Some Definitions:
Online Information (Content Resources)
Homework & Online Content
Assessments Survey Monkey – Google Forms – ODE Tests
Communications & Collaboration
email - Google Docs – Wikis – Facebook (?)
Some Definitions:
1:1 Online
•Internet Device for every child
•Internet at school and home
•Teacher PD in online resources & Blended Learning strategies
Some Definitions:
Flipped
•Most course content provided online Little or no content via f-f lecture Face-to-face time on projects/ team work /help
Emerging research indicates:
- Is NOT right for many students
- Long, recorded lectures are NOT effective
- Does help prepare students for College Work
Some Definitions:
Blended
Resources • Assessment •Communication
Some learning Face-to-face &
Some learning – starting with Homework -
Online
Who is online NOW?
60-80% % of elementary students
80-99% of high school students
70-90 % of parents
How will my students GET online?
Virtually ALL research is showing
Blended Learning
• Really WORKS
• Prepares for online testingBegin with
Homework assignments online
Content to support homework
1:1 – What Works, What Doesn’t ?
How to Start:
Implement SEQUENTIALLY
HOMEWORK Just the Assignment to begin with
(Submitting work online comes later)
How to I begin?
HOMEWORK- Assignments- A ‘hint’ motivitates students
Reading reminders (specific page/paragraph) - Content to help complete the assignments
• Short videos (INFOhio Khan; teacher’s 2 minute review
• Examples of B+/A level work• Content-specific web sites
As teachers and students learn,
HOMEWORK- Assignments
- A ‘hint’ motivitates students - Content to help complete the assignments
Initial goal: just 10-15 minutes daily online
That’s over an extra hour weekly Time-On-Task and THAT results in improved student performance !
As teachers and students gain

WHICH Device? Plus & Minus
Desktops powerful not mobile (duh)
Laptops full featured cost and weight
Netbooks small/light/cheap not
fun/engaging
Tablets engaging/interactive lack writing
tools
Cell phone availability lack writing
tools
How will my students GET online?
Some Definitions:
Learning Management System (LMS)
- Edmodo
- Blackboard
- Progress Book
- Schoology used with
- Google Apps for Education
Also Wiki’s, Blogs, Facebook, GoogleSites and others
Select ONE Learning Management System
LMS Features should include:• Every class listed on ONE page
•Ability for teachers to ‘link’ to additional resoruces
School device? BYO? Either needs:
- Keyboard which is critical for writing
- Use of ‘mouse’ can speed writing process
- WiFi at home makes significant difference
- Larger screens reduce fatigue (4” /foot as guideline)
Devices that work for PARCC are increasing – standard laptops are a ‘safe’ choice, but many other devices WILL work. Check carefully!
How will my students GET online?
Advantages when students
BYO - Students maintain device
- Students (parents) insure device
- Students update device
- Device, software, filing are familiar
How will my students GET online?
Advantages of school owned
Device:Less difficult than BYO when just
beginning
- Identical software
- Identical Hardware
- Much easier tech support
- Professional Development required
- Quicker classroom implementation
How will my students GET online?
- BEFORE Students bring their own devices,
consider:
• If it’s prohibited face-to-face, its prohibited
online
• BYO devices must be FULLY insured
• Teachers must display ‘currently allowed’
uses
• No-use areas (locker rooms, office)
identified
A Quick Note on Policy
1. Practice writing (standard keyboard &
mouse)
2. Use spell-checking
3. Do NOT use spelling prediction
4. “ Limited time” writing assignments
5. “Simulated research” assignments
6. Ensure Keyboarding skills
12 Tips for PARCC & Online
Assessments
7. Build typing speed
8. Answer ALL questions
9. Fill-in-the-blank (especially math)
10. Multiple Choice which require READING
11. Frequent ‘Opinion’ / ‘Argument’
assignments
12. Encourage, support and focus on end
goals
12 Tips for PARCC & Online
Assessments
- 800+ word compositions at high school level
- Experience improves student performance
- Use the same technology as during testing
Writing
− Keyboard vs. ‘touch screen typing’− ‘All Thumbs’ or touch typing
− Mouse speeds revision process
