Note

The Technology Enriched Instruction (TEI) workshop is intended to help participants increase their understanding of how to use technology in their classrooms. It provides participants with tools and resources they can use to help their colleagues gain the same insights and understandings. This Instructor’s Guide contains speaker and teaching notes that we hope will be useful to instructors as you conduct this workshop.

You can use the accompanying Technology Enriched Instruction Faculty Development Participant Workbook and this guide as a self-instructional package that you may freely distribute to your students and colleagues. Each workshop is refined for specific audiences, so the workbook and guide may contain more information, more technology, and more exercises than we can cover in the workshop.

Overview

The TEI workshop is designed to help participants develop competencies that will enable them to plan for and select, use, and evaluate technology tools and resources in a pedagogically appropriate manner. This guide is designed to enable you to assist participants in reaching these objectives.

You’ll notice that this workshop differs from many other faculty professional development workshops on technology. Other workshops often tend to simply provide training on the technology tools, leaving it up to the participants to make the connection to pedagogy and content knowledge. This workshop is based on the TPACK Framework, which provides an integrated approach to combining technical, pedagogical, and content knowledge. While the workshop does showcase Microsoft technology, the focus is not on the technology. Rather, through participatory inquiry-based learning, participants can actively experience a range of technology tools and resources and connect these tools to research- based approaches to their use in teaching.

Participants who complete this workshop will obtain status as “Microsoft Faculty Fellows” and will receive a certificate from Microsoft and the Society for Information Technology and Teacher Education (SITE), as shown here.

They will also receive a digital badge on the Microsoft Educator Network and an image that they can include in their email signature.

Microsoft TEI Faculty Development Workshop – Instructor’s Guide

Workshop Objectives This workshop is designed to give participants:

 A broader awareness and understanding of the technologies and digital resources that can positively impact teaching and learning.  Familiarity and experience with TPACK and 21st Century Learning Design.  Hands-on practice with tools to integrate appropriate pedagogy and technology in their instruction.  Insights into how their course activities and assignments might change based on what they’ve learned in the workshop.  An opportunity for inquiry into how to enhance instruction using technology in teaching and learning.  Membership in the Microsoft Educator Network, which allows them to collaborate within a vibrant community of like-minded educators.

Workshop Topics The workshop will cover these key topics:

 The changing nature of education, students, and the modern workplace  The TPACK Framework  21st Century Learning Design  Evaluation tools for assessing the impact of TPACK and 21st Century Learning Design

The technology used includes Office 365, OneDrive, various web applications, Skype, Yammer, OneNote, Padlet, and technology embedded in other tools (such as translation, video-editing, and broadcast applications).

Workshop Format This is not a traditional workshop where participants simply view presentations and demonstrations. Participants will be actively involved in the presentations, demonstrations, hands-on activities, and discussions throughout the day as they experience participatory and inquiry-based learning.

Participants will be divided into groups for the workshop, and they’ll work together on the challenge described below. In order to complete the challenge, the groups will need to collaborate within and across teams in the workshop using technology tools.

The Challenge During the workshop, participants will be asked to consider specific things that they can do to enhance their teaching using technology. Have participants identify, individually and in small groups, class activities or assignments from their courses that they might change based on what

8 they’re learning in the workshop. Participants will apply the two theoretical frameworks featured

Activity 1 - Introduction

Introduce the workshop facilitators and provide a quick (10 minute) overview of the day (review the purpose, agenda, and the workshop challenge). Explain to participants they’ll be challenged to investigate one aspect of their teaching that they want to improve with technology. Stress that this challenge will be used as a vehicle to help them consider ways to assess TPACK, 21st Century Learning Design (21CLD), and the various technologies throughout the workshop.

Tools OneDrive, Office 365, Excel Survey Tool

Resources  OneDrive

 Office 365

 Creating Excel surveys with Office 365

Activities OneDrive / Office 365 – Begin the activity by having participants create and/or access their OneDrive or Office 365 accounts. Access will depend on the institution hosting the workshop. If participants don’t have access to Office 365, have them create OneDrive accounts (https://signup.live.com). Ideally, this will be done as part of the pre-work, but it’s important to make sure everyone has an account and that they can access those accounts in the workshop.

