This Professional Development Page is an built on two books "Classroom Instruction that Works:Research-Based Strategies for Increasing Student Achievement" and Using Technology with Classroom Instruction that Works.

I have attached the PowerPoint Presentation that is used in the workshop. It was built using two other PPTs found on other sites.

My delicious site which has links to the delicious sites of the authors of "Using Technology with Classroom Instruction that Works" @http://delicious.com/jmccarthy

Below is the outline of the workshop with the links


 * Using Technology with Classroom Instruction that works**

1. Goals= not too specific 2. ELL's - specific content and language objectives
 * I.** **What will students learn?**
 * A.** **Setting objectives**


 * 1. word processing (word, open office, tables)**
 * 2.** @http://www.mywebspiration.com/launch.php
 * 3.** http://surveymonkey.com (creating surveys for analyzing data)
 * 4.** @http://rubistar.4teachers.org/index.php (creating rubrics, performance objectives)
 * 5.** @http://room613talk05.edublogs.org/2006/01/10/room-613-student-blogs/ (creating class blogs)

1. Preparing a rubric will help in grading as well as giving feedback 2. Classroom blog - effective in getting and giving feedback 3. Inserting comments directly into student's work is a great way to give instant feedback.

 * A.** **Cues, questions and advance organizers**

> **2. spreadsheet software** > **3.** http://ww.teachertube.org http://www.schooltube.com > **4.** > **B.** **Nonlinguistic representation** > > > **1. Word processing- picture for vocabulary. Why did you choose that picture? Link word to picture. Go to google images for more choices.** > **2. Spreadsheet software- make graphs or have children make graphs (example. kidspiration)** > **4. Data collection tools- digital probes video camera. (example have students take a picture of fraction and make a video of it).** > **5. Web Resources** @http://www.dvolver.com/live/movies-293119 - Animation site. Sample he created. > **6. Communication software** > **C.** **Summarizing and note taking. Teach the students how to do take notes. Verbatim is not effective per se. Show the students how to delete non relevant information. Kidspiration and wespiration have a lot of fun ways to teach them notetaking. Using colors or highlighters is also helpful for students to learn important words or concepts to keep in the summary.** > > > **1.** > **2.** > **3.** > **4.** @http://notestar.4teachers.org/teacher/home.jsp > **5.** > **D.** **Cooperative Learning** > > > **1.small groups heterogenous** > **2.** @http://delicious.com/jmccarthy [] > > **3.** > **E.** **Reinforcing effort** > **1.attribute success to one of four causes: ability, effort, other people, luck** > **2. Use a word processor to make a table, spreadsheet, rubric for effort, measure effort. Use technology to see the effort!** > **IV.** **Which strategies will help students practice, review, and apply learning?** > **A.** **Identifying similarities and differences** > **@http://gets.gc.k12.va.us/VSTE/2008/1simdiff.htm** > **@http://www.readwritethink.org/materials/venn/** > • **http://www.sadlier-oxford.com/phonics/analogies/analogiesx.htm** > • **http://www.funtrivia.com/flashquiz/index.cfm?qid=159519** > > **1.Frayer Model: websites which will give more info, build it, sample lessons: create chart and have students fill out** > **2.Classifying: a column format can be created in Word or Excel, or on Kidspiration/Inspiration software** > **3.** > **4.** > **B.** **Homework and Practice** > > > **1.Less homework for younger students, OGSD has a 10 minute per grade level expectation** > **2.The purpose of homework should be identified and articulated. Be able to articulate to students and parents why this homework should be done** > **3.Comment on the homework, don't need to grade fully, but develop rubric to give feedback.** > **4.Homework should be __practice__ and require minimal help from parents.** > **5.** > **C.** **Generating and testing hypotheses** > > > **1.** > **2.** > **3.** @http://web.wm.edu/hsi/cases/frankfort/frankfort_student.html @http://fantasticcontraption.com/
