2. “iPad Day” •  a.k.a.  “the  new”  CK512  is  going  to  be   awesome   •  Agenda   – Planning  for  technology  in  the  classroom   – Affordance  analysis   – Room  and  tech  logisAcs   – Time  for  quesAons,  lesson  planning,  and  working   with  colleagues  
3. Goals: •  Share  tools  for  analyzing  and  applying   instrucAonal  technology   •  Discuss  plans  for  teaching  in  CK512   •  Provide  Ame  and  space  for  “purposeful  play”   and  lesson  planning   2

5. Teaching with Technology 3  
6. Highlights of Immersion Program Learning Outcomes: –  Develop  a  personal  technology  literacy  framework   that  emphasizes  pracAcality  and  accessibility  in  order   to  integrate  outcomes-­‐based  instruc0onal   technology  into  teaching  and  learning   –  UAlize  reflec5on  and  dialogue  in  order  to  foster  a   criAcal  approach  to  instrucAonal  technology   applicaAons   –  Integrate  instruc0onal  design  methodology  in  one's   teaching  pracAce  in  order  to  create  learner-­‐focused,   engaging,  and  innova5ve  instruc5onal  experiences  
7. Highlights of Immersion Reflec&ve  Teaching,   Effec&ve  Learning   Char  Booth   •  ReflecAve  PracAce   •  EducaAonal  Theory   •  Teaching  Technologies   •  InstrucAonal  Design  
8. Highlights of Immersion My project goals: •  Explore  how  to  uAlize  technology  in  CK512   •  Adapt  a  loosely  defined  lesson  plan  for  a  topic  development   and  informa0on  evalua0on  session  for  TSEM  102   •  Use  instruc0onal  technology  to  support  student  learning   –  Peer  learning,  collaboraAon,  facilitate  learning  and  idea   exchange  in  mulAple  ways.   –  Apps  that  help  students  see  connecAons  between  various   facets  of  their  topic.     –  Apps  that  allow  students  to  manipulate  resources  (e.g.,   highlighAng,  note  taking)  and  linking  resources  to  specific   aspects  of  their  topic  aVer  evaluaAon.  
10. Highlights of Immersion Key Takeaways for Cook Library & CK512: – Start  with  the  instrucAonal  problem,  then  try  to   apply  technology  appropriately   – Teaching  with,  about,  around  technology   – A  liXle  goes  a  long  way   – There  is  no  one-­‐size-­‐fits-­‐all   – We’re  doing  something  exciAng

12. iPads in Instruction Themes from the Literature •  Access  to  informaAon  enhances  in-­‐class   discussion   •  Maximize  collaboraAve  potenAal   •  PotenAal  for  tapping  into  different  learning  styles   and  preferences   •  Technology  learning  curve   •  Need  for  purposeful,  structured,  “innovaAve”   acAviAes  –  implementaAon  maXers  
14. “Tool kit” approach •  Experience,  evaluate,  customize  technologies   •  Not  necessary  to  understand  every  single   technology,  app,  etc.     •  IdenAfy  and  understand  affordances     – “qualiAes  of  an  object  that  lend  themselves  to   being  used”   – “teachable  properAes  of  specific  technologies”   •  Look  for:  characterisAcs,  outcomes,    caveats,   and  affordances  for  the  learner  and  instructor   Booth,  p.88  
15. Affordance Analysis 1.  Assessment   2.  Collabora&on   3.  Communica&on   4.  Customiza&on   5.  Documenta&on   6.  Play   7.  Portability     8.  Produc&vity   9.  Sharing   10. Visualiza&on   Affordance categories Booth,  p.65  
16. Example: iPad
17. Activity (20-25 min) •  Groups  of  3,  conduct  an  affordance  analysis  on  one   of  the  following  applicaAons  or  websites  on  the  iPad:   •  Prezi   •  Google  Drive   •  SocraAve  (student  and   teacher)   •  Popplet  (lite)   •  Haiku  Deck   •  EducreaAons   •  Padlet   •  Share  top  insights  from  analysis  with  the  group   –  Kim  will  collect  sheets  and  post  results  (somewhere,   TBD)  for  later  review   Bonus!  List  affordances  not  included  in  the  list  of  ten  and  describe  what  they  could   accomplish  pedagogically

21. … activity examples Would you rather? …take  an  exam  for  50%  of  your  final  grade?   OR   …  write  a  research  paper  for  50%  of  your  final  grade?     –  Open  the  Poll  Everywhere  site  from  the  iPad  home   screen     –  Enter  the  correct  code  for  your  answer:   •  212723  for  “Take  an  exam”   •  212743  for  “Write  a  paper”  
22. Creating a Concept Map •  A  concept  map  is  a  diagram  that  can  be  created  to   show  connecAons  between  different  aspects  of  a   topic.   •  Sample:  “Social  media”   •  Use  the  iPad  app  “Popplet  (lite)”  to  create  a  concept   map  for  your  own  group  project  topic   –  Demo  of  app   –  See  handout  and  ask  for  more  help  if  need  it   … activity examples

24. … activity examples Sample Concept Map
25. Finishing Your Concept Map •  When  you’re  done,  take  a  picture  of  your  concept   map  (see  the  handout  for  direcAons  to  do  this).   •   Open  the  TU  Student  Email  link  on  the  home  screen   •  Email  a  copy  of  your  map  to  your  self  and  to  your   librarian  (kimberlymiller@towson.edu)  along  with  the   answer  to  the  quesAon:   –   What  is  one  new  quesAon  you  have  about  your  topic?   … activity examples
27. Your Time, Use as You Choose •  Sites  to  discover  apps:   – “Free  Technology  For  Teachers”   – “iPad  Apps  for  Schools”   – “Bloomin’  Apps”   –   “Padagogy  Wheel  3.0”   – Links  to  these  at  hXp://bit.ly/CookApps     •  Talk  to  others,  strategize,  share  ideas   •  Outlining  lessons   •  Asking  quesAons