Excel Survey – Set the stage for participatory learning and active involvement by using a classroom Excel survey tool. Design a brief Excel survey to elicit some useful information from the participants (for example, primary teaching responsibility, comfort and experience with selected tools, and so on). Ideally, this survey should illustrate different types of questions (multiple choice, true and false, open response). Every time a new technology tool is introduced, do a short demo on it or inform the participants where they can access the short learning videos like the ones listed under Additional Resources.

With the entire workshop group, conduct a web survey that sets the stage for a participatory workshop.

Show participants the Workshop OneDrive folder (as shown here). Demonstrate how to use the Excel Web survey tool in real time.

Page

Microsoft TEI Faculty Development Workshop – Instructor’s Guide

Next, have participants access the survey (sample here and below), answering questions customized for each workshop.

These are some sample questions:

 Name  Primary teaching responsibility  How frequently do you currently use technology in your teaching? (For example, do you use it in each session, several times a semester, a few times a semester)?  How experienced are you with the following tools (1 = a little experience to 5 = very experienced)? (Office applications, Skype, Yammer, OneNote, Office Web Apps)  What is one thing in your teaching that you’d like to improve through technology?

Give participants a few minutes to complete the survey. The results will appear in real time, and updated as more answers are logged. Then use the Excel Quick Analysis tool to visually illustrate the resulting data.

Page

Microsoft TEI Faculty Development Workshop – Instructor’s Guide

Inquiry Model – During the workshop, you’ll use a custom inquiry model (shown at right) to support participants as they examine their instructional practices and think about how to use technology to enhance their teaching. Introduce this inquiry Pose an Instructional Problem model and have participants return to the Excel survey question they answered about improving their instructional practice using technology. Return to this inquiry model throughout the workshop to Analyze Your Practice support participants as they investigate their instructional practice and seek out new approaches for using technology to enhance their teaching. Consider Tools & Approaches for Enhancing Your Practice Debrief To conclude Activity 1, review the basic uses of

OneDrive/Office 365 and Excel and ask participants Create New Approaches to respond to the following questions:

 What questions do you have about

OneDrive and the Microsoft Excel survey Share Your New Ideas & Revise tool?  How might you use the Excel survey tool in your teaching?  What benefits, if any, do you see to doing an online survey with smartphones or computers rather than just asking students to voice their opinions?

Additional Resources  Background on Excel web survey  Overview of how to use the Excel web survey tool on OneDrive  Overview of how to use the Excel Quick Analysis tool

Microsoft TEI Faculty Development Workshop – Instructor’s Guide

Activity 2 - Tools for Collaboration

This session introduces three tools (Padlet, Yammer, and OneNote) for collaboration and information organization. These tools will be used throughout the day. Padlet is an online collaborative whiteboard. Yammer is an enterprise-level social networking tool. OneNote is a tool for organizing and sharing information.

Tools Padlet, Yammer, and OneNote

Resources  Creating Your First OneNote Notebook  Case Study: Yammer at the Pepperdine School of Business  The Value of Yammer: ROI Is Only the Beginning

Activities Padlet – Introduce participants to Padlet as a way to share ideas online in a whiteboard format. Padlet is an easy to use, no registration required, tool for sharing information and ideas. You’ll create your own Padlet walls for the workshop, including links for participant access. To help participants learn how to use Padlet, have them create a Padlet note to post on their virtual wall that includes their name, university affiliation.

It’s very easy to create Padlet pages (or as the app calls them, “walls”). Have participants create a new personal Inquiry Padlet wall and pose an instructional problem on Padlet they would like to think about during the workshop. This is an extension of the Inquiry model introduced in Activity 1.

Yammer – The second activity focuses on Yammer. Provide participants an overview Yammer as a tool for social networking and collaboration. Demonstrate how to post updates, links, and polls. You might ask participants to respond to a poll posted by the workshop facilitator (for example, about tools they already use in their teaching). Participants should use Yammer to post comments, resources, and ideas throughout the workshop.

