NOTE

FROM THE

EDITOR

I can still vividly remember the beginning of the space unit in first grade. One Monday morning we walked into the classroom to find all of our desks pushed out of the way and a giant spaceship in the middle of the classroom. The lights were dimmed and glowing stars had been stuck all over the ceiling and the walls. The spaceship had flashing lights, made spaceship sounds, and was surrounded by purple rocks. You have never seen 6 and 7 year olds so excited about learning. As we sat in a circle around the spaceship we were each handed a purple playdough space rock. I remember discussing where we thought the space rock may have come from based on clues from around the room. One student spotted the Space Rock book by Susan Schade and Jon Buller. Each student received a copy of the Space Rock leveled reader and we read it together. As we read we made more predictions about where our purple space rocks had come from. Even the most reluctant readers in our class were excited about reading that Monday morning. This was the grand kick off for our unit on space (which was equally memorable). I wonder if our students can pick out a lesson that we have taught with such fondness? This issue of iLearn takes a look at learning and the use of iPods in the classrooms. I hope you find some great ideas that will stand out in your student’s minds someday.

Century Literacy and the constructivist classroom The introduction of technology into our daily lives has skewed the way that we view our world, the way that we work, the way we communicate, and now has us reworking what it means to be literate.

Traditionally, schools have focused on the three Rʼs: reading, ʻriting, and ʻrithmetic. The literacy portion of these skills being reading and writing. Literacy is expanding in the 21st century with a new set of essential skills that students must gain to be considered literate. Before any discussion about 21st century literacy can develop, we have to begin with a closer look at teaching and learning.

The traditional classroom When you think about school, does a vision of a traditional classroom come to mind? One that has a teacher at the front of the classroom lecturing while students sit passively at their desks taking notes, or “The biggest enemy simply “taking it all in”? This is what the school scape has looked like for centuries with few exceptions. 21st century to learning is the literacy does not fit well into this traditional classroom talking teacher.” model. In fact, I would argue that teaching 21st century literacy skills with 21st century technology will feel forced John Holt and unnatural in this environment. This is due, in part, to the way that technology invites us to explore, to question, to discover new ways to do things, to create. Technology may be found in the traditional classroom but it is going to be in the form of slide show presentations that are taking the place of the chalkboard. While this may be more visually appealing, the role of the teacher and the student remains the same. In the traditional classroom, the primary job of a student is to absorb the information > iLearn

“I never teach my pupils, I only attempt to provide the conditions in which they learn.” - Albert Einstein

the teacher is giving them and then regurgitate it back in the form of worksheets, reports, quizzes, and tests. The teacher is the center of the classroom.

The constructivist classroom

So, if the traditional classroom isnʼt the right framework for 21st century literacy, what kind of classroom does it need to thrive? A project-based, constructivist classroom. Constructivism is not a new educational philosophy, but it is being pushed to the forefront of education once again with the emergence of 21st century literacy skills. Constructivism is an idea coined by John Dewy who believed that students learn best when they build critical thinking and problem solving skills instead of memorization. Unlike a traditional classroom, this classroom believes that students learn best when they construct their own knowledge. Instead of being given a fact to memorize, students explore and discover learning and new information. Project based learning emphasizes activities that may take longer to complete (instead of short worksheets), they are often interdisciplinary with real world issues and practices. This type of learning context is unique in that it motivates the student by engaging them in their own learning. They are not passive observers of learning, rather participants. The constructivist classroom has students asking questions, debating ideas, making predictions, planning, designing, analyzing, discovering, communicating, and creating. It is active. It requires something of students. Students are encouraged to investigate and ask questions. The classroom becomes a learning community. This classroom lends itself naturally to the integration of technology and building of 21st century literacy skills. With the proper backdrop, we can successfully prepare our students to be literate in the 21st century.

