Clever Single Sign-on Portal

We are excited to announce the launch of Clever at the TSC. Clever is a single sign-on portal designed to increase instructional time for students and staff by simplifying the login process for digital applications and resources. Once students and instructional staff login to Clever, they will be able to gain 'instant' access to several TSC-purchased applications that have been setup to use Clever (BrainPop, i-Ready, Reading Eggs). Other TSC-purchased applications are also accessible in Clever, but still require additional authentication in most cases. The goal is to enable more single sign-on applications in the future. To the left is a short video overview of Clever, along with instructions for teachers at each grade level.

Copyright Best Practices

Posting Copyrighted Material Online

Introduction

Making instructional materials available to students online can raise legal issues of copyright and the fair use of intellectual property. The following information addresses issues surrounding the digitizing, posting, and other uses of copyrighted works, such as articles, book chapters, sound or video recordings, and visual images. This information will introduce users of online course management systems to the legal options for using protected materials and to some alternative sources for instructional media.

Alternatives under the law

Current copyright law protects nearly all text, images, audio-visual recordings, and other materials, even if the original works do not include any statement about copyright. Copying and posting copyrighted works online, even for instructional purposes, may violate the legal rights of copyright owners. Nevertheless, teachers have several legal alternatives for teaching with protected and other works online, including:

Securing permission from the copyright owner
Linking to materials on other sites, rather than copying and posting
Using material in the public domain
Lawfully using protected materials after a "fair use" evaluation

Linking to databases on the web

Linking to materials that are available on the Internet or in databases raises fewer copyright questions than copying and posting those materials. The TSC Media Centers provide access to numerous full-text databases, image databases, and recordings, and the TSC Technology Department offers access to various digital content repositories. If you are linking to materials that are housed in a separate site that requires a student to login/authenticate, you are usually adhering to copyright laws.

Works in the public domain

The copyrights on some works have expired, and others have always been in the public domain, leaving them without restrictions on copying, uploading, and many other uses. Most notably, works published in the United States before 1923 are in the public domain. In addition, broad categories of works, such as works of the US government produced by government employees acting within their duties, have no copyright protection.

Fair use

The "fair use" exemption to copyright protection is the best known and the most important statutory exception for education. Fair use allows teachers to make limited use of copyrighted works without permission.

Epson Projectors

Connecting from a Windows 10 Device (iProjection)

For those using Windows 10 devices, you will need to utilize iProjection to connect to a projector via LAN. We have outlined instructions on connecting in this document.

Speakers

The new projectors also contain internal speakers. When staff connect to the projectors via HDMI or wirelessly using the iProjection software, the audio output setting may change from the Bose speakers or in-ceiling speakers to the internal projector speakers. Teachers should familiarize themselves with how to manually change the audio output setting on their computers to avoid any possible confusion. The audio output setting is located on the right-hand side of the Windows task bar in the icon tray (example below).

Google Expeditions

The TSC Technology Department has three Google Expedition kits available for teacher check out. In order to check out a kit, teachers must go through a training course or summer training. The course will give an overview of the Expedition kit, how to run an Expedition with students, and how to plan lessons with Expeditions.

Teachers are asked to work through five sections, with a self-check quiz after completing each section. The five sections in this training are:

Google Expeditions Basics
Device Care (smartphones & tablet)
Headset Care
Safety Considerations
Planning and Leading an Expedition

In the last section of this training, teachers are asked to complete a post-survey. This will give you access to the booking form for the TSC Expedition Kits.

HyperDocs

What is a HyperDoc?

HyperDoc Are vs Are not

Things you can do with a HyperDoc

A true HyperDoc is much more than some links on a document.

Creators deliberately choose web tools to give students opportunities to Engage • Explore • Explain • Apply • Share • Reflect • Extend the learning.
Digital collaboration is choreographed that give every student a voice and a chance to be heard by their classmates.
Critical thinking and problem solving skills can be developed through linked tasks.
Students have an opportunity to create authentic digital artifacts to show what they know, and connect with a wider audience.

