b. plan and manage activities to develop a solution or complete a project.
5. Digital Citizenship: Students understand human, cultural, and societal issues related to technology and practice legal and ethical behavior. Students:
d. exhibit leadership for digital citizenship.
6. Technology Operations and Concepts: Students demonstrate a sound understanding of technology concepts, systems and operations. Students:
b. select and use applications effectively and productively.
d. transfer current knowledge to learning of new technologies.
Enduring Understandings:
Students will understand that:
Responsible digital citizens demonstrated shared characteristics, habits and attitudes.
We can work together to teach others what we have learned.
We can use web 2.0 tools to collaborate and communicate with a global audience.
Essential Questions:
What are the characteristics, habits and attitudes of a responsible digital citizen?
How can we work together to teach others about responsible digital citizenship?
How can we collaborate and communicate with others online?
Assessment Evidence
GRASPS Task
Goal: Your goal is to produce a multimedia handbook about basic technology tools and digital citizenship for ISB elementary students.
Role: You are a team of student leaders at ISB.
Audience: Elementary students at ISB, and around the world.
Situation: You will need to collaborate together to produce a thorough, easy to understand, multimedia tutorial wiki about basic technology tools and digital citizenship for a school and worldwide audience.
Product/Performance: Your wiki must demonstrate everything that you have learned about digital citizenship and basic technology tools this quarter.
Six Facets of Understanding:
Explain: Produce a screencast tutorial about how to use a specific technology feature in MS Office.
Apply: As a team, create a multimedia handbook about digital citizenship for ISB elementary students.
Interpret: As part of your presentation to ISB elementary students, write a skit to demonstrate your understanding of digital citizenship.
Perspective: Develop and deliver a lesson to ISB elementary students presenting all facets of responsible digital citizenship.
Self-Knowledge: On your blog, describe what you know about digital citizenship. At the end of the course, go back to your first post and reflect on what you’ve learned. What more do you need to learn?
Empathize: On your blog, write a post in the perspective of one of the characters in the public service announcements. Reflect on the events of that day and how they made you feel.
And here’s how I broke it down into the stages of the MYP Technology Design Cycle:
Investigate
During the first part of the project, we spent most of our class time exploring different types tutorials and determining what the criteria are for a quality tutorial. To get the discussion started, we watched and critiqued the first one (on adding a survey in Moodle) as a class. Then, they had class (and homework) time to watch at least 2 other tutorials from the list below (or a different tutorial that they found and shared with the class):
Adding a chart in Google Docs
How to draw realistic eyes
Student Sample from last year
Discussion Settings in WP
RSS in Plain English
VoiceThread tutorial
Switch to Mac
For each tutorial they watched, they added a response to the Moodle discussion forum answering the following questions:
What did the creator of this tutorial do well?
What would you change about this tutorial?
What aspects of this tutorial would you like to include in your own tutorial?
In the end, we came up with a list (as a class) of criteria for a good tutorial that all students will be assessed with at the end of the project. Then, because we had so many different skills to create tutorials on, I asked students to form groups based on the tutorials we needed (this list was based on the course curriculum I was given). Finally, each student wrote a blog post reflecting on what they learned in that section of the project , which tutorial they had chosen to create and why, and what they need to learn to complete their tutorial.
The next time I teach this course, I would also add some exploration time with ScreenRecorder and MovieMaker (and maybe even GarageBand) since we ended up doing quite a lot more editing than I thought we would. I would also add in brainstorming time for students to create a mini-storyline for their tutorial to help give them focus and to make the tutorials a little more interesting.
Plan
During the planning, students created a storyboard and script of their tutorial, keeping in mind all of the criteria we developed during the investigate stage. We focused on: making the tutorial understandable by anyone (even people who are not in our class), using simple and clear directions, including a basic introduction and credits, and changing the view and “zoom” on the screen to keep the tutorial interesting. Once the students completed their storyboard and script, they posted it on their individual blog along with a reflection on this part of the project.
Create
At this point, students have a good idea of what their tutorial will look like and exactly what steps they need to take to complete their tutorial. They spent a little bit of time exploring with the SmartNotebook SmartRecorder (which happens to be our only screencasting software available to students), after watching this tutorial created by Matt, and then got right down to the recording.
Aside from some serious Windows-related drama about recording volume (oh how I miss working in a Mac lab), it really only took one lesson for the students to record their complete screencast. Of course, they all wanted to add the extra features, so we brought their screencasts into MovieMaker and started adding the finishing touches. Once they had their introductions and credits, it was time to add background music. Since we have access to a smaller Mac lab, we spent one lesson exploring with GarageBand to create simple (and original) background tracks.
As each student finished their tutorial, they did a peer assessment based on the class criteria. Once they had feedback from their peers, they had time to edit and fix any issues with their completed tutorial. After they were satisfied, they uploaded their finished tutorial to YouTube, embedded it in a blog post and reflected on their finished product.
Evaluate
For the last few days of the project, we spent some time determining which aspects of the ISB Definition of Learning we achieved throughout the process of completing our tutorials:

One of the things I love about being a technology facilitator is that I get to see all sorts of fantastic management strategies in the many classrooms I visit. Every teacher seems to have a unique way of handling the variety of tools we have at our disposal here at ISB. Thankfully, as part of our CoETaIL course, Jeff and Dennis asked all of the participating teachers to add to a shared VoiceThread about technology management strategies in the classroom.

I firmly believe that technology is best taught within the context of the core curriculum. The natural use of authentic technology within the classroom setting, just like the way we use paper and pencil without any second thoughts, is always what I’m striving for.
-
“we are all ESL teachers,”
-
“we are all technology teachers.”
-
I certainly understand that this is not a change that will happen overnight. Much like the move towards more ELL friendly instruction, teachers will need to learn appropriate skills, strategies and approaches to authentically and successfully embed technology within their core subject. Of course, this will take time, and during this transition, in my opinion, it’s the responsibility of the technology facilitator (or coordinator or integration specialist or whatever they may be called) to help their colleagues build their understanding of successful technology-rich teaching practices.

the blogging guidelines our elementary students developed last school year during their first experiences blogging. Interestingly, the guidelines our grade 4 students created last year were just as applicable to middle (and high) school as they were for elementary. We ended up using almost all of the guidelines from last year, with just a few minor re-phrasing issues and consolidation.