21st century literacy 21st century literacy skills are those skills that students need to thrive in the world they find themselves in. These skills include creativity, innovation, critical thinking, problem solving, communication, collaboration, initiative, productivity, and responsibility. The traditional classroom worked well in a world where the 3 Rʼs were enough, where information was not so readily available and one had to rely on an ʻexpertʼ to learn something. Many of our students have grown up in a world where the Internet and cell phones have ʻalways beenʼ. Information is readily available at their fingertips at all times. Students today donʼt understand the purpose of memorizing countless dates, names, and facts. As one student challenged me, “why do I have to memorize the exact date of the Battle of Bull Run? If I ever need to know the exact date I can just Google it.” You know what? He is absolutely right! We shouldnʼt be teaching our students how to memorize and regurgitate facts that we tell them are important. They should be > 5

“

discovering knowledge and we should be guiding The illiterate of the them in that discovery and exploration. Googling the 21st century will not be Battle of Bull Run is an excellent solution if students know how to think critically about the information they those who cannot read and find. Context is key. They may not need to write but those who memorize exact dates but they do need to have cannot learn, unlearn, context for what they are learning so that when they and relearn. stumble upon a Wikipedia ʻfactʼ that says the Battle of Bull Run took place in 1998, they can think critically Alvin Toffler about and question that ʻfactʼ. These new literacies are those that will keep our students competitive in our increasingly global society. Being literate has become so much more than just learning how to read and write. A combination of visual, audio, and textual elements have become the norm, literacy requires students to be fluent in decoding and creating each. Students must be able to speak, write, read, and express ideas creatively while communicating them in new ways. 21st century literacy encourages student interaction with a community of learners, learning should not take place in a vacuum. Because we are preparing students for a world that doesnʼt yet exist with the exponential growth of information and global economies; we need students who can think critically, problem solve, collaborate, and act creatively. The cornerstone of 21st century literacy is promoting self directed learners. Many believe that 21st century literacy is all about technology. Technology is a piece of this literacy, but it isnʼt the most important piece. Simply injecting technology into a classroom is not going to give us smarter students. Our students have a natural propensity toward discovery. We need to tap into this curiosity and discovery behavior. If we merely view our students as receivers of information, then technology really doesnʼt make any difference to the educational environment. We need to see students as learners and creators, only then will technology begin to lead toward 21st century literacy.

“

Mrs. Hebert, Mrs. Graybill, Mrs. Nelson, Mr. Austin, Mrs. Onesty, Mr. Anderson, Mr. Yansak. These are the teachers who shaped me as a lifelong learner. I grew up in the 20th century and yet I had some incredible teachers who taught me those skills that we now consider 21st century literacies. These teachers didnʼt just impart knowledge. These educators were masters, engaging me in my learning. They taught me how to think, how to question, how to be creative. Rest assured, you can be an amazing teacher without using technologies if you are fostering students as learners. But, also know that any teacher who is not using appropriate technologies is not fully preparing students for their future. It is our job to take an honest look at our classrooms and ask: are we preparing our students to be literate members of society? << iLearn

6 amazing ways that the iPod takes learning mobile

Learning

iPods introduce an incredible dynamic to learning...mobility. No longer are students constrained to the four walls of the classroom or the hours of the school day. Today kids can take their learning with them, making it possible to carry around an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) right in their pocket! Students can learn in a manner that meets their specific needs at their specific level. What other learning tool allows struggling students to pause, stop, rewind, and replay instruction as needed? What other learning tool makes it possible to reach each student and address their iLearn

individual needs simultaneously? In addition to increased learning, using iPods as a learning tool proves to be highly motivating and exciting for the students using them. Get ready to revolutionize the way that your students learn with 6 ways that the iPod take learning mobile.

1. Podcasts What they can do: Podcasts are perhaps the most popular use for iPods in education. Podcasts can serve many purposes from acting as a reading buddy for a struggling > 14

