- purpose of presentation - share year 1 of initiative - implementing 1 to 1 BYOD in school - the thinking behind why we are doing this - implementation process - invite some feedback, questions etc. Goal: to have all of our grade 4-9 classes having access to their own device in every class when it is the best tool for learning - started only with grade 4 and 9 - ready to make jump to all of our grades
- What is 1 to 1?
- - Share briefly the process of how we started - this is the model we used to implement the 1:1 initiative and are continuing to use as we move forward
- link to implementation plan on Google Doc - this doc has links to a bunch of information and research that we used to build our plan
- Charlene: started with surveys - Planning & Implementation Team - created small group of parents, admin, teachers, and students - asked people who were for and against the idea - wanted all perspectives - links on Google Doc
- more information and guiding questions on Google doc
- presentation and information link on Google doc
- - case study prepared by Charlene Daub and Kelly Arnold https://docs.google.com/a/psdblogs.ca/document/d/1BiaCfOMVj4Ib6y51Slhv67iXM1kA7-7I6IHHc1MM4tc/edit# https://docs.google.com/a/psdblogs.ca/document/d/1vgdOhPLesdNq1g_XfoUsHWX96mi-HrNtW5Kf8vYcuB8/edit#heading=h.b354tafygtt0
- - surveyed our students who are participating in 1:1 learning community - will be sharing their voice throughout the presentation
- Why 1 to 1? - want to give the thinking behind it first before I get into the details of the implementation process
- - Jobs exist today that didn ’ t exist a couple years ago - we are preparing our children/students for jobs that don ’ t exist yet and to solve problems that we don ’ t know are problems yet
- - our job as teachers and educators is to open every door of opportunity for the students future - build the skills they need to succeed - our world is 1:1 - If our schools aren ’ t - our schools are in danger of becoming irrelevant
- I see this as a problem - not only will we not do our students justice in preparing them for their future - they themselves will begin to see school as irrelevant
- our schools should reflect our world that we live in - if not we are closing doors of opportunity for our students in their future instead of preparing them for it
- - This initiative is not about putting technology in the students hands for the sake of technology - we don ’ t need the technology acting like an expensive notebook - it is about building skills that they need
- - we can accomplish this and prepare our students for the future better in a 1 to 1 learning community - increased access makes the technology invisible - this initiative is about access to technology for when it is the best tool for the learning activity - when go to lab once or twice a week - more about technology and less about skills - 1 to 1 is more about the skills and less about the technology
- - we started with a “ learning first ” approach - what exactly do we want our students to be able to do?
- - we wanted out students using Google Apps - we wanted them building their own learning portfolios - we want our students ’ portfolio to begin in kindergarten - continue to develop it all the way through grade 12 - when they leave - export it and they have a digital portfolio chronicling their learning journey
- example student template of portfolio - multiple mediums - video, audio (sound cloud) etc.
- - demonstrates growth and learning over time - ie. don ’ t notice losing weight until you see before and after picture - student confidence - believe that they can learn because they see growth - teachers can readily see - helps with transition year to year - parents can more readily access what is happening in the classroom
- Access to 1:1 technology in class is important to build the literacy skills our students need in today ’ s world
- Literacy is no longer just reading and writing - it is changing - Link on Google Doc - http://www.ncte.org/positions/statements/21stcentdefinition
- Quick Link or link on Google Doc to read full article
- we want students participating in learning communities that extend beyond 4 walls of classroom
- Learning communities should extend beyond the 4 walls of the classroom - Can include anyone. Teachers, students, parents - people all over the world
- - huge part of learning community is parents - my daughter ’ s first day of kindergarten - interesting because I am gaining perspective as father with child in school - not just educator - conversation - what did you learn in school today? - I forget, nothing, played with friends, etc. - My first parent teacher interview as a parent - teacher showed me this video
- Classroom Blogs - many started this year - all about expanding classroom learning community - Mrs. Matsuba - http://www.psdblogs.ca/smatsuba/2012/11/16/another-5-little-pumpkins/
- - expanding to student portfolios as well - build a more personal learning community - increase insight and interaction with parents - Student blog/portfolio gives authentic audience - if students doing it just for teacher - want to do it “ good enough ” - doing it for real audience - want it to be good - Kathryn ’ s blog grade 9 MLS - Language Arts Category - http://www.psdblogs.ca/kathrynh3685/category/language-arts/
