Online Session 1: Getting Started
Goals: Course overview and introductions. Participants will be provided with an overview of
Google Classroom, how its features will be used for the course, and collaborate on the challenges
teachers encounter integrating technology in their classroom. We will also cover the
importance of Learning and Innovation skills for our students, and start thinking about the
‘HOW” instead of the just the “WHAT” to kick it up a notch in our classrooms. The 4Cs: Critical Thinking, Communication, Collaboration, Creativity
Online Session 2: Tools of Engagement Goals: Learn the stages of technology integration according to the SAMR model and identify
uses/tools of each stage for use in your classroom. We will be exploring Dr. Ruben Puentedura’s
Substitution Augmentation Modification Redefinition (SAMR) model to assess our current
practice and shift to our focus from tools to student engagement. Online Session 3: Flip A Lesson
Goals: Flip an existing class lesson by creating a screencast and online quiz to check student
understanding. Develop classroom activities to complement the lesson using the results of your
online quiz. Online Session 4: Transform A Lesson Goals: Create or modify a lesson to provide students with opportunities to think critically
through collaboration and creativity, and communicate their knowledge with others. We will use
the various tools from the course to for integrated lesson development and share our
newly integrated lesson & experiences in the course. *Participants seeking graduate credit will be required to include all technology components learned throughout the course in their transformed lesson in Session 4.
