Hello and welcome to the workshop. In this session you will work with a team to develop a student-centered learning unit based on one of the learning strategies: case-based learning, inquiry-based learning, project-based learning or resource-based learning.

In a team you will:

1. Design a deeper learning lesson or unit

2. Design an assessment

3. Select technologies to support the lesson or unit

4. Develop and post a short video to explain the design

The Issue

In a team setting, design and develop a student-centered learning lesson or unit with deeper learning concepts that is appropriate for your setting.

What to do:

1. Grab your team.

2. Brainstorm a topic/interdisciplinary unit for study.

3. Brainstorm the end goal- what do you want students to know and be able to do; Design the Assessment. Write the learning objectives from the assessment.

4. Use the learning based information (from presentation and on the Google Site (and beyond) to design a lesson that leads to your goal. (Design=Outline the unit/topic to be studied. Develop the guiding ideas; List the day-by-day activities and expectations. This is not to be a finished or polished product.)

5. Select potential technologies (see the Mega List) students can utilize.

6. Develop a short video (PowToon, smartphone video, etc.) to explain your concept.

7. Post the ‘video’ (to get feedback on the idea).

8. Post the link on Twitter with the conference hashtag.
