= Learning Lab THREE: ExTReme Make-Overs w/ Transforming Uses of Technology =


 * Task:** Engage group brains to operate as a think tank for a learning task that increases the Headware not the Hardware using the concepts experienced today


 * Driving Question:** What does it look like to go from Good to GREAT learning tasks that bring rigor, curiosity, relevance and transforming uses of technology? Which of the ideas generated the MOST H.E.A.T. and why?


 * Tools Experience with Task:**
 * Google Survey Forms


 * Grouping Strategy** Each room will create together ONE transforming engagingly HOT performance task. Break the same room group into two smaller groups with even numbered (2 & 4) team pairs and odd numbered (1 & 3) team pairs working together to brainstorm ideas. Then merge BEST thinking from both groups together. This creates more air space for participation as well as an opportunity to have more ideas generated. Use any tools that might be useful or . . . no tools at all . . . just ol' fashion voices and note taking.


 * Directions** Each room will transform the common task of asking students for a written book report into ONE bestest and greatest group idea. Use the handout templates attached as a graphic organizer for planning - not literally filling it out but as a GUIDE ONLY. Design a general text description that will convey BEST idea for transforming the traditional TELL ABOUT summary report for books into a rigorous, relevant and engagingly HOT learning task that purposefully challenges students to think and understand deeply the meaning of the book. Consider not just incorporating technology tools but how technology can accelerate processes while allowing students to express meaning not possible without the tools.

 * SAMPLE Learning Performance Tasks w/ Technology Tooks (not a lesson plan) [[file:SAMPLE Student Performance Task.pdf]]


 * Sharing/Thinking** Each room will have a designated group recorder post their final inspiring transforming drafted idea to the Google Survey Form Page - see link below. All rooms ideas submitted will be reviewed asking participants to choose the idea with the MOST appealing and MOST H.E.A.T. developed and . . . . WHY! A comment column has been added to add reflections and additional HEAT if inspired!
