=Cooperative Strategies= <span style="font-size: 67%; left: -6.6%; mso-special-format: bullet; msospecialformat: bullet; position: absolute;">• Collaborative Teaching - using wikis to integrate across disciplines (collaborative between students and teachers) <span style="font-size: 67%; left: -6.6%; mso-special-format: bullet; msospecialformat: bullet; position: absolute;">• Community Links <span style="font-size: 67%; left: -6.6%; mso-special-format: bullet; msospecialformat: bullet; position: absolute;">• - new notions of community --> online communities (facebook groups and other online networks and interactions) - contribute to wikipedia on a topic Conflict Resolution <span style="font-size: 67%; left: -6.6%; mso-special-format: bullet; msospecialformat: bullet; position: absolute;">• - breaking down geographical barriers to further understand cultures and people (webcams, videoconference, blogs) Discussion - student developed (teacher guided) assignment outlines and rubrics <span style="font-size: 67%; left: -6.6%; mso-special-format: bullet; msospecialformat: bullet; position: absolute;">• - discussion forums based on course related questions or discussion topics Interview <span style="font-size: 67%; left: -6.6%; mso-special-format: bullet; msospecialformat: bullet; position: absolute;">• - chain emails that allow for "viral" spread of interviews across space and time - video conferences and webcams Jigsaw - blog format (posting findings for others to read) - synthesis of expert groups findings (powerpoint, podcast) <span style="font-size: 67%; left: -6.6%; mso-special-format: bullet; msospecialformat: bullet; position: absolute;">• Literature Circles <span style="font-size: 67%; left: -6.6%; mso-special-format: bullet; msospecialformat: bullet; position: absolute;">• Mentoring <span style="font-size: 67%; left: -6.6%; mso-special-format: bullet; msospecialformat: bullet; position: absolute;">• Numbered Heads <span style="font-size: 67%; left: -6.6%; mso-special-format: bullet; msospecialformat: bullet; position: absolute;">• Peer Practice <span style="font-size: 67%; left: -6.6%; mso-special-format: bullet; msospecialformat: bullet; position: absolute;">• - video conferences and webcams Peer Teaching - video conferences and webcams Round Robin <span style="font-size: 67%; left: -6.6%; mso-special-format: bullet; msospecialformat: bullet; position: absolute;">• Round Table <span style="font-size: 67%; left: -6.6%; mso-special-format: bullet; msospecialformat: bullet; position: absolute;">• Think/Pair/Share

=Direct Instruction Strategies= • Advance Organizer - use graphic organizer software like SMART Ideas to brainstorm, to record what students already know, what they think they want to know or need to know to address a learning challenge (e.g. KWL chart) • Book Talks • Cloze • - thought bubble: need to consider needs of ESL learners with modified activities, limited English language skills will not preclude use of technology if the student has a prior knowledge of ICT apps in first language Conferencing • - use of online chat to make an apppointment for a virtual conference using online chat - can be done with peers or one-to-one with teacher - could also use bulletin board style discussion threads o Demonstration • - podcast, video, use of applications or tools. e.g. how to use SMART board, projector, slide show technology, tel (first class) Directed Reading–Thinking Activities - communicating a framework/context and purpose for the reading, demonstrating this with a "think-aloud" which could be delivered in classroom face-to-face or via video conference, video delivered over utube etc • Expository Text Frames • Flash Cards • Guest Speaker • - students seek out and contact "experts" via blogs, email, video conferencing to support material delivered, to introduce, to clarify, to reinforce and to make real life connections - teachers will obviously support this with connections which we are aware of but it would be ideal for students to be able to problem solve to find real life experts willing to engage with them Guided Exploration • Guided Reading • Guided Writing • Lecture • Making Words • Mnemonic Devices • Practice and Drill • Programmed Learning • Prompts • Read-Along • Read-Aloud • Reciprocal Teaching • - prior to working with a teacher or in a large class setting, students become experts in an ICT tool or application and "teach it" to a fellow student in the class, to test their understanding and the value of the instructional materials they are intending to use to teach with Review • - post all teaching materials in an online classroom forum (i.e. create an online presence for your class via class wiki, blog, via your school website) Seminar/Tutorial - podcast, video, slide show • Socratic Dialogue - wiki • Story Mapping • - storyboarding Storytelling • Task Cards • Textbook • - ebook, electronic resources from school library website or as selected by teacher, or materials found by students and compiled in an electronic format for all students to access, in accordance with copyright, intellectual property guidelines Visual Stimuli - video • Visualization • Word Cycle • Word Sort • Word Wall • Workbook/Worksheets
