120312 Help for H.O.T. (Higher Order Thinking) Using Intels Free Online Tools Part 1 of 2
Tue., April 3 4:30-6:00 p.m. *District Technology Center 301 S. Main, Nixa Presenter: Janna Elfrink Participants will learn about the Intel tools; Visual Ranking, Seeing Reason and Showing Evidence, as they try each tool to become familiar with the capabilities and benefits for student learning. Participants will understand how to implement the tools as they practice with sample units that require higher order thinking. Then, they will apply what theyve learned by researching instructional strategies for each tool and will create a Teacher Workspace on the site to start a lesson using at least one of the tools. As time allows, we will explore other elements of Intels Teacher Intel site. Take a peek at the tools prior to the session at engage.intel.com .
