 * 2011 TAAE Presentation Brainstorming Page **

This page is designed for brainstorming our ideas for our collaboration. In my experience in working with wiki for collaboration, it may be helpful for each person to choose a color when we edit or critique one another. It is also helpful to post a note and date after we have edited each other.

Lonestar 1 D-8 "iCLICK: Innovative Cyber Learning in Core Knowledge." Navarro High School, San Antonio ISD’s non-traditional, school of choice, embraces the motto: “Where Every Student Graduates.” To better reach 21st

century tech-savvy students, Navarro has collaborated to merge project-based learning with new technology. This radical navigation towards cyberlearning has promoted student acceleration, motivation, and college readiness. The session will cover: Introduction to Navarro; campus use of technology

applications such as Moodle and Wikis; cross-curricular applications & projects ; evidence of student success; and time for Q&A.

Based on our description, I believe we should stick to the x-curricular project-based applications to include Moodle and Wikis. We are already utilizing MOODLE and I think we should get a group of students to utilize the full potential of creating a Wiki for the purpose of having those students work on one project to encompass 2 or more subject areas. eleyva 11/19/10 Which students? Do you have any of the G-Force students? Miriam, Brittany, Pedro, Maria M., Olivia. I have all 4 of the girls 5th period, and I think they would be willing to participate in a cross-curricular project and/or wiki. But what do we want them to do with it? I do not have experience with wikis except what I am doing right now. J  For our presentation, we have that the session will cover: 1. Introduction to Navarro

2. Technology: (emphasis on) moodle, wikis 3. Cross-curricular application and projects 4. Evidence of student success Time for Q & A It would be nice if we can show either a video or actual student projects. Maybe even some of the teacher's moodles? PS 11/18
