to click and explore. In addition to the
links embedded throughout the
workshop guide, the last section of this
guide is a comprehensive resource list
for you to explore and use in your
classroom. If at any point you are
unsure of how to use this guide, or you
are experiencing technical difficulties, please let a facilitator
know.

How Tech-Savvy is Your Teaching?

Using your laptop, take this short
quiz to self-assess how tech-savvy
you are. If the link above is not

Professional Objectives
Todays workshop is designed to help teachers understand how
and why to incorporate technology throughout the school
curriculum. We will use the International Society for Technology in
Education (ISTE) Teacher Standards to ground our work today,
focusing on Standards 2 and 3. For more information about ISTE
and additional resources, visit their website at www.iste.org.

resources to maximize content learning in context andto develop the
knowledge, skills, and attitudes identified in the ISTE Standards for
Students.

progress

students diverse learning styles, working strategies, and
abilities using digital tools and resources

Standard 2: Design and develop digital age

learning experiences and assessments.
Model Activity: After viewing the exemplar, discuss the
questions below with your table group to share out with our whole
group.
How did this exemplar meet the components of the standard on
the previous page?

How do you think students would react to or benefit from this type
of instruction?

What other questions or ideas do you have?

Table Work: Using the ISTE Standard 2 Model and the resources
page, develop a lesson that would incorporate digital age learning
experiences and assessments. Identify a CCSS that you will teach
in the coming month and specific resources that you could use to
teach and assess that objective.

learning
Model Activity: After viewing this example of a class website,
discuss the questions below with your table group. Take a few
minutes to explore the website for yourselves and look for other
examples of ISTE Standard 3.
How did this exemplar meet the components of the standard on
the previous page?

How do you think students would react to or benefit from this type
of instruction?

Are there any other parts of the website that exemplify ISTE
Standard 3, beyond those discussed in the model?

Get Started: Using your laptop, the ISTE Standard 3 Model, and
the resources page, further develop the lesson that you discussed
with your table. Remember that this lesson should address a
specific CCSS objective. You should use this time to design at
least one digital age learning or assessment tool for this
objective, which you can show your table and share out with our
group.
