  6. National Educational Technology Standards for Students

  7. Problem Solving & Decision Making “What students should know and be able to do to learn effectively and live productively in an increasingly digital world ...” • Students use critical thinking skills to plan and conduct research, manage projects, solve problems and make informed decisions using appropriate digital tools and resources. Students: • identify and define authentic problems and significant questions for investigation. • plan and manage activities to develop a solution or complete a project. • collect and analyze data to identify solutions and/or make informed decisions. • use multiple processes and diverse perspectives to explore alternative solutions.

  8. National Educational Technology Standards for Teachers

  9. A Taxonomy for Integrating Technology Increasing Complexity of Technology Skills • Technology choices become autonomous Increasing Levels of Cognition • Curriculum mastery deepens

  10. Schedule • Theory and Foundation • Hardware / Software Overview • Designing an Experiment (Inspiration) • Collecting Data - Taking Pictures • Collecting Data - Video Capture • Collecting Data - Using Probes • Collecting Data - Recording Podcasts • Recording Data - Use Web 2.0 Tools • “Writing” it Up - Using Templates • Q & A

  11. Lab Tools What you need Websites to provide labs PowerPoint Inspiration Logger Pro / DataStudio iMovie / MovieMaker Word Excel Internet Access - Web 2.0 Lab Process What our students do The End Product Pre-lab During Lab Post Lab Critical Thinking, Problem Solving, & Decision Making End

  12. What is Digitizing the Classroom? • Taking the things that take place in the classroom and making them available digitally • Worksheets / Handouts - Teacher Output • Lectures / Discussions / Anything Audible • Demonstrations • Lab Reports / Papers - Student Input • Homework • Boardnotes • Data Collection

  13. Pedagogical Foundations • Curriculum must drive the need for technology integration • Technology is the tool used to facilitate student-centered learning • Scaffolding technology skills has to occur prior to the expectation that students can make thoughtful choices about its appropriate use • Degree to which students can utilize technology is also dependent upon their level of cognitive ability.

  14. Core Science Teaching Philosophies • Science should be Hands-On (Wheatley) • Conceptual Change (Posner, Strike, Hewitt, & Herzog) • Peer Instruction (Mazur)

  15. Hardware WebCam Otherwise Digital Camera Camera Cards Batteries Card Reader Optional Digital Camcorder Firewire / USB Cable Microphone Probes / Interface Software Office Suite (Google Docs) Word, PPT, Excel Inspiration (Mindomo) Photobooth (Mac only) iMovie / Moviemaker (JumpCut) Audacity Logger Pro / DataStudio Equipment Needs

  16. Working with Students • Provide written or video instructions • Quick demonstrations • Facilitate class • Using Templates • Poster Session • Lab Reports

  17. Non Traditional Lab Reports • Backwards Design Model • Poster Sessions - PowerPoint • PowerPoint • Inspiration • iMovie / MovieMaker • iWeb • Wikis

  18. Designing Experiments • Inspiration - Mind Mapping • Cmap / Mindomo - free alternative • Web 2.0: MyWebspiration, Mindomo, Mindmeister • Give students template • Task: Design an experiment examining how air resistance affects falling coffee filters.

  19. WebCams • Set up the shot • Click the camera and count to 3 • Flip photo if needed • Mac Screen Capture - Apple - Shift - 4 • Hold the Control key, Click and drag • Windows - Alt-Prnt Screen or Prnt Screen

  20. Collecting Data - Taking Pictures • Use WebCam to take pictures • Drag to Desktop for later use • Task: Take pictures of your equipment and experimental setup

  21. Teacher Notes • Downsize images before inserting into PowerPoint • Set digital cameras to low resolution

  22. Collecting Data - Video Capture • Task: Use WebCam to take video of the experimental runs. The video should show the differences in the runs. • Flip Video

  23. Teacher Notes • Record video on the fly - no tapes • Have students script their words • Use tripod or steady camera position • Video first, narrate later

  24. Collecting Data - Using Probes • Probes measure more quickly • Digitize the data • Task: Measure the acceleration of the filters falling; vary the number of filters

  25. Recording Data • Google Docs • Word Processing, Data Tables, Graphs • Wikis - Warehouse of Information • http://edtechinnovators.wikispaces.com/NECC • Task: Report your data to the Wiki above. Measurement should include number of filters and acceleration measured.

  26. Collecting Data - Podcasting • Use Audacity to record observations of this lab • Task: Create a podcast of observations

  27. Teacher Notes • Have students work collaboratively outside of class using Web 2.0 tools such as Google Docs • Students can paste Excel data into Word • Watch formatting of tables and document

  28. Using Templates - Easier Writeups • PowerPoint • Poster Session • Kiosk (set up transitions) • Lab write-up • Word • Notebook / Tabbed View • Inspiration

  29. During Lab • Notebook • Screen Capture • Cameras • Camcorders • Scanners • Digital Slate • Microphone - Podcasting • Virtual Labs - Confirming Work and Extending • Probes • Vernier - Logger Pro • Pasco - DataStudio

  30. Science Probes • Vernier and Pasco probeware used to collect and plot data • What to do after the datais collected?

  31. Data Reporting / Analysis • Software to Use - Students Make Choices • Word • Excel / Graphical Analysis / Zoho / Google Docs • PowerPoint • Templates • Inspiration • iMovie • Collaboration • Discussions • Web 2.0 Tools

  32. Digital Notebooks • Examine software from Interactive Whiteboards including mimio and Smart • Word Template • Look online - Circus Ponies • Hardware component: Wacom pads

  33. Examples • Lab Reports • Students create a page for every required laboratory section • Template can be provided • Students Integrate digital media into lab report • Poster Session Template • Inspiration • Excel Writeup • Wiki

  34. Post Lab Activities • Portfolios and Showing Off • Blogging - Telling everyone about it • Student to Student Communication • Critique each other

  35. Task • Download and Edit Poster Session Template • Collect Data • Screen capture Graph • Alternate: Use Media Zip file • Download and Edit the Inspiration Templates • Scientific Method • Post Lab Analysis

  36. Conclusion / Questions • Any files submitted will be placed on our website / wiki • Zip files Task: Finish your write-up of the experiment and submit
