Day+4

=media type="custom" key="20583338"= = **Day 4: Linking Measurement and Data to a Rub and Reveal Activity ** =


 * Subjects ** :
 * 1) Measurement and data
 * 2) Indicators and objectives
 * 3) ActivInspire resources
 * 4) Rub and reveal activity


 * Prerequisite knowledge ** : Highlighter and pen tools; layering; locking objects in place; saving; page reset


 * Content ** : Participants will access their grade-level math indicators and objectives related to measurement and data. Participants will select one indicator and/or objective to explore for today’s session. Next, participants will be guided through ActivInspire’s resource library to analyze which resources can be used most effectively for teaching the chosen indicator and/or objective. The instructor will demonstrate how to use the rub and reveal technique in various formats, and participants will be given independent work time to practice this strategy and create a flipchart for their chosen indicator and/or objective using this particular interactive technique. Lastly, participants will blog about their learning to promote metacognition and reflective thinking about best practices using interactive features of ActivInspire. Participants will also post completed flipcharts to their blog to promote interactivity and valuable feedback among participants.


 * Objectives for this lesson ** : By the end of today’s training session, participants will be able to…
 * 1) …identify indicators and objectives related to measurement and data
 * 2) …identify resources within ActivInspire that can aide with instruction related to measurement and data
 * 3) …create a rub-and-reveal activity utilizing ActivInspire resources to promote effective instruction and learning in measurement and data
 * 4) …reflect on new insight related to use of ActivInspire for measurement and data


 * Lesson sequence ** :

8:00-8:10- Welcome and reminder of previous day’s learning; sharing of today’s objectives. 8:10-8:20- Time for accessing grade level indicators and objectives related to today’s math strand, measurement and data. 8:20- 8:45- Guided exploration of resource library for resources related to today’s math strand, followed by independent experimentation with the resources. 9:30-10:15- Demonstrations and guided practice with utilization of rub-and-reveal strategy, incorporating demonstrations of saving and page re-setting so that desired work is saved for future student use. The instructor will also demonstrate how to incorporate the magic eraser tool as another method of the rub-and-reveal strategy. The instructor will use screencasts of demonstrations for instructional purposes and share sample flipcharts incorporating the strategy. Participants will be encouraged to begin thinking about how to utilize the rub-and-reveal strategy for a specific indicator and/or objective selected earlier this morning. 10:15-10:30- Break 10:30- 11:30- Independent practice/ work on flipchart integrating interactive technique & resources with math objective. 11:30-11:50- Engage in reflective blog activity, explaining what was learned today and how the participant can use it back in the classroom when creating interactive flipcharts for instruction and student use. Post completed work from the day to the blog post. If time, visit other participants' blogs and provide feedback to them. 11:50- 12:00- Closure; review of the day’s lesson and preview of the next day’s lesson.


 * Additional materials and how the instructor will use them: **
 * Instructor-created or teacher-created flipcharts demonstrating the rub-and-reveal technique in various formats
 * Screencasts of instructor’s demonstrations saved onto workshop support wiki for future reference by workshop participants (Sample 1) (Sample 2)
 * Workshop support wiki for posting participant blog web addresses, Screencasts, and other directions
 * Directions for how to create a rub-and-reveal activity for participants to access
 * Blogger.com for participants’ reflective blogs to synthesize daily learning


 * Evaluation strategies ** :
 * Progress in use of interactive techniques will be assessed using a checklist and anecdotal records.
 * Blogs will be evaluated for degree of synthesis of learned techniques and application to teaching, based on rubric in syllabus.
 * Final flipchart will be evaluated for degree of effectiveness of use of interactive techniques utilized, based on rubric in syllabus.
