www.digedu.com How do we bridge the gap between procuring devices and seeing truly meaningful use by students and teachers? We've reached a point in education where not just teaching models but also teaching tools are in flux - both the rules of the game and the equipment are changing with each day. This is a big shift for schools, teachers, and students, and in many cases, what's missing is the training and support necessary to meaningfully use technology in the classroom. Come away from this presentation with a new understanding of meaningful technology use and of what steps you can take to ensure students are getting the most out of your digital education program. www.digedu.com

- 4. Rotational Models Students rotate between modalities, including small groups, projects, one-on-one instruction, interactive lessons on a device, etc. Station Rotation Students rotate on a fixed schedule among classroom-based learning modalities. Individual Rotation Students rotate on individually customized schedules among learning modalities. Flipped Classroom Students rotate on a fixed schedule between teacher- guided practice during school and online delivery after school. Lab Rotation Students rotate on a fixed schedule among locations on the campus. #meaningfuluse
- 5. Other Models Flex Model Students move on individual schedules among learning modalities in which online learning is the backbone. Enriched Virtual Model Students divide time between on campus and online for each individual course. A La Carte (Hybrid) Model Students take one or more courses entirely online while also taking some entirely classroom-based courses.

- 22. What Does Great Blended Learning Look Like? "As a result of using technology in the classroom, student engagement has skyrocketed. They are more accountable, as using devices requires more responsibility, which a lot of adolescents are seeking. Students are no longer hiding from opportunities to learn and instead, they are embracing these experiences.” #meaningfuluse
- 23. What Does Great Blended Learning Look Like? “I have a classroom of 50 middle schoolers. It's so many students in one room that sometimes not all of them get desks - they have to share tables or just work sitting in chairs. Obviously, things can get loud and crazy with that many kids, but when I get out the tablets, they behave. The technology engages them and keeps their attention.” #meaningfuluse
- 24. What Does Great Blended Learning Look Like? “Suddenly, my introverted students found their voices; they feel empowered to share their opinions. Online discussions have allowed students to write more expressively and provide valuable peer-to-peer feedback. There appears to be more of a purpose and level of dedication behind their writing, because they are writing to their peers.” #meaningfuluse
- 25. What is Meaningful Use? Meaningful use of technology refers to students„ consistent use of technology in the classroom to learn content and demonstrate understanding of new knowledge and skills. Meaningful use of technology should be considered to be a seamless process in which the teacher is not teaching the technology, but rather the students are using the technology to acquire and make use of new knowledge. Students should have access to technology to support the acquisition of skills necessary for life in the 21st century. #meaningfuluse
- 26. Instructional Models Look at your technology program from a holistic perspective - think about how the instructional model relates to the curriculum, the tools, and the learning goals. Budgeting Consider all possible cost categories for your technology program. Some may be obvious, like devices, but some may not be – like systems integration or professional development. Do your research on funding sources and consider the full spectrum of possibilities. Elements of Blended Learning Success Academic Goals & Curriculum Do more than what you could with just a pencil and paper. Use the SAMR model to analyze your technology program, and aim for Redefinition. Start with the end in mind to ensure technology furthers school and district goals and allows teachers to substantially improve instruction. Tools, Content, & Platforms Discover the full spectrum of technology tools available to schools. Set learning goals first, then choose the right combination of tools that will enable student achievement. Training Based on the teacher population at your school, consider the level of initial training educators need. Then, continue to build on their knowledge via coaching and collaboration. Infrastructure Use your learning goals to guide decisions about device selection. Keep user ages and intended uses in mind. Make proper bandwidth a priority, keeping in mind that it can be a significant barrier to use in the classroom. Policies Students should have guidelines around BYOD programs, device breakage, and staying on task, while teachers should have a clear understanding of expected minimum use of technology in the classroom. Support Ensure teachers have a safety blanket of support around them at all times – both technological and instructional support. This strengthens confidence in the technology program and allows for a seamless learning experience for students. #meaningfuluse Planning Plan thoroughly to present technology as a means to accomplish district goals for student performance targets. Implementation Determine the way in which the program will be rolled out, how the project will be managed, and where roles and responsibilities lie. Staffing Transitioning to digital learning can mean big changes are needed in terms of staffing and roles. There are unlimited possibilities when planning for this; see what has worked for other schools and use their examples to determine what works best for you. Culture Having a strong culture in place is vital to the success of a technology program roll out; make this a priority.

