Critical+Friends+Cross+Sharing+and+Debrief

During this session, teachers, Media Coordinators, and ITFs will share the lessons and/or PD experiences created in cross-curriculum groups. Groups will discuss the strengths and share areas for improvement for each experience. Each participant will leave equipped with rich feedback that will strengthen their lesson/PD. Participants will be responsible for incorporating suggested changes prior to teaching the lesson in the fall.

===** It has been a "tall order" to create complete lessons or PD experiences given the large amount of information and skills that you have gained, and the limited amount of time you had to develop your lesson or experience that you will be sharing today. //__There is no expectation that you will have a completed lesson or experience this morning- just share what you have and the ideas behind it!__// **===

~Critical Friends Cross Sharing and Debrief~
For this session, we will have the __teachers__ present first, __followed by the ITFs__.

Each participant will have roughly 4 minutes to show what they have developed and informally explain their lesson (Teachers) or PD plan (ITFs). This will allow for a couple of comments and questions.

Make sure to provide your:

1. name, 2. subject area or PD topic, 3. and finally, generally show us what your lesson or PD experience is all about!

~Thoughts About Cross Sharing~
As you are watching **__teachers__** present their work, consider these questions:

1. If I were a student, what would I enjoy about this technology infused lesson? Would it engage me and why? 2. What technologies are leveraged in this lesson- are they appropriate for the goals/objectives of the lesson? 3. Litmus test: Could this lesson have been facilitated by a teacher with the same effectiveness if technology had not been used? 4. What are your general thoughts for improvement of the lesson?

As you are watching __**ITFs**__ present their work, consider these questions:

1. As a teacher, would I find this PD experience engaging? Why or why not? 2. Are the goals of the PD experience supported by the general outline of the PD? 3. As a teacher, would I "walk away" from this experience with something I could use in my classroom? (Does it seem the ITF can model effective use of technology?) 4. What are your general thoughts for improvement of the experience?
