ISTE Standards Infographics: A missing piece?
There are all together 7 components in the ISTE Standards for students: empowered learner, digital citizen, knowledge constructor, computational thinker, creative communicator, innovative designer, and global collaborator. I noticed that none of you chose "knowledge constructor" to create an infographic. What has puzzled you? What might it mean to your best guess?
Let's watch an video overview of the ISTE Standards to get a whole picture of it.
Group discussion on Padlet:
Work in groups of 3 or 4 to discuss the following questions and post your responses to the Padlet for your group (15 mins). When you finish your group discussion, check out another groups' posts and leave comments there. (5 mins)
You also read How classroom technology is holding students back. What were some of your big takeaways from the reading? With what did you agree? Disagree?
How do the ISTE Standards connect with this article? In the classroom vignettes that the author described, did you see examples of the standards?
Why should we care about ISTE standards?
What can we do to promote recognition to the technology-integration in K-12 classrooms? How can we equip pre-service teachers with the mindset?

HOMEWORK (DUE Friday, Jan 17th, before class)
1. Read the UDL Chart (also printed as handout).
2. Read: Rose, D. H., & Gravel, J. W. (2010). Universal design for learning. In P. Peterson, E. Baker & B. McGraw (Eds.), International encyclopedia of education (pp. 48-56). Oxford: Elsevier.
You will have to create a free account to read the chapter – but the web version has some nice accessibility features that might be useful to you, for example, there is an option to have any text that you highlight read to you.
Only Chapter 4 is required (Pages 48-57). The videos included are not required to view but might help to explain UDL a bit better.
This goes into fantastic detail about what Universal Design for Learning really means. This should be of particular interest to anyone planning to work in special education or speech-language pathology or anyone just interested in better learning design.
Pay close attention to the 3 principals of UDL. Being able to describe these and identify examples of them will be really important for several activities this semester.
