**Triad 5: PBI Instructional Plan** We presented our project on a Weebly... check out our site! [] **Compelling Question:** How do the new literacies help you dig deeper into culture?

**Purpose:** This is a professional development session for our staff at Jeffreys Grove Elementary School. We are beginning our first year as part of the Global Schools Network, and this staff development will provide teachers with training in the use of the new literacies as they implement a global focus in the North Carolina Standard Course of Study. **Teacher Objectives:** - Experience new digital resources for use in the classroom - Create a digital product using a new tool learned today - Take away resources for use in implementing global focus in the NCSCOS **Resources:** - [|www.voki.com] - [|www.xtranormal.com] - [|http://tagul.com] - [|www.linoit.com]

**Procedures:**
 * 1) Open the staff development through the use of a Voki to introduce the question/idea of what the new literacies are. Ask staff to respond to the question: What do you believe are the new literacies? Use [|www.linoit.com] to interact with responses through online stickies, and then discuss.
 * 2) Give an overview of the content of the New Literacies Institute.
 * 3) At this time, give an overview of how to use Voki and let staff explore on laptops.
 * 4) Moving forward, ask staff to discuss with a partner what they believe a global curriculum should include. Use a visual to show the idea of global learning through the new literacies by using the Tagul created with words we came up with based on ideas surrounding global learning. Use each word and it’s hyperlink to share global resources with staff.
 * 5) Demonstrate how Tagul is used to staff and give them the opportunity to explore.
 * 6) Show staff the Xtranormal video. Have them reflect on their ideas surrounding the New Literacies and their impact on instruction.
 * 7) Demonstrate how Xtranormal is used and give staff the opportunity to explore.
 * 8) Present staff with their assessment, “The Challenge,” in which each PLT group will receive a continent to represent using one of the new technology tools learned today. They have the freedom to decide how to go about this, and if they want to work as individuals, groups, or partners within their PLTs.
 * 9) Give staff time to work together on their projects.

**Assessment:** - W We will assess the staff’s understanding of the digital tools through observation of their work on the projects and their final product. There will be no “grade,” as this is for staff members. We only seek to see that they can use the tools. We will also offer ongoing support in the classroom as they seek to use these tools with students.

an example of what it is you want students to produce? Or, c) Did you you create two products that do both a) and b)? || We will be using Voki, Xtranormal, linoit, and Tagul all presented through a Weebly. All of these are integral to our instruction in that we are teaching our staff how to use them, and then giving them the opportunity to explore so that they feel comfortable using them with students. ||
 * **Guiding Questions for your Facilitating Your Project Based Inquiry Process**
 * and Developing Your two products of learning (i.e., instructional plan and technology product).** || **Describe learner outcomes, teacher actions, student actions, resources, materials, content, websites, videos, technology as appropriate.** ||
 * I. What is the compelling question you have regarding pedagogy? || How do the new literacies help you dig deeper into culture? ||
 * II. How are new literacies featured in your compelling question? || We utilze Voki, Xtranormal, Weebly, Tagul, and linoit to provide a staff development on the use of the New Literacies in implementing a Global focus in the curriculum. ||
 * III. How will you organize or group your students for the PBI? || Our staff will be in their PLTs. ||
 * IV. What prior knowledge do your students need to have to complete this PBI lesson? What lesson(s) would come before the PBI? || The staff will need to bring with them their prior knowledge of literacy instruction, and any technology skills they may possess. ||
 * V. How will you scaffold and support your students' gathering and analyzing of information? How will you monitor this process? || As the staff works on their challenge we will be moving around the room to offer support and to assess their needs. We have written, verbal, and visual instructions to support them as well while they work. ||
 * VI. How will you scaffold and support your students' creative synthesis of information in their PBI product? How will you monitor this process? || Staff had the opportunity to choose their digital tool and to explore their continent with it as they desired. We will be present to offer support and assistance as needed. ||
 * VII. What intellectual elements in students' PBI product will be evaluated. What forms of assessments will you use (e.g. rubrics, checklist, etc). || We are evaluating our staff's understanding and level of comfort with the digital tools we are presenting. We also want to ensure that they come away with a knowledge of what the New Literacies entail. ||
 * VIII. What is the technology product that will accompany your PBI Instructional Plan? Does it a) support your instruction well, and if so, how? Or, b) is it
