=Taking Notes:= Use this space to record your notes, observations, and ideas from the day's workshop. Format them in the manner you prefer. Note that you can use auto numbering, bulleted lists, and insert a horizontal line as a divider. Or if you prefer, you can insert a table and take your notes there.

QUESTION: HOW DOES THE THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK RELATE TO YOU AS A TEACHER?

At this point, development of problem solving and curriculum design needs to focus more on community development in relationship to the development of technological knowledge. As the director of curriculum and instruction, I have tried to bring clarity to quality content in relationship to the traditional academic areas. I have also attempted to develop strong pedagogical practices by having teachers engage in SD related to metacognitive practices. Our integration specialist has attempted to support technological skill development and open the teacher's eyes to many new Web 2.0 products. It is time for our district to take the next step in pulling curriculum design, instructional practice and technological knowledge all together.

=Identify Pedagogical Issue with Lesson/Unit= Based on this morning's introduction, examine a lesson/unit that you've taught. Identify the reasons that you feel it would benefit from revision in the areas of technology integration, digital equity, effective learning environments (including TPACK), etc.
 * ===Describe Issue=== || ===Relate to Categories of Theoretical Framework=== || ===List Possible Solutions, Resources, Options=== ||
 * //Example: Students aren't engaged by traditional lectures// || //Example: Effective Learning Environments// || //Example: Engage students visually while accessing prior knowledge using a slide show made from copyright friendly images or a video from [|TeacherTube].// ||

=Taking Notes:= Continue taking notes as we explore the process of updating a lesson/unit.

=Exploring Resources:= As you are exploring resources today, create a resources list below that can come back to as often as you want.

=Rewriting Your Lesson/Unit:= We can't tell you the format to use when writing, but we can provide you with the opportunity, time and resources to begin that work. Likewise, feel free to use this space if you like.

=Create a Rational for Integrating Technology= As a teacher and a learner, it is important to create a statement that explains why you are making this change to your teaching/learning approach. We have created a tool to facilitate this process. If you prefer to write your rational as a statement in paragraph or bulleted list format, feel free. In the workshop we will provide a paper copy to write, but the file is attached here as well as a resource.