OneNote – The third activity focuses on OneNote. Give participants an overview of OneNote, focusing on the basic functions of the program and how to use it in education (see Additional Resources). Demonstrate how to create OneNote notebooks for sharing and how to save notebooks in OneDrive. Have participants create a OneNote notebook for use during the

workshop. A sample OneNote notebook is available here.

Microsoft TEI Faculty Development Workshop – Instructor’s Guide

Debrief After participants have experienced all three tools (Padlet, OneNote, and Yammer), use the questions below to debrief with them about the collaborative nature of these tools. You can use one of the tools to facilitate the debriefing, or you can simply discuss with the whole group.

 How might these collaborative tools be used as a backchannel to engage students in class while other activities are occurring (for example, during a lecture or presentation)?  How might you use collaboration tools in facilitate inquiry in your classes?

Activity 3 - Changing Conditions of Teaching and Learning

We keep hearing that students today are different. While it’s certainly true that the conditions of teaching and learning have changed, are students really that different in the classroom? Do they learn differently? Would they learn better if technology tools were used? This session is designed to explore those questions using some journal articles, small group discussion, and collaboration between teams.

Tools OneNote, Padlet, and Yammer

Resources  The Always Connected Generation  What Is Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge?

Activities Have participants break into small groups. They will be working in these groups on collaborative activities throughout the rest of the day. (Note: If some of the participants are instructional designers or non-teaching faculty, it may be helpful to have them join groups with teaching faculty for the small group activities.) Have participants spend 10 minutes in the groups discussing the readings and adding notes to OneNote notebooks.

The following questions may help participants organize their thinking as a group:

 How have the conditions of teaching and learning resulted in different expectations and needs for students today?  How can technology be used to address today’s students effectively?  How do the characteristics of today’s students contribute to the instructional problem identified earlier?

Ask participants to post a summary of what they’ve learned on Yammer. Return to participants’ ideas about their instructional problems and, as part of the ongoing inquiry, prompt them to analyze their current practice given what they’ve read. Have participants post to their Inquiry Padlet a summary of their analysis.

Page

Microsoft TEI Faculty Development Workshop – Instructor’s Guide

Debrief Pair participants and have them respond to the questions below. Have participants post their partner’s ideas to the partner’s Yammer page.

 How have the conditions of teaching and learning changed in the last two decades?  How are students today different from students you’ve taught in the past?  How might technology tools be beneficial in your own classroom setting?

Activity 4 - New Literacies and Technologies Needed

We hear a great deal about 21st century skills and literacies. Focusing on these skills during instruction can be seen both as a way to prepare students for the 21st century and as a way to engage the “always connected” generation in learning. What are these 21st century skills and how do they connect with or diverge from traditional skills addressed in education (critical thinking, quantitative and qualitative skills, written and oral communication skills, and so on)?

Tools OneNote, Padlet, and Yammer

Resources  EdIT Library Activities Have participants brainstorm a list of 20th century literacies, skills, and tools essential in teaching and learning, and ask them to write their ideas in their OneNote notebook. Then have participants post a consensus list of these 20th century literacies and skills to a new Padlet wall.

The Association for the Advancement of Computing in Education/Society for Information Technology and Teacher Education (AACE/SITE) has graciously offered guest logins to workshop participants so that they can use this outstanding resource. Participants can access the EdIT library using this information:

Sign-in email: [email protected]

Password: TEI_SITE (Note that the password is case-sensitive.)

If necessary, participants can look at the resources available in the EdIT Library to explore ideas about 21st century literacies, skills, and tools. Ask them to summarize ideas in their OneNote notebook. Participants should then revisit their original post to the Padlet wall about 20th century skills and add 21st century literacies and skills.

Note: If time is limited or participants have limited English proficiency, you might have participants skim the What 21st Century Learning? A review and a synthesis article from Punya Mishra and Kristin Kereluik, or have them draw on their own experience with 21st century skills. The article is arranged in such a way that sections can easily be assigned to small groups.

