The presenters—educators at a public elementary school in Michigan—will explore with participants the way their students are learning how to participate respectfully in a global technological community and at the same time capture their academic thinking in a visible way. Participants will see demonstrations of how technology can make representations of thinking and learning visible and how it can increase learning. Having aligned their curriculum and assessments to the Common Core and embedded thinking routines into all classrooms, the presenters will show how they document and assess student and teacher learning in order to further their own learning. They also will share how teachers work collaboratively; how they collaborate with students to use data to drive instruction; how they work with the community to extend the culture of learning; and how they collaborate with families through digital home/school connection. Ultimately, these examples will show how the school is helping to make all of its stakeholders’ thinking and learning visible through multiple, effective and collaborative endeavors, in a variety of contexts.
Intended Audience: Elementary K-6, Central Office, Elementary Principals
