Year+2


 * Please Note: This is a work in progress. **

**Essential Question**

 * How do I incorporate what I've learned about 21st Century skills and digital tools into my teaching?**
 * How do I create a tradigital classroom, balancing proven traditional srategies with digital tools?
 * How do I modify existing lessons to incorporate NETS for Students?
 * How do I use Backward Design Theory to design lessons that teach frameworks and incorporate 21st Century skills?
 * How can I use the power of Batesville's 21clc to collaborate with colleagues to design, review, critique, and improve my lessons and assessments?

21clc Year Two Goals

 * 1) Complete the **second 11 things** of __21 Things__, (online hands-on lessons, each focusing on designing a lesson/activity using a particular digital tool), chronicling your personal learning journey on your blog.
 * 2) Participate in a book study: Reinventing Project-Based Learning: Your Field Guide to Real-World Projects in the Digital Age (Suzie Boss & Jane Krauss).
 * 3) Collaborate with team members to design two peer-reviewed lessons, and document and reflect on your implementation of those lessons on your blog. This work will compliment our work with the Buck Institute on Project-Based Learning.
 * 4) Complete two peer observations of a colleague in action in the classroom.

Year Two Meetings: 21 hours Professional Development

 * 1) Meet two (2) days in summer (12 hours professional development). ** 2010-2011 meeting dates are July 26-27 at BHS Room 19 (Mrs. Huff's room). **
 * 2) Meet once a month (excluding August) after school from 3:30 to 4:30 (9 hours professional development).

**Application**
To continue to Year Two, please complete the application below. If you are in the Tradigital group (laptops issued January 2010), you will not continue with a 21clc team (unless you want to) but will work solely with the Tradigital group.

Thanks to the following people, whose work and ideas have helped me create this page:**
 * [|Kevin Honeycutt]: I've borrowed his term //tradigital.// To my knowledge, Honeycutt is the first to use this term.
 * Backward Design Theory: Though I've used multiple sources to inform my understanding of //Backward Design Theory//, I especially, like this paper by McTigue, Wiggins, & Seif, which states six key tenets that ground //Backward Design.// Vanderbilt's Center for Teaching also gives a nice overview of the process.
