Planning Activity

After you have decided whether or not you will do this with a group or on your own and posted your choice on the discussion board, you will complete the following planning steps: 1. Identify the standard you have chosen.
3. Model Digital Age Work and Learning: Teachers exhibit knowledge, skills, and work processes representative of an innovative professional in a global and digital society: a. Demonstrate fluency in technology systems and the transfer of current knowledge to new technologies and situations b. Collaborate with students, peers, parents, and community members using digital tools and resources to support student success and innovation c. Communicate relevant information and ideas effectively to students, parents, and peers using a variety of digital age media and formats d. Model and facilitate effective use of current and emerging digital tools to locate, analyze, evaluate, and use information resources to support research and learning

2. Analyze the target audience for your presentation. In a word document, write a paragraph that includes the following points: (1) age (2) cultural background (3) educational level (4) specific entry skills (5) learning styles of the target audience (6) motivation (Using the ARCS Model - see textbook Chapter 4)
We have a staff of 82 teachers and paraprofessionals ranging in age from 24 to 63. Our certified staff will have a bachelors degree and hold current state certification for educators. The learning styles of the staff would best be described as varied and diverse.

A(attention)-the tool (smart board and projector) will be wheeled into the room and will be introduced as a readily available resource for effective instruction. R(relevance)-Part of our schools improvement plan emphasizes the utilization of current and emerging technologies to provide effective instruction. The regular use of smart boards can help the staff do that consistently. C(confidence)-Make comparisons to common household hook ups/set ups (vcr, coffee maker, smart phone, HDTV, etc.) to point that this is no more complex than things they do on a daily basis. S(satisfaction)-The consistent use of technology to provide effective instruction is emphasized in our professional growth and evaluation plan at CMS. The use of this and other similar technologies would satisfy that requirement.

3. Write the objectives for your presentation. Remember that objectives should be stated using the ABCD format that you practiced in the ASSURE Model Module.

The certified staff of CMS will effectively hook up their smart board and projector. The staff will model their ability to set up a technologically integrated tool by successfully setting up the smart board. This will be done with 100% accuracy.
