Lecture- Administration
Technology uses:
memos, letters reports budgets
make sure students meet standards
1. lesson plans
meet all standards
track lessons for next time
revise --> improve
submit lesson plans
graphing assessment
tools: curriki- includes lesson plans with videos
2. Learning management systems
HotChalk- similar to oncourse, lessons, assignments
Moodle- discussion boards, resources, quizzes
IQuity
3. Data driven decisions
Information to improve teaching
NCLB- data required on every student
hard data provides objective view on how/what to improve
Technological devices:
PDA to track students with emergency info, behavior reports, grades, photos, etc
Electronic Gradebook
Student IDs
Skills based report cards
MyGradebook
--Side Notes--
I find it freaky that a teacher could have an exobident amount of information about any student at the end of his/her fingertips. I also think that the PDA just sets teachers up to profile kids and not actually get to know them. 1984! BIG BROTHER

Lecture- Assessment
True False
Advantages- Short, grading is easy
Limitations- Rote memorization
Matching
L- Process of elimination, recognize rather than recall
A- Associations, quick
Fill in the Blank
L- harder to measure higher thinking skills
A- guessing decreased, explore more content
Multiple Choice
L- difficult to write/plan distracters, more than one best answer
A- students must be able to recognize "best" answer, confront misconceptions
Essay
L- bluffing, time consuming
A- expand on knowledge
Portfolio
Open Ended Experiences
L- many correct answers, difficult to grade
A- novel situations, judged by students responses
examples: mock trials, debates, simulated experiences
Long Term Projects
Use Assessment by following up on results!
Rubrics available online through Rubistar and similar programs
K/W/L chart
formative- assessment during lesson to make sure students understand and grasp concepts
summative- assessment at the end of the lesson to see what the students learned

lab
professional standards- how I will be evaluated
Integrate standards into justifications
link in resources sections
homework:
find academic standards area, start reading and gain familiarity with way things are phrased.
each artifact should IDEALLY address a standard-- go through standards and think about how the things we've done in class could be one way to get at what the standard is asking of us.

examples: sort data/query database
record interviews
Specific Tools- Excel, Google Spreadsheets, Inspirdata, Timeliner, OpenOffice.org Calc, Num Sum, Edit Grid
In class activities:
motion detector, automatically inserted in to chart
thermometer, automatically inserted in to chart

October 14th Lab
By next lab, read comments on wiki and reply to Craig's comments. Make changes on e-portfolio and create prioritized list of things to work on.
Artifact about grading: propose rubric (grading procedure)
Personal Productivity Tools
Power point allows teacher more time for direct instruction (euuh?)
GRADE helps justify using a PPT
Justification- Google Calendar helps with collaboration and coordination without having to mail things around. Provides access for people in different locations to the same calendar. Great to use in team teaching.
--Side Notes--
We had to take a ten minute break because the internet went down and there was a possibility that we might not be able to work on our artifacts. It began working again but the incident was just a reminder of how out of hand our dependence on technology is.
