CSCL paper      Next week

Programming Languages Paper

CS Master’s 

Thailand Paulo wants to see when we do workshops with teachers, how can we evolve the format? Make it something more than just learning the Gogo board and the laser cutter. When it’s for teachers, how can we do something that will ensure that they will do something with the knowledge, and not just some cool skills? 

Social norms: What should be doing in class? Knowledge:       Teaching structure      Thinking about Assessment     

Scaffolding:       Design a unit or an activity            Curricular construction class 

What we need by tomorrow is to send a first set of readings A week from tomorrow, we will discuss the readings and give them a new set to get them warmed up for the workshop.

UbD Dan’s book?

CURRICULUM AND ASSESSMENT the issue with the school is they have a lot of freedom. Not sure much training they have as teachers.  It would be nice if what they would get out of the workshop would be intentional curricular design.  We could add some of the action research pieces that we did last time.       —> How do you build in assessments and evaluations and feedback points?           — purpose           — actor (teacher, self, peer, hybrid)           — audience (self, school, student, parent, system)      —> Where in the pedagogical cycle are opportunities for research?           — reflections, exit tickets, peer feedback,       —> Research tools            — email, forms, analytics — Building a culture of research at your school. Communities of practice, planned learning communities. 

Pull together curriculum for this workshop

The challenge is how to integrate the DDLab with the ideas in the workshop?
