    19. The Times They Are A-Changin' Todd A. Fishburn Bloom’s Taxonomy

    20. The Times They Are A-Changin' Todd A. Fishburn Our Students Today…. Bottle caps have not only always been screw off, but have always been plastic; they have no idea what a pull-top can looks like. They have never owned a record player. They have always had cable. There have always been VCRs, but they have no idea what BETA is. There has always been MTV.

    21. The Times They Are A-Changin' Todd A. Fishburn

    22. The Times They Are A-Changin' Todd A. Fishburn Our Students Today…. Kansas, Chicago, Boston, and Alabama are places, not groups. The Tonight Show has always been with Jay Leno. They don’t know who Mork is and where he was from. Popcorn has always been cooked in the microwave.

    23. The Times They Are A-Changin' Todd A. Fishburn Learning Styles Learning Styles lend themselves to technology integration What are they: Linguistic Logical/Mathematical Spatial Musical Bodily/Kinesthetic Interpersonal Intrapersonal www.seaford.k12.de.us/it/etc204/learning_styles.htm

    24. The Times They Are A-Changin' Todd A. Fishburn Essential Questions Pose the one or two overarching questions that frame the assignment or topic to be covered. Once posed, they guide the teacher in lesson development and the students in learning.

    25. The Times They Are A-Changin' Todd A. Fishburn Essential Questions What were the causes and effects of the Civil War? This is not really an EQ since there is a definitive list of causes and effects that a student can memorize at a lower cognitive level. Instead of this, try these----

    26. The Times They Are A-Changin' Todd A. Fishburn Essential Questions Sample 1: Are we still fighting the Civil War? Sample 2: What outcomes of the Civil War affect our society today? When social issues divide a country, can it ever be made whole again? Was the real reason behind the Civil War slavery, territorial hatred, or a quest for individual wealth?

    27. The Times They Are A-Changin' Todd A. Fishburn Tips for Technology Using Teachers Think differently …step outside the box! Be kind to techies! Have a plan B, C, & D. Don’t be afraid of students who know more than you do! (tap their abilities) Practice

    28. The Times They Are A-Changin' Todd A. Fishburn A Shift…..

    29. The Times They Are A-Changin' Todd A. Fishburn The Evolution of the Classroom One-Room School House Teachers taught reading, writing, & math School started late and ended early Narrow and controlled by the teacher

    30. The Times They Are A-Changin' Todd A. Fishburn The Evolution of the Classroom Today Students still attend factory-model schools Are they passively listening to lectures?

    31. The Times They Are A-Changin' Todd A. Fishburn The Evolution of the Classroom Technology by itself is not enough Has drill n’ kill moved from the worksheet to the computer? Changing roles Students assume some of the functions previously reserved for the teacher Students act as peer-tutors Learn to communicate @ an early age Direct own learning

    32. The Times They Are A-Changin' Todd A. Fishburn

    33. The Times They Are A-Changin' Todd A. Fishburn Collaborative Projects What are they? Engaging activities linked to the curriculum that connect groups of classes or teachers to complete activities Examples Create a Monster Monarch Tracking “Bucket Buddies” Projects within a school

    39. The Times They Are A-Changin' Todd A. Fishburn It’s Not the Technology….It’s the Process & Product! I have a spelling checker; it came with my PC. It clearly marks four my revue miss steakes I cannot sea; I ran this poem threw it, I’m sure you’re please to no. Its let her perfect in it’s weight, my checker tolled me sew. Author Unknown

My teacher should give me 5 4 3 2 1 (circle one) bonus points today because… One thing I learned from my partner (s) was… It was really interesting to learn that… The neatest thing I did today was… One thing that I am still wondering about is… A song that will remind me of today is________ because ….

    45. The Times They Are A-Changin' Todd A. Fishburn THE BIG POTATO DISGUISE GRADES: 5-9 MATERIALS: a potato per student index cards various art materials METHOD: Announce to the students: "This week your homework assignment is to disguise a potato. You may not cut your potato to disguise it, but you need to somehow make it appear to be something other than a potato. Dress it in a costume, add different things to it, do whatever you like, but it should not look like something you will have for dinner when you are finished. Your potato is due on Friday. Be sure to include a 3 X 5 card telling us the name of your potato and it's job. After you have decided how to disguise your potato, you need to write about it. You have a choice of writing assignments this week. Choose one from below, or do your own. Descriptive: 1. Write a letter to your friend telling what your favorite thing is to do as a potato. 2. Describe what your potato looks like in its disguise. Expository (an explanation): 1. Write a letter to your friend telling how to do your favorite thing as a potato. 2. Describe how you made the costume for your potato. Narrative (a story told in sequence): 1. Write about a day in your life--as your potato. 2. Write about the time you met a new potato friend, and what happened. Persuasive (try to convince someone to change an action or opinion): 1. Write a letter trying to talk another potato into applying for a job like the job your potato has. Write it as the potato. 2. Write a letter to the judge trying to convince them to choose your potato for first place in the disguise contest.

    46. The Times They Are A-Changin' Todd A. Fishburn POLAR EXPRESS GRADES: K-5 In this lesson, students will participate in the re-enactment of the book The Polar Express. MATERIALS: book-The Polar Express video-The Polar Express hot chocolate and marshmellows cups golden bells and golden cording robes for all students tickets (optional) METHOD: Students listen to the teacher read the book The Polar Express. After listening, students put on their robes and go to buy their "tickets" to board the train (we had our counselor "sell" tickets in the cafeteria). It's nice to take a side trip outside on the sidewalk around the school, especially if the air is a little nippy--this gives them a feeling of what actually happened in the book! Students then parade through the school with their ticket in hand until they reach the conductor of the train, who welcomes them aboard dressed in a hat and with a train whistle. Students are seated in the hallway and watch the video of The Polar Express. While watching, students are served hot chocolate with marshmallows as in the story. After the video is finished, students are given a golden bell on a cord that they wear around their necks. Students then parade back through the classrooms chanting, "The spirit of Christmas...hear it ring." This is an activity that is truly memorable for the students.
