We need 21st Century Learning that creates critical and creative thinkers

** Thinking Critically and Creatively **
What is the goal or the problem? What is known about it? Metacognition Which thinking skill will get you to the goal?
 * Critical is analyzing the problem and creating a procedure following steps
 * Creative thinking is more out of the box.
 * Deductive reasoining
 * Argument analysis
 * Hypothosis testing
 * Uses of probablility
 * Decision Making
 * Problem-solving
 * Creative Thinking

What is the goal? Teach students to look for problems. Not Work Problem Seeking-what happens in nature that we can help solve a problem How does nature get water in the desert? How does nature create self-cleaning surfaces? Einstein's Gravity Confirmed on a Cosmic Scale?

 * Moodle**

Widgets and gadgets can be added.

html can be inbedded.

The initial view has a focal point-this should not be a boring list

Get a plug in called collapsed topics Now it is called collapsed weeks, months, etc. or topics

Add gadgets, widgets and video right away.

Moodle is object oriented dynamic learning environment

Number One strategy Use Label This is the only one that gives you that on the front page. Any time you want to embed something, use a label. It can hold html code. The rest are links.

Vokis can be put in too.

Use a voki-This is making an avatar and adding voice.

Vokis are pree, you embed it using a label.

Mind Map tools can be linked (There is one called Mind Map). Mind Map is a plug in.

Moodle.org will give you ideas for plug-ins If you are going to get into Moodle, join it. This open source and free It is in every country except for Antarctica. Keep things interactive. Free stuff is always under .org not .com You need a server.

Management time is very little.

Additional plugs-in may need to be on the server. Remember to test, test, test

You can view an image and respond. There can be a series of pictures they need to reflect to. The plug ins run in on the server side. Many plug ins run on the basic package so you don't need to loade it on the server.

Glossary- There is an html file that you can upload an Excel file to

Putting POdcasts within the glossary

There is a plugin for Crosswords, but you have to have a glossary.

Virtual Math Manipulatives from Vanderbuilt University

Physical Manipulatives help mathematical conceptual understanding.

Manipulatives can be a pain Waht about virtual manipulatives?

How do real virtual manipulatves compare with real manipulatives?

Student made their own manipulatives. Online students built their own kits.

There is a work space so they can use their manipulatives Is there time efficiency and opportunities to respond Does this ave time because the manipulativs are n't slowing us down?

Knowledge of fractions time efficiency the impact of additional tme

Day 10 the virtual had an advantage over physical. BAsically, if you look at Kelments work, there is no advantage, but there may be an advantage to the virtual condition. It could be that there is more time to respond.

so far no disadvantages to virtual manipulation. They are building an environment right now. They still feel that it should still be a blended instruction. It can't only be the computer.

SPEAK UP Looking for research partners. Key Findnigs students function as a digital advance team students adapt emerging technologies not adopt

Students have developed their own vision for leveraging emerging technolgies
 * Social based learning
 * untethered learing out of the physicla space of school
 * digitally rich learning
