Please print and share this form with your Mentor for the required signature 2. This form is due to your Peer Coach on or before Friday, June 27, 2014 3. Overview Author: Sarah Costello Sponsor Company: SRI International Abstract: The goal of this ETP is to provide educators with some excellent technology tools that encourage 21st century skills and student learning. Through this lesson, professionals will be exposed to multiple effective tools for the classroom and have a chance to interact with the tools and collaborate with each other. They will be given the opportunity to experience how their students learn with creating their own presentation by reflecting on the efficacy of the tools. Tools to use are Prezi for presentation, Padlet for word wall reflection, Popplet for creating concept maps, and Google Docs for collaboration. Proposed ETP Title: Learning through Technology Proposed ETP Type: Staff Development Grade Level(s): Education Transfer Plan Proposal October 18, 2014 School Staff Subject(s): Technology,Staff Development Standards Alignment Focal Standard Measurable Objective(s) Assessment California Standard for the Teaching Profession:
1.4 Using a variety of instructional strategies, resources, and technologies to meet students diverse learning needs Teachers will collaborate using new technology tools and create a presentation using one of them to reflect and explain how they can use that tool in their curriculum to promote student learning. Formative: Teachers will watch the Prezi before the scheduled PD time and post on the Padlet wall: What is one goal you have for you and your students this year in terms of 21st century skills and student learning? Formative: Teachers will also create concept maps, in groups, using Popplet to organize thoughts on Student Learning.
Summative: A teacher reflection tool will created and administered at the end of the professional development. This reflection will ask teachers to think about how they will use the new technologies in their classroom to promote student learning.

Connection to Fellowship 21st Century Skill(s) ICT (Information, Communications and Technology) LITERACY/Apply Technology Effectively Use technology as a tool to research, organize, evaluate and communicate information Use digital technologies (computers, PDAs, media players, GPS, etc.), communication/networking tools and social networks appropriately to access, manage, integrate, evaluate and create information to successfully function in a knowledge economy
21st Century Skill(s) Application The skills will be practiced during the lesson, as the staff will be asked to use technology tools to organize and communicate information. They will provide examples of how to integrate these technologies into their classroom in order to successfully promote student learning. Fellowship Description SRI International Education Division has a Center for Technology in Learning (CTL). Under this center is the Center for Innovative Research in Cyberlearning (CIRCL). CIRCL focuses on current and future cyberlearning projects that embed technology into the classroom and promote student learning. During my Fellowship, I am researching these cyberlearning projects and writing brief profiles about them. I am also interviewing successful people in the cyberlearning community to understand their perspective of the field. Through this Fellowship, we hope to bridge the gap between researchers, innovators, and educators. I use Google Docs to collaborate with other educators, the researchers, and developers of these projects. I have been exposed to many different cyberlearning careers such as researching, and developing effective cyberlearning projects. Fellowship Connection I plan to share my Fellowship with my staff first by having them reflect on student learning and what it can look like. I will expose them to many different technology tools that they can immediately take back to their classrooms and use with their students. By sharing the experience of my Fellowhsip including new and exciting cyberlearning projects I research, I hope to inspire them to continue to work to embed technology into their curriculum instead of just adding it in.