As a part of their ongoing inquiry into their instructional practice and thinking about tools and skills that might enhance their instruction, have participants also consider tools for enhancing their practice. Participants should use their Inquiry Padlet wall to expand on their new ideas.

Page

Microsoft TEI Faculty Development Workshop – Instructor’s Guide

Debrief Scan the Padlet walls for literacies and skills that have been consistent across the 20th and 21st century and for those that have changed. Ask participants to consider these questions:

 Why do you think there’s so much emphasis today on 21st century literacies and skills? Was there similar emphasis on 20th century skills?  Which 21st century skills do you teach explicitly and which are implicitly taught through experiences? What is the role of technology in the explicit or implicit teaching of 21st century skills?

Page

Microsoft TEI Faculty Development Workshop – Instructor’s Guide

Activity 5 - 21st Century Learning Design

There are several resources available to introduce workshop participants to 21st Century Learning Design (21CLD), including these brief video clips to orient participants to this model. These rubrics and this PowerPoint presentation are also useful.

Tools Padlet, Yammer, and OneNote

Resources  Overview of 21CLD: Collaboration  21CLD Cards from the TEI TPACK Game Card Deck

Activities Pass out the 21CLD cards from the TEI TPACK Deck. Each participant in the group should receive one of the 21CLD cards. In small groups, have participants brainstorm activities and assignments that they currently do in their class that may be examples of the skills listed on the 21CLD cards. Participants can also describe these activities their OneNote notebook.

Have participants share their activities in their groups. Group members should determine whether the activities incorporate the 21CLD on their card. They then can offer suggestions for how the 21CLD could be incorporated if it was not. Focus on how the 21CLD skills are incorporated and how to increase the level of the 21CLD skill development, not on evaluating the activities.

In small groups, ask participants to brainstorm activities and assignments that they currently do or could redesign to address 21CLD, and then have them add these examples to their OneNote notebook. If time permits, have participants share highlights from these discussions with the large group. Using the rubrics for collaboration, score one or more of the brainstormed

assignments as a team.

Activity 6 - TPACK Framework and the TEI TPACK Game

Ask participants to consider the following question.

 What do you need to think about when integrating a new technology tool into your classroom?

The workshop uses activities based on the TPACK Framework. This theoretical framework illustrates the knowledge required to integrate content, pedagogy, and technology into teaching and learning. In this activity, participants will discover for themselves what TPACK is, why it’s beneficial to teaching and learning, and how it can be applied in the classroom.

When teachers consider incorporating a new technology tool or resource in their courses and assignments, what kinds of issues and logistics do they need to consider? Ask participants to add these ideas to their individual OneNote notebooks, and then share these ideas in their small groups. When all members have contributed to the conversation, post 2–3 individual notes describing the changes from each group to Padlet.

Sort group contributions in Padlet into three groups—those that primarily focus on content, those that focus primarily on pedagogical considerations, and those that focus primarily on technology considerations. If the posts tend to focus on one or two categories, point this out to the group.

TPACK represents the interconnected knowledge of all three domains (content, pedagogy, and technology) that teachers should draw on to integrate technology in their teaching. Rather than static knowledge, however, TPACK represents a form of pedagogical reasoning in which educators dynamically find the optimal “fit” between all three domains.

Play this TPACK video by Dr. Punya Mishra.

Ask the group this question:

 Why is this concept of “fit” so important?

Emphasize this key point: When technology is truly integrated with course content and pedagogical strategies, students learn in greater depth and internalize the material more effectively. In this way, the technology becomes a learning tool rather than the focus of the learning experience.

Participants may start from different places. They may be introduced to a tool during the workshop and see a good fit to something they’re doing their classes. Often, participants will start with a pedagogical challenge or opportunity, such as collaborative writing in small groups.

Or they may pose a particularly challenging course topic or concept as the starting point.