- - not limited to just text - video, audio, pictures etc. - Audio recordings - reading, French etc. - Sound Cloud - http://bit.ly/YPEEl2
- - tons of tools online to engage students in learning - interactive poster - parents get transparent look into work - transition from year to year - see growth - Nakia ’ s Blog - grade 9 MLS - http://www.psdblogs.ca/nakiah3594/
- Student blog - Tyler ’ s grade 8 MLS - http://www.psdblogs.ca/tylerc3959/2012/12/04/my-lego-stop-motion/ - opportunity to use different mediums, explore other talents, passions, hobbies, ideas
- google apps - tracking sheet - privacy control - students fill it out themselves - reflection on learning - access anytime, anywhere for parents - link to blog portfolio
- - in our busy world with our busy schedules - technology used properly, can create powerful learning communities - it fosters transparent learning and can empower active participation in a way that we haven ’ t experienced in the past
- - As educators and parents we need to be constantly improving and working towards this common goal - Technology has a huge role to play in this partnership between parents, school and students
- - something we need to continue to communicate and work together to improve - parent workshops - learning opportunities for parents to greater understand what we are doing at the school
- We want our students to collaborate
- The notion of mind your own business learning is irrelevant - “ eyes on your own paper, no talking, - that is not how business, jobs work - it is not how innovation happens
- putting technology in the kids hands doesn ’ t change this - if all they do is use computer as a word processor - there is no difference
- - Should use technology to transform teaching and learning practice - collaboration, communication, problem solving - move from MYOB Learning to Learning Communities
- - learning communities are built on the transparent sharing of learning and ideas
- - Caine's Arcade - YouTube http://bit.ly/QbjjmP - Critical thinking, creativity, Innovation is obvious - story was shared via Social Media - inspired and connected people from around the world to the idea - brought people together as a learning community
- [twitter] Caine's Arcade - YouTube http://bit.ly/QbjjmP [/twitter] - shared all over the world - inspired other classes, teachers & students - MLS participated in this project
- - Mrs. Dickson shared this on her blog - kid ’ s thoughts about the projects - could even extend to kids blogging about their projects - parents and others commenting - extend the learning and engage learning community further
- grade 5 student in our school - write a story and share with others - give feedback, edit and revise together - learn from one another - authentic audience - not just the teacher reading it
- - There are good ideas, and then there are good ideas that make it easier to have other good ideas. - building a network, collaborating and sharing is essential for innovation
- - innovation is all about creating - producing new ideas - We want our students creating not just consuming information - the internet is not a textbook
- - more and more people are not just consuming content on the web - they consume and then they produce - it is how innovation and creativity happens - inspired by something - collaborate with others - produce innovative ideas and content - YouTube stat - over 72 hours of video is uploaded to YouTube every minute
- - fuels innovation - building on one another ’ s ideas - powerful motivator - sharing ideas and work transparently - connecting our students in learning communities - authentic audience - ie. What do I have to do to get the mark I want? vs. when work is viewed by audience - students want to do their best
- - we surveyed the students who participated in this initiative to get their feedback
- Muir Lake Students talk about 1:1 experience 2012/2013
- - We are inviting everybody grade 4-9 to participate - Not mandatory
- $$$ - We know that 1:1 learning communities is best for learning - don ’ t want money to be a limitation if we as parents and teachers believe this is best for our kids - don ’ t need to go and buy a new one if you already have one that your child could use - supply list - school can ’ t afford to buy everybody laptops but we do already have some - if $ is only obstacle for your child to participate in this, we invite you to come and talk with myself or Karen
- - important to have common platform so teachers and students could utilize technology effectively - Laptop - most diverse and robust tool for creating - Google Chrome - home syncing features - free - works perfectly with division initiatives - regardless of device students operating from a common platform
- - Chromebook - cost effective - domain management - not mandatory - School orders it and parent reimburse at cost
- - Chromebook for Education - we handle support with direct access to Google - domain management
