VIRTUAL SESSION: Elluminate Classroom
Students have embraced a new type of education where they search for their own answers, synthesize information from many sources, and publish their own ideas. Learn how online learning and student created digital media can be used to transform a science class into an active learning community. Participants will practice the techniques needed to create an online learning environment for their science class.

1. Compare commonly taught science process skills with the list of 21st Century Skills proposed by the Partnership for 21st Century Skills and the ISTE NETS for Students .
Ways that Century 21 Skills Relate to the Ways weTeach Science:
Both Century 21 and the classroom Science Standards/Objectives want the students to be able to use the skills taught in the real world.
-Having students solve real world problems.
-Solving problems using high order thinking skills.
Wiki Uses:
Posting teacher notes
Class Newsletter/Calendar
Classroom Demonstrations, student projects, classroom resources linkks to simulations and or videos
2. Create a list of resources that can be utilized during a web 2.0 science lesson.
3. Participate in a science lesson in which technology is integrated as part of the class routine.
4. Analyze the effectiveness of a lesson using the H.E.A.T. rubric and propose revisions to move a lesson to a higher LoTi level .
Cathy asked me to post this on the wiki after our session this morning. I used this video to create a smartboard on any surface by using a Wii remote. Johnny Lee was a student at Carnegie Mellon who came up with this idea. The links at the bottom of the page give detailed descriptions on how to set-up the Wiimote and pair it with your computer by Bluetooth. Johnny Lee created the software for the Wiimote, which you can download from his link below.
You can make the pen out of an Expo marker here is a video to help and the shopping list of materials.
Here are some websites that provide resources for the Wii Whiteboard/Smartboard and its accessories.
Smoothboard software for Wii Whiteboard
I hope these resources can help. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