reader, to re-instructing a student on a new math concept, elaborating on difficult science concepts, or recording a lesson for an absent student to review later. One of the most useful features of the podcast is the ability to catalogue them, building a library that can be added to and used from year to year. Parents, volunteers, and students can help record these podcasts taking some of the work load off of the classroom teacher. Podcasts can be shared among teams, grade levels, and with a wider audience on iTunes. Why: Teachers can personalize instruction by syncing student iPods with the saved library content that meets their specific learning needs throughout the year. Students can record and play back a podcast of themselves reading or speaking to improve fluency, annunciation, or to practice a foreign language. The immediate feedback is perfect for struggling readers and students in speech therapy. How: Podcasts can be recorded by phone, using software, or using a voice recorder connected to the iPod. Recording by phone is simple with free online services such as Gabcast http:// gabcast.com or phone.io http://drop.io/file/ phone. This is a handy option for teachers who may not be comfortable with computers, or parents who want to help from work or home. GarageBand has the ability to make the most impressive podcasts providing the ability to include pictures, sound effects, jingles, and more. GarageBand is the option to use for 15

podcasts that will be used regularly year after year. Recording directly to the iPod is a nice option for students and teachers. Using a third party voice recorder, students and teachers can record directly to the iPod and immediately replay the recording. Third party recorders can be purchased for $10- $40 and are easy to use. (See page 18 for recorders) iTunes U is an outstanding resource for k-12 learning, the podcast library is constantly growing with ready made educational content and can be downloaded for free.

2. Slideshows What they can do: The Nano, Classic, and Touch iPods have the ability to play slideshows. Students can practice sight words or a foreign language through a slideshow that displays the word with audio. Read along stories can be created in a slideshow format to guide struggling readers. Teaching can be recorded and combined with the slideshow that accompanied it for review or to be sent home with students who were absent. Customized flash card sets can be created in Keynote or GarageBand for students to practice with anywhere. Why: These iPods add an additional layer of personalized learning and are the perfect companion for visual learners. Learning is enhanced when audio is blended with a visual counterpart. >

How: Slideshows can be created using iPhoto, GarageBand, or Keynote. Website Tar Heel Reader http://tarheelreader.org/ also has the ability to create e-book/ slideshows that can be downloaded onto the iPod. Tar Heel Reader has easy readers that can be speech enabled. There are hundreds of easy readers to download, but the site also allows teachers and students to create their own readers.

3. Videos What they can do: The video iPods can play mp4, .mov, m4v, and MPEG-4 video formats. Videos can be used for everything from math simulations and science experiments to phonics songs and tutorials. Illustrate lessons with a mashup of videos that accompany teaching. Step by step instructional videos can be created for special needs students who benefit from having processes broken down again and again. Why: Videos can be used to customize any lesson. If a picture is worth 1,000 words, a video is worth a million or more. Videos help students understand difficult concepts that a picture can始t do justice to. How: There is an incredible number of educational videos on video sharing sites like YouTube. Because these videos play using Flash, they have to be downloaded and converted into an iPod ready format. These videos can be made iPod ready easily using conversion tools like http:// vixy.net, http://zamzar.com, http:// kickyoutube.com, http://pwnyoutube.com, or http://movavi.com. You can create your own videos, or create a mashup of videos using iMovie or www.jumpcut.com. 16

4. Text Files & e Books What they can do: The Nano, Classic, and Touch have the ability to view text files, and e-books. E-books are most readily available for the Touch but if you can convert the e-book into a text file, it can be displayed on the Nano or the Classic as well. E-books allow students to carry around several books with them everywhere they go. Many e-book readers for the Touch provide extra features such as highlighting, annotations, and include an integrated dictionary. Font sizes and type can be adjusted to fit the needs and preferences of the student. Some e-books include animated images or multimedia clips. iPods allow for e-books to be read in low light or in the dark. Many e-books are free or can be purchased for a lower price than their traditional counterparts. Why: E-books can make reading less overwhelming for a struggling or reluctant reader. It can be daunting to hold a 200 page book in your hands. With an e-book, students read one small page at a time without being reminded of how far they have to go. E-books are highly portable making it easy for students to read on the go and when they have snipits of time (waiting in line with mom at the grocery store). Classroom lecture notes can be saved as a text file to be read and reviewed by students anywhere. >

