines available via emailjoy@arpisd.org

Bandwidth Issues Imagine your garden facet supplying 1000 hoses…how much water would come out of each hose?

Bandwidth IssuesArp ISD is blessed to have large bandwidth

available to its users. HOWEVER, this bandwidth can be quickly eaten up by those who abuse the system.

Please DO NOT use our bandwidth during school hours for:Streaming music, radio, TV, etc.Surfing for pleasure, shopping online, etc.
