This document provides an overview of a workshop about modeling digital age technology and learning. It includes an introduction to the facilitator and standard being addressed. The facilitator demonstrates several Web 2.0 tools that can be used to address the standard, including Corkboard.me for anonymous participant responses and a wiki for sharing resources. Google Apps and wikis are presented as tools for collaboration, communication, and modeling technology use in the classroom. Participants provide examples of how they might use various apps and tools in their teaching.

Response System Set-up
Ideally this workshop would be largely hands-on
but due to the logistics of the day, computers are
not available for every staff member to use to
participate.
So.....we will model a way to have you (your
students) post your ideas/thoughts about our
topics anonymously using the free web2 tool
Corkboard.Me and your cell phone or laptop.

12. What teachers can do with a wiki
• Student Assignments
o
Teachers post homework, group work, and classroom goals,
and update them throughout the year in real time.
• Curriculum Planning
o
Classroom schedules and lesson plans can be tweaked from
any computer or mobile device — and reused and re-purposed
from year to year.
• Professional Development
o
Education professionals come together to plan events and
share best practices in a flexible, accessible, easy-to-update
online resource.
13. What students can do with a wiki
• Student Portfolios
o
Each student creates and maintains a unique online space to
showcase his/her best work, and teachers assess performance
as it progresses
• Project-Based Learning
o
Student groups collaborate on projects that address real-world
questions, and share their findings with a real-world audience.
• Distance Learning
o Students and teachers share a flexible educational space
that’s accessible anytime from anywhere in the world.

Communicate, Model
Google Apps
• Free, easy-to-use online (web-based) apps that enable
you and your students to create, store and share instantly
and securely, and collaborate online in real time

documents, spreadsheets and presentations
• No software to download- all work is stored online and can
be accessed from any computer

• Use Google docs (word processing files) to share
and comment on work
o Student can create documents and share them
with the teacher - teacher can comment on it directly
and student sees feedback instantaneously
o Peer Editing: students create a document and
share with their peers - peers provide feedback
o Collaboration: students create a document and
work on it together each adding their own ideas
23. Other Google Apps
• Spreadsheets
• Presentations
• Sites - teachers can use this tool to create
their own web page
• Forms
o Contribute to this form!

24. Activity 3: Using Google Apps
Go to http://corkboard.me/iWqsJPdhiB
Type in a way you might use a Google App in
your classroom - grade, subject and app
example:
"7th grade English, Presentations - have students
post use Presentation app for oral book reports"