How: E-books are easily found. www.ereader.com has a great selection of kids e-books including Junie B. Jones, Magic Treehouse, Harry Potter, and Twilight. eReader is a Barnes and Noble company. Most books are for sale but they do have a selection of free e-book classics. www.fictionwise.com has 35 free classics as well as a free dictionary of world history, an English to Spanish dictionary, and English dictionary. www.manybooks.net is a collection of free e-books. There are 1,678 young reader e-books that are available in multiple file formats. Audio books are also available for free on Many Books. www.textonphone.com has text and books that can be downloaded to the iPod for free. Text on Phone has approximately 3,000 free e-books. In order to view e-books on the Nano or Classic, they must first be converted to a text file. www.ebookhood.com allows you to convert e-books into text files that can be viewed in iPod notes. Register at www.ebookhood.com and RSS feeds can be converted into iPod notes as well. Software can be purchased to create your own e-books. e-book Studio for Macs ($29.95) is one such software. With ebook Studio for Macs, e-books can be created that can be read using the eReader application on the Touch. The software makes it easy to design the navigation of a document, format it, add images, and cut and paste from other text documents. Speakaboos is a reading site for primary students. www.speakaboos.com offers free downloads of an interactive e-story book for the iPod. Additionally, interactive e-books can be purchased from Speakaboos. 17

5. Internet What it can do: The iPod Touch is the only iPod with an Internet browser. The Touch can connect automatically to a WiFi network within range. Why: Increasingly, websites are creating a mobile version of their site to be viewed on mobile devices like the iPod. Having a portable Internet connection makes it easy for students to research, play educational learning games, and create everywhere. Google Docs now has a mobile version where students can navigate through their folders and view their word processing documents, and spreadsheets. Sites like Zoho even have mobile, browser-based database software allowing students to collect data on the go (science teachers rejoice). How: The Touch comes with the Internet browser Safari. Many websites now have a mobile version some of the best are http://google.com, www.flickr.com, http:// zoho.com/mobile. Websites like www.skweezer.com allow you to squeeze any webpage into a iPod friendly form within the Safari iPod browser.

6. Applications What they can do: Applications take advantage of the iPod Touch features including the multi-touch, accelerometer, 3-D graphics, and sound. They can do everything from transforming the Touch into a tape measure to quizzing students on math facts through fun, interactive games. Why: Applications make learning highly engaging for students. Many educationally >

related applications are free making them easy to use in the classroom (no waiting on special application funding!). Each application has something unique to add to education. How: Check out Application article starting on page 20 for free applications to use in your classroom. Applications can be downloaded from iTunes and synced with the Touch, or downloaded from the App Store directly to the Touch. <<

Recording with the iPod Add functionality to your classroom iPods with a voice recorder. With different price points and compatibility, there is a voice recorder for every classroom.

D i g i t a l Storytelling with

Photo Booth

Photo Booth makes it simple for students (k-12) to tell their stories digitally. 40

Lesson: Digital Storytelling Materials: • Drawing software (Skitch, Kerpoof Doodle, Shidonni, Tux Paint, Kid Pix, etc.) • Photo Booth (version 2.0.2 or newer) • Pages Digital Storytelling Storyboard template • iSight camera or webcam • Microphone • A piece of student writing ready to be published • iMovie (optional) • Internet access (Fliggo account www.fliggo.com) • Digital Storytelling Rubric created with DigiTales http://www.digitalesus.com/ evaluating/scoring_guide ISTE Standards Met: • 1. Creativity and Innovation: Students demonstrate creative thinking, construct knowledge, and develop innovative products and processes using technology. Students: • a. apply existing knowledge to generate new ideas, products, or processes. • b. create original works as a means of personal expression. • 2. Communication and Collaboration: Students use digital media and environments to communicate and work collaboratively, including at a distance, to support individual learning and contribute to the learning of others. • b. communicate information and ideas effectively to multiple audiences using a variety of media and formats. • 4. Critical Thinking, Problem Solving, and Decision Making: Students use critical thinking skills to plan and conduct research, manage projects, solve problems, and make informed decisions using appropriate digital tools and resources. Students: • b. plan and manage activities to develop a solution or complete a project. • 6. Technology Operations and Concepts: Students demonstrate a sound understanding of technology concepts, systems, and operations. Students: • a. understand and use technology systems. • b. select and use applications effectively and productively. • d. transfer current knowledge to learning of new technologies. 41

