MassCue+Leadership+Symposium+2011

Keynote: David Rose: National Ed Tec Plan 2010 [][|National] Focus: this plan and UDL: focusing on personalized learning. National Instructional Materials Accessibility Standards standard for digital source files used to produce instructional materials in a variety of formats: (e.g. ebook, online book, print book,etc.) and XML **based standard:**basically directed at kids with **print disability. (New term instead of LD)** XML digital version format mandated by 2006 law-to be made available to children with print disability. Print doesn't address all neuorscience needs of the brain

 * Keywords: CONTEXT**
 * Print Disability:**

All these in the **CORTEX** :
 * Recognition networks**
 * Strategic networks:**
 * Affective networks**

Neuroscience of learning in the brain: See face blindness: [] Idea of using **context** to identify an object: example; plate, then plate on a table with silverware. Idea of brain being **heterarchial**-not hieracical (Go to optical illusions on google to get examples) Idea that you are not really perceiving what you see as such: You are constructing understanding from previous knowlege: Example shown: Bouncing ball with shadow on graph You **construct** an idea of what you see from Sensory input **and** what you already know--so people differ on what they see. So : For teaching/learning:Build in options: Use spell check, Use sentence starters What you **think** is important in the picture you look at; **What recruits your interest?**
 * Recognition networks**: percieving information and transforming it to usuable knowledge
 * Strategic networks: Perception** :How you look at the picture depending on what question was asked; Example shown: old fashioned family pic
 * Affective networks**
 * A digital environment gives kids choice.**
 * How do we get kids to sustain interest**
 * UDL:** How to we **represent** things for understanding

Millis Schools: Grade 8 Pilot Why iPad vs. laptops: Device is alwaysy ready to go:no wasted time Batteries are great-last long- 10 hrs.-kids need to come in charged Maintenance problems: don't know yet-haven't used long enough (6 wks.) Each laptop $579.00 Apps $25 per iPad $3850: 5 carts and student locks- older carts, not Bretford Casper Management Software:$1350-allows imapging through the network School Choice Budget money-source of funding -Supt,had to approve Family: Once a month for parents- in auditorium-lecture and display:not giving them an iPad in their hands. Maintenance and support: -taken care of by school centralized and decentralized monitoring network log files, work group manager iPads at home-had CIPA compliant APP for internet filtering. This "moviseep?? CIPA is interfering with Safari Bought a $40 a padded case for ea ipad. But they got it down to $20 ea. Locked, rechargeable ipad carts in homerooms ipad id cards Casper network management Find my ipad (??) Apps; Staff PD and Community Training On school website weekly team meeting with staff for training and support parent info sessions policies and procedures feedback: survey after a few weeks Pilot goals:** Collect evidence of filling these with student work done on ipads and with surveys Do pre and post assessements:-asking about student attitudes Anecdotally: Teachers are seeing kids more engaged in school Weston Schools: Their google enterprise email is set up to only email other students and staff They do not have outside browser email access blocked (can get to email, aol,verizon,etc. email) ALSO: CHALLENGE: You have to have a really planned task/lesson. Science teacher -Weston-grade 7 Jennifer Mercury: Has 3 sections without the iPad carts, 2 classes do. Improvement over laptop carts: No lost time loggiing on, vs..IPads are instantly on Citrix app on iPad which launches browsers to run (what?)Fast logon of citrix compared to same on laptops Application for middle school science not great on iPad yet. Setup email through google-Printing had to be resolved?? APPLE: Each ipad is **individual to that student**: so each student DOES NOT HAVE TO LOGON It is a h drive, but in these designated apple app folders Therefore: Have to figure out storage Question: putting iPads into a cart that "syncs" the iPads ???-so expensive Bretford carts better for this. Millis uses googledocs and moodle so they don't need to print
 * Session 1:**
 * IPads : First 6 weeks**
 * Costs:**
 * Training**:
 * Network security:**
 * Casper management software-**logs all iPads on network and apps on them, including desktop locking
 * Ipad security:**
 * eclicker app -turns ipad into cps!!**
 * [|www.millips.org]
 * TEACHERS NEED TO WALK AROUND A LOT TO SEE WHAT KIDS ARE DOING**- If a student were staring out a window in a regular classroom-you would see that. Off task distractions online can only be seen by the teacher if you walk around and check.
 * Teacher speaks**:
 * iPad only stores docs in its app: Pages, Keyno,etc.

Will have links posted on MassCue Synmposium page after conference Groups who worked on June 2010 institute on electronic reading with 100 teachers**:** Sponsored by Microsoft Demo: ExtraNormal intro
 * Session 2:**
 * Preparing Students for the 21st Century with New Literacies**
 * Friday Institute from University of North Carolina**
 * New literacy Institute in Cambridge ,Ma.**

How to read: skills, strategies: __**Framework for New Literacies**__ Changing all the time This institute has a wiki: Group used Illuminate to broadcast follow up sessions TPACK model-there is North Carolina State U site Used VOKI to type in a script and have character speak the dialog
 * Implementation:**
 * Tagzedo: puts words into a shape- I spent too much time trying to use this!**

Question/Survey:: []** Discussion of what are most important skills tech **and** face-to-face that students need to know/learn/practice This was mostly discussion           help on how to format text || ||   ||
 * Session 3: Liz Davis-Balancing innovation and traditiion**
