‘Fulfilling the Potential – Transforming Teaching and Learning through ICT in Schools’
The aims for the next stage of development will be to ensure that for all schools:•ICT makes a significant contribution to teaching and learning across all subjects and ages, inside and outside the curriculum; •ICT is used to improve access to learning for pupils with a diverse range of individual needs, including those with SEN and disabilities; •ICT is used as a tool for whole-school improvement; •ICT is used as a means of enabling learning to take place more easily beyond the bounds of the formal school organisation and outside the school day; and •ICT capabilities are developed as key skills essential for participation in today’s society and economy.

CHALLENGE
PBL instruction is not as linear as traditional instruction. How canwe organize our project materials for student access, action, self-direction, and project management?
15
108319 _Macros

The Project Briefcase allows teachers to put all project materials in one spot for easy student access and to share with other teachers.
16
108319 _Macros
Getting and Assessing 21st Century Knowledge and Skills
All items are immediately and dynamically published to the web for access to the curriculum anywhere, anytime.
17

The Course Agenda helps keep complicated projects organized.
22

Like the other tools, this agenda also publishes to the web for students and parents to view anywhere they have a web connection.
24

CHALLENGE
How can we better hold students accountable for their collaboration skills while working in a group?
25
108319 _Macros
Getting and Assessing 21st Century Knowledge and Skills
At the end of each project, students evaluate their group members using this collaboration rubric database.
26
108319 _Macros
Getting and Assessing 21st Century Knowledge and Skills
Students submit evaluations using a standardized rubric for the whole school.
27
108319 _Macros
Getting and Assessing 21st Century Knowledge and Skills
Students can view how their peers rated them (although the evaluations are anonymous).
Teachers can view, edit, and delete evaluations as necessary. They can also print a report that averages the evaluations for a given project.
28
108319 _Macros
Getting and Assessing 21st Century Knowledge and Skills
The evaluations are accessible on the web.
Students have the option to “publish” the evaluations for use as evidence of their collaboration skills.
This is the key to allowing students to demonstrate their performance of our learning outcomes.
29

Getting and Assessing 21st Century Knowledge and Skills
CHALLENGE
How can we capture evidence for skills such as Oral Communication so that students have something to put on their portfolios?
30
108319 _Macros
Getting and Assessing 21st Century Knowledge and Skills
The Presentation Database is a place to record and display evaluations of student performance on presentations. Collecting data on our learning outcomes is critical for the student’s Professional Portfolio.
31
108319 _Macros
Getting and Assessing 21st Century Knowledge and Skills
The evaluations are accessible from the web after the student has marked the evaluation “public”.
32

CHALLENGE
How can we give students and parents clear feedback on student performance that better reflects our authentic assessment practices?
33

What do traditional teachers do with a major research paper that has been turned in late?
34
108319 _Macros
Getting and Assessing 21st Century Knowledge and Skills
More than likely, the teacher will take off points for each day the paper is late.
ASSESSMENT
35
108319 _Macros
Getting and Assessing 21st Century Knowledge and Skills
More than likely, the teacher will take off points for each day the paper is late.
As soon as the teacher puts that lowered grade in the grade book, we lose important data about the skills and abilities of the student.
ASSESSMENT
37

Using the NTH Gradebook, teachers can enter multiple grades for each assignment.
They can accurately record that the paper was late without losing data on how well the student understood the content.

The resulting portfolios are as diverse as the student body but with similar layouts and organization to aid in evaluation by staff and community members.