Evaluate your HyperDoc

Is this a HyperDoc or a digital worksheet? Ask yourself the following:

1. Does your lesson follow a specific lesson design? (step 2) These templates will help with your structure.

2. Did you include the 4 C's in your lesson? Critical Thinking, Communication, Collaboration, and creation?

3. What level of critical thinking and technology did you integrate? Is this a simple recall task or does this push your student's thinking? Is it substitution or is the technology used transforming the learning?

Hack Your HyperDoc

Check to see where your HyperDoc falls on the checklist which incorporates the ISTE Standards, SAMR, and DOK levels.

SAMR Model

SAMR is a model designed to help educators infuse technology into teaching and learning. Popularized by Dr. Ruben Puentedura, the model supports and enables teachers to design, develop, and infuse digital learning experiences that utilize technology. The goal is to transform learning experiences so they result in higher levels of achievement for students.

SAMR is often depicted in visual representations to help practitioners better understand how it can be used to rethink instruction in a practical way. Below are two of our favorites.

SAMR Model

To understand how to apply an example to each level of the SAMR model, you must see the model as a continuum. If a lesson can continue with or without the use of a technology tool, then that is Substitution. But if a technology tool makes a lesson easier or improves a lesson, then that is Augmentation. In both levels, an instructor enhances the learning but does not transform it.

For a lesson to be transformed, means it cannot occur without the technology tool in place. For modification, technology must be present in order for the lesson to function. In the Redefinition level, the common classroom is replaced with a collaborative, student-centered environment where technology tools are the central focus of the learning.

It's important to note that the goal is not to move every lesson to the Redefinition level. Many instructional tasks are well-suited at the Substitution level or the Augmentation level, and that's okay! However, teachers should reflect on how their students are utilizing technology to identify opportunities for Modification and Redefinition. A savvy practitioner designs instructional activities that include a solid mix of all four SAMR levels.

TPACK

Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) is a framework that identifies the knowledge teachers need to teach effectively with technology.

At the heart of the TPACK framework, is the complex interplay of three primary forms of knowledge: Content (CK), Pedagogy (PK), and Technology (TK). The TPACK approach goes beyond seeing these three knowledge bases in isolation. TPACK also emphasizes the new kinds of knowledge that lie at the intersections between them, representing four more knowledge bases teachers applicable to teaching with technology: Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK), Technological Content Knowledge (TCK), Technological Pedagogical Knowledge (TPK), and the intersection of all three circles, Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK).

Effective technology integration for pedagogy around specific subject matter requires developing sensitivity to the dynamic, transactional relationship between these components of knowledge situated in unique contexts. Individual teachers, grade-level, school-specific factors, demographics, culture, and other factors ensure that every situation is unique, and no single combination of content, technology, and pedagogy will apply for every teacher, every course, or every view of teaching.

TPACK

So how do I implement TPACK into my classroom you might ask? Start simple. Using this diagram as a framework for your lessons, start by breaking it down; ask yourself what content do I want my students to understand? For example:

Content Knowledge: (What we teach) Geometry- I want my students to understand that all triangles are 180 degrees and that to find a missing angle in a triangle, I need to add up the angles that are given to me and subtract from 180, to find the third angle.

Pedagogy: (How we teach-delivery of content ) I have the students draw any type of triangle (right, cause, obtuse) on a piece of paper and cut it out. The students then label each angle #1, #2 and #3. I then have the students color each angle a different color to help them see visually as well. The students then tear apart the triangle where the three colors come together in the middle of the triangle. The students how have three pieces, each with a numbered angle to put along a 180 degree line, to show that all triangles are 180 degrees. From here I give examples of triangles with a missing angle and how we find it.

Technology: To add in technology, I could have the students create a ShowMe, Edu-creation or paper slide show on how to solve for a missing angle in a triangle and explain how they know. I could also have the students create a ‘how to’ solve for a missing angle in a triangle by having the students create a Screencastify video or Prezi or use the pic collage app demonstrating their content knowledge.