Wherever participants begin, the key thing to keep in mind is the synergy between these three 23

domains of knowledge. Page

Microsoft TEI Faculty Development Workshop – Instructor’s Guide

One of the key purposes of TEI is to help teachers develop their TPACK-based pedagogical reasoning skills. Equally important, though, is the value of collaborating with others to test assumptions and expand TPACK thinking.

Tools Yammer and OneNote

Resources  TPACK Cards  TPACK video by Dr. Punya Mishra

Activities TEI TPACK Card Game1

First, provide participants with three sets index cards or paper in three different colors—yellow, green, and white. You can also print sets of TEI TPACK Game Cards. The set of yellow cards includes approximately 10 commonly used pedagogical strategies or learning experiences that the participants will be familiar with (group discussion, write a paper, lecture/note taking, communicating with experts, case study, and so on). The set of green cards includes approximately 10 different technology tools that participants are likely to be familiar with and have access to (for example, Word, PowerPoint, Excel, blogs, wiki, Yammer, and so on). The third set of cards (white) is blank. Ask participants to identify 2–3 key topics or concepts from the course that they’re focusing on in the workshop and add these to the white cards.

When this process is complete, explain to participants that they’ll be practicing a TPACK-based pedagogical reasoning process in the form of “the TEI TPACK Game.”

Round 1: Participants randomly draw one card of each color (one of their content topics, one technology, and one pedagogical strategy/learning activity). One at a time, participants share with the group why they think the three cards fit together or where they see a disconnect. If a group finishes this round quickly, participants can go back through the combinations and find ways to “fix” a combination by substituting one or more cards. Ask participants to share some of

their card sets and why they were or weren’t a good fit. Ask what they learned in this process. 24

Page

1 The TPACK Game was originally developed by Judi Harris, Punya Mishra, and Matt Koehler for the National Technology Leadership Summit in 2007. Since then, others have developed their own variations of the game. For a brief history of the TPACK Game, please see this post from Punya Mishra’s blog.

Microsoft TEI Faculty Development Workshop – Instructor’s Guide

Round 2: Participants randomly select two of each type of card. Then, one at a time, each participant proposes something for their missing domain. Each then shares this combination with the group, highlighting why it’s a good fit. If a group finishes this round quickly, participants can go back through the combination and find ways to “fix” or improve the combination by substituting one or more cards. As in Round 1, have participants share some of their card sets and why they were or weren’t a good fit. Again, ask what they learned in this process.

Round 3: From all the cards available, each participant in turn selects the optimal combination of T (technology), P (pedagogy), and C (content) cards (may be multiples of each), and then shares with the group. Other members of the group hold the 21CLD cards. As the participant explains his or her optimal set of TPACK cards, others consider the level of 21CLD represented in the activity being described. Not all 21CLD dimensions will be present in each activity. Ask participants to share some of their card sets and why it was an ideal fit. Again, ask what they learned throughout this process.

Discussion: It’s through practicing with this reasoning process that each participant can develop his or her TPACK. Consider the importance of discussing planning with colleagues to get a different perspective and to gain from different types of expertise.

Remind participants to enter key resources and findings in OneNote and Yammer.

 Why is the concept of “fit” between technology, pedagogy and content knowledge so important?  How do technology tools support communication and collaboration between individuals, small groups, and the larger education community?

Now that the group has an understanding of finding the “fit” between course content, pedagogy, and technology, it’s important to consider the workshop’s end goal. In the next activity, participants will be challenged to identify an existing experience or assignment in a course that they teach and consider options for integrating technology to enhance or extend student learning.

Activity 7 -Putting It All Together

What is the relationship between TPACK and 21st Century Learning Design?

TPACK is a reasoning process that enables teachers to design learning experiences in way that can draw on the various dimensions of 21st Century Learning Design. By engaging in these experiences and activities, students will, in turn, develop their knowledge of the course content as well their 21st century literacy skills. In the following activity, participants will go back to the problem or challenge they identified earlier in the day and modify one or more course activities or assignments in a way that connects the use of technology with the content and pedagogy in a way that helps students develop 21st century skills.