Technology Skills: digital drawing, typing, basics of Photo Booth, screen shot short cut, recording video, uploading to a website, basics of iMovie (optional) Overview: Students will take a piece of original writing and turn it into a digital story with a mixture of student created art, video, and student narration using Photo Booth. Students will ‘illustrate’ their digital story background using a computer drawing program such as Skitch, Kid Pix, Tux Paint, www.kerpoof.com, or www2.shidonni.com. Introduction: Give students an overview of the lesson. Introduce students to the various tools they will be using to turn their original piece of writing into a digital story (drawing program, Photo Booth, Fliggo, and iMovie). Students will be creating artwork that acts as the background of their digital story. Next, students will record themselves telling their stories using Photo Booth with the picture they created showing behind them. Finally, students will share their digital story by uploading to a video sharing website (Fliggo). Instructional Input: Students will open the Pages digital storytelling template to create a storyboard for their digital story. Students will type their story onto the story board. This is where students will decide how many illustrations they will create for their digital story. Save the updated storyboard. Students will create illustrations for their digital story. The illustrations can be created in programs such as Skitch (www.skitch.com), Tux Paint (www.tuxpaint.org), Kerpoof Doodle (www.kerpoof.com), or Shidonni (www2.shidonni.com). As students complete their illustrations, they should take a screen shot of their drawing to save the picture file to the desktop. To take a screen shot, students will hold down the command, shift and 4 key and drag the mouse to ‘take a picture’ of the screen. Students will repeat these steps until they have created backgrounds for each scene of their digital story. Students will drag and drop the picture files from their desktop to the appropriate spot on their storyboard. Students can print out a copy of the storyboard to use as a script or open Photo Booth next to their storyboard. In Photo Booth, students will choose the video capturing option. In “Effects” students will choose the fourth set of effects which allows them to drag backdrops into Photo Booth. Students will drag the pictures they created to Photo Booth. Each backdrop represents another scene of the digital story movie. Students will choose their first backdrop effect and record themselves telling their story. For each new scene, they will stop recording, choose their next backdrop illustration, and start recording again. (a stand microphone is helpful to capture student reading.) Students will drag their completed video recordings from Photo Booth onto the desktop. These videos can be uploaded directly to a video sharing site like Fliggo (www.fliggo.com) or imported into iMovie and edited together into one video with additional effects, titles, sound effects, etc. 42

Differentiation of Instruction: This digital storytelling lesson is appropriate for students from kindergarten through twelfth grades. In the primary grades, students should only create one background and record their story as one video. The final video clip can be uploaded directly to a video sharing site. For secondary, middle, and high school students, you may choose to have them create multiple backgrounds and “scenes” for their digital story. These scenes can be imported into iMovie to create one video. Extension Activities: Students can import their digital story into iMovie and add video and sound effects, titles, and transitions to their story. Assessment: Students will be assessed based on the Digital Storytelling Rubric created using DigiTales. DigiTales has scoring guides based on what kind of writing led to the digital story, and what personal expression traits you want to grade. Use the DigiTales scoring guide to create a custom rubric that will best fit your needs. http://digitales.us/ evaluating/scoring_guide.php

These short bio-posters are excellent for a beginning of the year getting to know you project. Assessment: Students will be assessed on the completed poster. Did students follow all directions? Did they choose a picture that showed an action word?

Managing a Computer Lab Helpful tips and tricks for keeping your computer lab organized

Computer labs can be difficult to set up as both functional and appealing workspaces. The number of students and variety of age levels make it a challenge to set up so that it will meet the variety of needs. Here are my solutions for creating a lab that works. 1. Assign each student to a computer workspace. This makes it easy to take 53

attendance, keep students accountable for their use of the equipment, and makes it easier to get to know your students. I use little 3-M clips on each computer to hold a student name tag. These make it easy to see where students are sitting. On the back of student name tags, are student usernames and passwords. This is

important for younger students who may struggle with remembering a username and password from week to week. I also use these name tags as a behavior chart. If students are following directions and on task I put a sticker on the name tag. At the end of the semester I send name tags home for parents to see. iLearn
