It’s been a great year. We have all grown and developed our practices. Please help us develop ours more – what things did you enjoy about the grant process as a whole? What for you personally was beneficial in being part of this group of educators? What could have been done to improve the delivery, instruction and support you received? We value your comments-this is our formative assessment. Have a great summer!
Post-test Results
April 21st, 2010 by sdstat21 · 39 Comments · Technology Reflections
Most of you should have finished or be wrapping up your projects at this point. When you compare your pre/post test results what do you see? What will you repeat next year? What would you have done differently?
Learning Styles
March 15th, 2010 by sdstat21 · 41 Comments · Technology Reflections
During this year, we have met face to face, virtually, communicated through email, and some of you have even picked up the phone and communicated the old fashioned way. We all have preferred learning modes. What have you found personally to be the best method for learning new technologies? How does this compare to the ways in which your students learn (subject matter and technology)?
Formative Assessment- How Are You Doing on YOUR Project?
February 18th, 2010 by sdstat21 · 40 Comments · Technology Reflections
At the beginning of the year, we blogged about our goals for our classroom and for our growth through STAT21. Now that we’ve passed the half-way point in our school year, its time for a little self-assessment: Are you on track to reach your goal? What should you be doing differently or more consistently? What can your coaches and colleagues do to help? Share your reflections!

Professional Learning Communities
January 15th, 2010 by sdstat21 · 38 Comments · Technology Reflections
As a member of the STAT21 grant, each of you have received subscriptions to Edutopia magazine. In the latest issue, there is an article about professional learning communities. The 09-10 Participants page of the STAT21 wiki was created so that you may access each others wikispaces and share information in an online professional learning community in addition to attending the face to face classes. After reading the article and reflecting on what your experience has been in the STAT21 program so far, please write about your experiences with PLCs both in your school and in STAT21. (If you cannot locate your hardcopy of Edutopia, click here to read the article online).
Technology Integration
December 17th, 2009 by sdstat21 · 39 Comments · Technology Reflections
Please take a moment to reflect on the three workshops that you have taken. What ideas have you gained from the classes and from other participants for integrating technology into your classroom? Is there a technology tool that you would like to learn more about?
What hardware, software and support will you need to integrate technology into your lesson plan/project? What do you foresee as your biggest hurdle?
The Holidays are right around the corner…
November 19th, 2009 by tomarkids · 40 Comments · Technology Reflections
How might you use the Holidays as a topic to boost student awareness of 21st Century Themes- global awareness, civic awareness, health literacy, financial and entrepreneurial literacy? On the other hand, how can you use your new found 21st Century Skills to make your holiday season easier?
Data Driven Instruction
October 14th, 2009 by tomarkids · 36 Comments · Technology Reflections
Most of you have had a chance to look at your standards and your eMetric data. When you looked at your eMetric data, what were some surprises? Were the standards that you thought would be low/high consistent with the emetric data? Please let us know what you learned in the process of examining your data.