Tools Word and OneNote

Resources  Participants’ Activity

Activities Participants have made notes throughout the workshop that should help them think more systematically about how they can address the instructional problem they identified at the beginning of the workshop. The goal in this activity is for participants to create new approaches to their teaching.

In this concluding activity in their personal inquiry, participants use the table below to describe their new approaches. Participants will include learning objectives addressed in an assignment or activity, and they’ll provide information about the three aspects of the TPACK model.

Ask participants to note:

 Key content/topics (big ideas only) encompassed in the assignment or activity.  Pedagogical strategies used in the past to teach the content and new possibilities for teaching that content.  Technology tools/resources that will enable more effectively teaching of that content.

Have participants review posts in Yammer and notes in their OneNote Notebook as they think about how to create new approaches and increase the fit between content, pedagogy, and technology. Participants should also consider how they can use 21st Century Learning Design to

enhance their students’ skills.

Ask participants to share their ideas in small groups and discuss connections to TPACK and 21st 27 st

Century Learning Design. Refer participants to the 21 Century literacy rubrics as necessary. Page

Microsoft TEI Faculty Development Workshop – Instructor’s Guide

In small groups, have participants discuss their new ideas as they exemplify the application of TPACK and 21st Century Learning Design. Have participants highlight the relationship between technology, pedagogy, and content and describe how the interaction of those domains shaped their thinking.

Assess Changes in TPACK and Inclusion of 21st Century Literacies Have participants complete the table below, assessing changes in how they’ve used TPACK and included 21st Century Learning Design.

Activity 8 - Going Public and Evaluating the Results

In order to learn from participants and extend participants’ learning after the workshop, have participants go public with what they’ve learned by posting a summary of their new ideas about instruction on the Yammer group. Encourage participants to use PowerPoint or creative Web 2.0 tools to present their new ideas. It may be helpful to have participants discuss their experiences in their small groups and even have some share with the large group as a final activity.

Activity Each small group should work together collaboratively using PowerPoint and Office Mix or other creative Web 2.0 tools to produce a product that shares the activity or assignment the group chose in Activity 7 that best exemplifies the application of TPACK in the instruction and impacts the students’ development of 21st Century Learning Design. Explicitly highlight the changes in the technology, pedagogy, and content that will be taught and the changes developed in the students’ 21st Century Learning Design. Post these products to Yammer. Take some time to introduce participants to Office Mix, a tool that turns a PowerPoint presentation into an interactive online lesson. Demonstrate an Office Mix product to help participants understand the three primary functions of the tool: authoring, interactivity, and sharing in the cloud. Provide participants with access to the “How To” videos on using Office Mix.

During the TEI workshop participants spend considerable time justifying their technology, pedagogy, and content (TPACK) choices. These choices have focused on finding the best “fit” for all three areas. Perhaps surprisingly to some (given that the workshop focuses on Technology Enhanced Instruction), the conversations usually began around the content and not the technology. We want each participant to leave with an increased knowledge of how to use TPACK-based reasoning in planning their instruction and how to increase the 21st century skill development in their students. With those content goals in mind, the appropriate pedagogy for the workshop is inquiry. As the workshop concludes, encourage participants to share their new ideas by posting any materials they create on Yammer. If time permits, have participants read each other’s posts and provide feedback on Yammer. Encourage participants to make revisions to their activity based on these suggestions. 30

Pedagogies Analyze Data: Students can organize, classify, and analyze data in order to recognize patterns, describe relationships, and develop interpretations. In the process of analyzing data, students may create charts, graphs, plots, or other visual ways of making sense of information.

Brainstorming: This is a group activity technique designed to generate a large number of ideas for solving a problem. The technique assumes that one good idea can spark many others. It draws on the group’s knowledge and experience and, when all ideas are recorded equally, it encourages full participation.

Collaboration: A key to 21st Center Learning Design, student interact and share responsibility and make substantive decisions with each other.

