2. 2 The Methods & Practices of Teaching Learn by doing
-John Dewey Instructional Theory into Practice -Madeline Hunter
Understanding by Design -Wiggins & McTighe Trivium &
Quadrivium -The 7 Liberal Arts TPACK model -Matthew J. Koehler
3. Does this look familiar?
4. We need to rethink the way we teach ..
5. And we need to be using technology
6. Meet Matt
7. Evolving Learning Environment 8 Students Shift from
information consumers to creative problem solvers Read complex
texts and write extensively Collaborate and present their work
Become self-directed, lifelong learners Teachers Use technology to
personalize learning Shift from sage on stage to teacher as
learning facilitator Meet higher expectations for student outcomes
Increase focus on professional learning & growth Intel

technology can enhance our teaching 1. Educational technologies can
improve student achievement, so long as such tools are integrated
thoughtfully into teaching and learning 2. Flipped Classroom 3.
Guide on the side technology provides many different sources of
expertise 4. Creativity in the classroom 5. Active Learning

12. Benefits of a Flipped Classroom Students Teachers Students
learn at various speeds Teachers become guide on the side Students
are provided opportunity for review Teacher spend more time
supporting students Students do not struggle with how to do their
homework because they forgot Teachers are not spending hours
tutoring or re-explaining concepts to those that didnt understand
Students take ownership of their learning Teachers collaborate with
peers to create the materials Students are actively working with
their peers Teachers connect with all students
13. Pros Cons Students no longer struggle with challenging
concepts alone outside of school Making sure every student has
access to a computer and internet access Students can skip parts of
the lesson they already understand and re-watch new or challenging
ideas Students cannot ask clarifying questions as they are watching
Applying the learning in the classroom Technology issues Students
come to class prepped and ready to learn no down time Determining
how to handle students who do not complete the videos Encourages
higher student engagement Makes learning central, rather than
teaching

15. Teachers Are No Longer the Keeper of All Information.there
are many different sources of expertise
16. Making the World Smaller . To connect to many different
sources of expertise
17. Mobile DevicesAllow access to many different sources of
expertise anytime/anywhere
18. Video, Simulations, Models are one of the many different
sources of expertise
19. Online Conversation Outside the Classroom allow us to
connect to many different sources of expertise

21. Critical Thinking: Critical thinking is essential for
creativity. In order to be creative, students must be able to ask
questions, evaluate and use information, think open-mindedly, and
communicate effectively. Imagination: The ability to imagine is a
necessary component of creativity. Imagination allows students to
think of unique and unusual ideas. Idea Generation: To begin a
creative process, people must be fluent at generating ideas. Most
ideas come from other ideas, some that are not worth much on their
own but that generate further thinking. Reflective Judgment:
Students who produce original, creative products have a refined
sense of self-reflection and judgment. They have the skills to
determine if an idea is worth pursuing, and if it has merit, they
can organize and plan ways to make their ideas come to life.

28. Instructional Approach Lesson: Probability Learning Space
Passive Learning 1. The teacher introduces the topic of probability
in a whole class demonstration/ppt presentation and lecture 2.
Students individually complete a few problems and the rest as
homework 3. Next day in class they switch papers and grade 4.
Teacher presents next topic in sequence and assigns practice
exercises A classroom with individual desks and all have a view of
the teachers presentation Individual spaces for students to work on
assignments by themselves
29. Instructional Approach Lesson: Probability Learning Space
Active Learning 1. Teacher puts students in pairs to play a
probability game 2. Students record results in an online document
3. Student pairs join into small groups to discuss results and
answer open-ended questions 4. Each group shares their conclusions
with the class 5. Teacher conducts discussion based on their
conclusions 6. Students write in their journals about what they
thought about probability before and after the experiment 7.
Teacher engages students in whole class discussion where they
formalize their learning from the experiment Places for students to
meet as pairs while being observed by the teacher Small group
spaces under teacher supervision with access to technology Large
group area with view of screens for presentations Large group area
with view of each other for discussions Individual spaces where
students can complete individual work quietly
30. Different Spaces that Support Digital Learning Small group,
large group, independent places. Activity What works? What doesnt
work? Small group collaboration Large group discussion and
instruction and presentation Use of technology to gather, process,
synthesize learning Independent study Experimentation and hands-on
learning
31. Spatial Implications of Technology-Rich Learning
Integrating technology into classrooms mandates flexibility and
activity-based space planning Spatial boundaries are loosening High
tech and low tech will exist Patty
32. Nobody knows what the future will bring.. Thirty years ago,
who would have believed we would be carrying powerful computers in
our pockets? And not riding around in flying cars (The Jetsons)
Even if we cannot predict the successful technologies of the future
We can be certain teachers will be greatly challenged when
preparing students in our constantly changing cultural, social, and
technological environment
33. We are not going to be able to predict the skills that
people will need in 20 years We need to Rethink the Way we Teach To
make sure our students will be successful
