(Trae​ ​Jones​ ​was​ ​responsible​ ​for​ ​the​ ​Flipgrid​ ​content​ ​during​ ​training.)

Topic: PL​ ​Tech​ ​Tips​ ​(Nearpod​ ​&​ ​Flipgrid)

Delivery​ ​Date: September​ ​14,​ ​2017
Location: Hart​ ​County​ ​High​ ​School
Audience: 4​ ​Planning​ ​Period​ ​Sessions​ ​+​ ​1​ ​After​ ​School​ ​Session
Time​ ​Allowed: 60-70​ ​minutes​ ​per​ ​session

Overview​ ​&​ ​Purpose:

Hart​ ​County​ ​High​ ​School​ ​is​ ​focused​ ​on​ ​integrating​ ​technology​ ​into​ ​classroom​ ​instruction.​ ​ ​Teachers​ ​are​ ​also​ ​looking
for​ ​ways​ ​to​ ​formatively​ ​assess​ ​students​ ​during​ ​class​ ​sessions​ ​to​ ​be​ ​able​ ​to​ ​alter​ ​instruction​ ​in​ ​a​ ​timely​ ​manner.​ ​ ​With​ ​both
of​ ​those​ ​goals​ ​in​ ​mind,​ ​Nearpod​ ​and​ ​Flipgrid​ ​were​ ​purchased​ ​to​ ​give​ ​teachers​ ​the​ ​ability​ ​to​ ​deliver​ ​more​ ​engaging​ ​content
and​ ​monitor​ ​understanding​ ​in​ ​real-time.​ ​ ​Nearly​ ​all​ ​participants​ ​in​ ​this​ ​professional​ ​learning​ ​workshop​ ​will​ ​have​ ​little​ ​to​ ​no
prior​ ​experience​ ​with​ ​either​ ​program.​ ​ ​The​ ​purpose​ ​of​ ​the​ ​training​ ​is​ ​to​ ​exposure​ ​teachers​ ​to​ ​these​ ​valuable​ ​tools,​ ​in
addition​ ​to​ ​preparing​ ​them​ ​to​ ​use​ ​Nearpod​ ​as​ ​the​ ​Digital​ ​Citizenship​ ​curriculum​ ​for​ ​this​ ​school​ ​year.

ISTE​ ​Standards:

1a. Set​ ​professional​ ​learning​ ​goals​ ​to​ ​explore​ ​and​ ​apply​ ​pedagogical​ ​approaches​ ​made​ ​possible​ ​by​ ​technology​ ​and
reflect​ ​on​ ​their​ ​effectiveness.
2a. Model​ ​for​ ​colleagues​ ​the​ ​identification,​ ​exploration,​ ​evaluation,​ ​curation​ ​and​ ​adoption​ ​of​ ​new​ ​digital​ ​resources​ ​and
tools​ ​for​ ​learning.
5a. Use​ ​technology​ ​to​ ​create,​ ​adapt​ ​and​ ​personalize​ ​learning​ ​experiences​ ​that​ ​foster​ ​independent​ ​learning​ ​and
accommodate​ ​learner​ ​differences​ ​and​ ​needs.
6b. Manage​ ​the​ ​use​ ​of​ ​technology​ ​and​ ​student​ ​learning​ ​strategies​ ​in​ ​digital​ ​platforms,​ ​virtual​ ​environments,​ ​hands-on
makerspaces​ ​or​ ​in​ ​the​ ​field.
7a. Provide​ ​alternative​ ​ways​ ​for​ ​students​ ​to​ ​demonstrate​ ​competency​ ​and​ ​reflect​ ​on​ ​their​ ​learning​ ​using​ ​technology.
7b. Use​ ​technology​ ​to​ ​design​ ​and​ ​implement​ ​a​ ​variety​ ​of​ ​formative​ ​and​ ​summative​ ​assessments​ ​that​ ​accommodate
learner​ ​needs,​ ​provide​ ​timely​ ​feedback​ ​to​ ​students​ ​and​ ​inform​ ​instruction.
7c. Use​ ​assessment​ ​data​ ​to​ ​guide​ ​progress​ ​and​ ​communicate​ ​with​ ​students,​ ​parents​ ​and​ ​education​ ​stakeholders​ ​to
build​ ​student​ ​self-direction.

Learning​ ​Outcomes:
● Determine​ ​which​ ​formative​ ​assessment​ ​features​ ​would​ ​be​ ​most​ ​beneficial​ ​for​ ​their​ ​content​ ​area​ ​by​ ​exploring
Nearpod​ ​from​ ​a​ ​student’s​ ​perspective.
● Increase​ ​knowledge​ ​base​ ​of​ ​Nearpod’s​ ​capabilities​ ​by​ ​watching​ ​differentiated,​ ​self-selected​ ​tutorial​ ​videos.
● Locate​ ​digital​ ​citizenship​ ​pre-made​ ​lessons​ ​within​ ​Nearpod’s​ ​lesson​ ​repository.
● Set-up​ ​teacher’s​ ​school​ ​Nearpod​ ​account.