Compare and Contrast: By comparing and contrasting different forms of evidence, perspectives, or information, students can explore divergent viewpoints. A number of different types of charts and organizers (for example, T-charts or Venn diagrams) can assist students in the process of comparing and contrasting information.

Conduct an Interview: Students can draw on expert knowledge outside the classroom by interviewing a subject-matter expert. Whether conducted face-to-face, over the telephone, or via web-based videoconferencing, the interview process can help students increase their understanding of a course topic. Using digital tools, students can record interviews for further analysis or share them with others.

Create a Film: Using an analog or digital video recorder, students can create a film demonstrating their understanding of a course concept or topic. Student can deepen their knowledge of relevant content by developing film narratives and scripts, and though editing.

Debate: Students can engage in a discussion of various research-backed viewpoints related to a course topic or concept. This discussion can take place in a face-to-face or asynchronous format online.

Demonstration: A demonstration is an instructional activity in which a teacher presents a specific activity or strategy in order to show students how something is done, how something works, or presents an event to challenge students’ prior conceptions.

Discuss: Discussion is a strategy that involves teachers and students engaging in structured conversation organized by a topic or question. Discussions can take many forms—from more loosely organized or causal conversations to more formal discourse, such as Socratic dialogue.

Engage in Data-Based Inquiry: Inquiry is a process by which teachers and students ask questions and systematically use data and information from authoritative sources or classroom investigations to respond to the question.

Flip the Classroom: A model of teaching in which instructors turn a lecture or other materials essential to understanding a topic into homework, often via video. Time in class is spent on inquiry-based learning activities that promote understanding. Some hallmarks of the flipped classroom are peer interaction and testing students’ skills in applying knowledge.

Knowledge Construction: Students build new knowledge. In 21st Center Learning Design, it is essential that knowledge be interdisciplinary.

Minute Write: A minute write is a formative assessment technique where teachers pose a specific or open-ended question regarding a course concept and ask students to write a response in 1–2 minutes. Without revealing names, sample responses and feedback can be provided to the whole class.

Note Taking: Note taking is the process of recording information from a source such as a lecture, a text, or a presentation.

Participate in a Simulation: Simulations are activities that attempt to replicate life experiences for the purpose of providing students opportunities to learn how to participate in similar activities or to learn from those activities.

Portfolio: A portfolio is a purposeful collection of work students create over time to provide evidence of learning associated with predetermined objectives.

Present: A presentation is a formal offering by teachers or students of some product or understanding. Presentations often follow inquiry activities or other investigations.

Real-World Problem-Solving and Innovation: A key tenet of 21st Century Learning Design, in which learning requires solving authentic, real-world problems. Students’ solutions may be implemented in the real world.

Research: Research is a systematic investigation of academic topics using sources and methods from relevant academic disciplines and collections, such as peer-reviewed sources.

Self-Regulation: Learning goals are clear and expectations shared. Students have opportunities to plan and revise their own work.

Skilled Communication: Students are able to create effective communication.

Survey: Surveys ask a series of questions to evaluate students’ attitudes and/or knowledge prior to or after instruction or to evaluate the instruction itself. A survey is a good way to collect information, baseline data, and individual opinions. Instructors may choose to share survey data with the class.

Team-Based Learning: Team-based learning is a well-defined instructional strategy that enables a single instructor to teach through conducting multiple small groups simultaneously in the same classroom. Students must actively participate in and out of class through preparation and group discussion. Class time is shifted away from learning facts and toward application and integration of information.

Use of Technology for Learning: A 21st Century Learning Design rubric. Students use technology to support knowledge construction, and technology may be necessary to that knowledge construction.

Video Presentation: Video can be used for demonstrations, triggers, and learner-produced projects, and more. Playing short video segments is often an entertaining and efficient means of teaching content, raising issues, and stimulating discussion. Teachers can also assign students a topic and have them produce their own videos (individually or in teams) as a way to learn content as they create the video.

Writing a Report or Paper: A report or paper is one way of representing what a student has learned in an inquiry or through research. Reports and papers often are constructed given specific requirements or expectations with academic disciplines.