- Station rotation: same room, fixed schedule, rotation btwn modalities, topics, activities, tech (non 1:1 classrooms, multi-disciplinary project, large class sizes)Lab rotation: “ different locations (computer labs, maker spaces)Flipped classroom: primary delivery of content = online, which differentiates flipped from students who are merely doing practice problems at home online; benefits = students control time/place/path/pace and during class, can access help from teachers doing practice or projects.Individual rotation: whether in one classroom, moving about the campus, or primarily receiving content online, students rotate on individualized schedules tailored to their learning styles and needs
- Flex: primarily online learning (which might call for offline activity) with varying degrees of face-to-face support on an adaptive/as needed basis in a variety of forms, like small group instruction, group projects, or tutoring.A la carte: online and brick and mortar in a modular fashion (kids might take an online course in addition to a full school day)Enriched virtual: a whole-school experience combining both online and brick and mortar with an emphasis on online.

- Social Learning: Facebook for learning -- schoology, edmodoLMS: organizational tools; some include learner profiles and learning objects – Desire2Learn, BlackboardOnline Learning Providers: virtual learning platforms and content; for instance, for the Enriched Virtual Model – Apex, K12SIS: student information – Power School, Infinite CampusContent Creators & Curators: NearPod, adding assessments to YouTube videos OER & eBooksAssessment Tools: Assistment, NaikuAdaptive Learning Tools: student-driven journey that reacts to inputs – DreamBox, iReady
- Point: holistic approach to technology adoption ensures investment impacts student achievement
- Example: to present tech as a means to accomplish key district goals for student performance targetsRallying stakeholders to generate supportSustainable budgets and policies
- Most important thing is to start with the curriculum and to have a strong pedagogical model to ensure…Tech can’t just be stuck inIt’s about changing the way things work Doing things in the classroom that you couldn’t do with paper and pen
- Again, coming at this from a holistic perspective, we need to think about how the instructionalmodel relates to the curriculum, the tools, and the learning goals.

Some schools are located in inaccessible areasRight bandwidth solution – fiber optic pipes to upgrade internal infrastructure; digedu; 3G
- Cost categories:Infrastructure: broadband access, power, classroom configurationsDevices: what is already in place that can be leveraged, what needs to be purchased, and how often replacedSystems integration: integrating new systems with what you have – paying for consultants for this?Digital content: OERs you are using vs. packaged digital curriculaHuman capital: more IT resources? Tech integration specialist?PD: are you paying someone to take care of training?Communications & Evaluation: resources required to communicate with stakeholders and evaluate and report progressFunding sources:Federal funds: e-rate, RTTT, RTT-D, Title I Part A, Title I Set-Asides, Title I School Improvement Grants, Title II Part A, IDEAState and Local Funds, facilities bonds, tech levyPhilanthropy: corporate and foundation grants, Next Generation Learning Challenges, local donorsLeasing: leasing offers the opportunity to manage an asset category like instructional tech more rationally; it levels out the annual expenditure of student and teacher devices; easier to plan for
- NOT professional development3 components:Initial training: depends on school how many you need to doOngoing training: learning about new tools, new features on existing tools, sharing and collaborating on the best ways to use themCoaches: making sure that there is someone responsible for the program, not just a principal who is stringing together random professional development from different companies. This isn’t the same idea as having a coach – knows what is being used, knows what the problems are – and can be thoughtful about on going training that is being provided
- Kipp: 3-tiered staffing model with Lead Teachers, Intervention Specialists, and Instructional Assistants that work together to deliver different types of instruction to small groups of students in a variety of settingsSummit: skill-based teacher development system focused on what teachers need to know and be able to do to accelerate student acheivement. Demonstrated expertise across 7 dimensions (assessment, content, curriculum, instruction, knowing learners and learning, leadership, and mentoring puts them in one of 4 groups: basic, proficient, highly proficient, and expert.Cornerstone: Pods of 75 students work in an open space with teacher teams consisting of Relevance Managers (direct instruction and support students in design and evaluation of real world projects), Rigor Managers (oversee online coursework, set standards for mastery), and Success Coaches (help students make transition to college and career)

- Values: 360 degree evaluations, celebrations, core value commitments, trustEquity: engage all students, not just honor students; a child’s zip code doesn’t determine his or her destinyInnovation: “failing forward, faster”, build measure and learn in cyclesCare: start with love and care for the students, and let things stem from thereExecution: high level of execution competence to meet the needs of every student at every minute of every daySupport: mentors for new employees, tech facilitators help new teachers learn how the school uses techCollaboration: co-teaching experiences, times to work together and share experiences with each other
- Engagement and students active learningMain point is that blended learning comes in all shapes and sizesBlended learning, cross out blended. Point is that by qualifying it as blended we are creating options – as if one is learning, one is blended learning, one is paper learning. That’s not how we should see the world. We should be integrating tech in the classroom in a natural seamless invisible way.
