Welcome to the Decatur ISD Jump Journal, the online reflection component of our "jump" forward in Technology. This Blog has been designed as an online tool to allow teachers participating in the program to reflect on their activities.

The photography lesson was a high loti level. It got the students involved in researching on the computer, producing a product and presenting it to an audience.
The presentation from the "other" group(Rann/Carson) showed the four parts of the technology TEKS the clearest. All presentations showed a higher LoTI level than what we came in with.
I think that the Solving Problems and Communications strands of the Tech TEKS are very important when considering the overall Loti level of an assignment. Giving students the opportunity and responsibility for solving their own problems AND choosing the right technology tools bumps up the level. I know I am biased, but that is truly what I feel our group's focus was, so I vote for us :-)
I am feeling a bit overwhelmed with all this new information, but much more "in the know" than before. I am excited to put these things in the students hands as a means of motivating them and to help them evaluate and analyze their own performance.
I also meant to say that I thought each group did a great job and that ALL of the groups presented ideas with Loti levels over 3...
I think that the highest LoTi level was the 6th grade LA presentation. Mrs. Britt had a wonderful idea of making "movie trailers" for books the children have read. It was great that she had already worked up the rubric she will use to evaluate the presentation as well.
I want personally thank Troy, Teela and Dwayne for the opportunity to attend this project. All of the teachers at DIS were wonderful and gracious hostesses. Thanks!!!
One of the presentations that had a high LOTI level was the one that had the students make a brochure, using research, etc. for a pet rescue center. This was a high LOTI level because it involved using technology and sharing outside the classroom/school to the "world".
There were several that developed technological products which provided sharing aspects making them higher LoTI levels.
I thought all the presentations were great...The photography presentation had the highest LoTi Level I believe. It covered more Teks and more technology applications....
The photography lesson depicted a high LoTi level with research, student creation of product and editiing as well as sharing with an audience. Teela's story of the Watagua class was also very impressive at a high LoTi level, as well as sharing just how far our student's use of technology can take them. I do have to add that
several groups this afternoon had high LoTi levels--especially the groups that had a "sharing" aspect of student products, such as a podcast on our DIS website!
The G/T photography lesson probably showed the highest loti level but all presentations showed high loti levels and great possibilities with a little tweeking.
I agree with Jan. I thought giving the students different options for their final product gave this lesson the extra for making it the highest level.
I enjoyed all the presentations and each one gave me new ideas and items to use with my students. I think we have all stepped up our technology abilities this week. I think having the students creating a product to share with people outside the walls of our school is extremely high LoTI level.
The introduction to the school was a great way to get the students involved the first day!!!! It will set the standard for the school year. I think the students may not see the benefit at first, however with all that we are planning they should quickly get there. I think that we have a way to go before we are comfortable with this, but WOW what a ride.
I think the use of photography either still pictures ofr video and then posting it on our web page was the best. level5
I believe the brochure was a high loti level. The students had to gather information and then use that information to present to a larger audience for an intended purpose. They had to incorporate many different forms of technology to produce the brochure.
Denda's brochure was high because it was technology with critical thinking. There were so many of them. I thought everyone did great!
The movie trailer was a great idea.
I don't really want to have just one!
THEY WERE ALL GREAT!
There were several that seemed to have a high LOTI level- the 6th grade LA trailer idea, the brochure about pet care, the photography unit, & also the social studies presentation.
They were all creating something to be seen by a wider audience. Everyone had great ideas!!
I think all presentations were great! The photography presentation was in my opinion a high level, also the LA presentation involving the trailer of the book they read! Possibly a 4 or 5?
Several of the presentations were high Loti levels. The one that sticks out in my mind is the 1st day of school survey. When the students are allowed to start the first day of school with all that technology integration and the products are put on the DIS website for parents/community to view I can only imagine the excitement in the homes of these DIS students! In addition,5th graders are going to be neverous about coming to a new school. I feel it will make the children comfortable in their new environment. They will be motivated, excited, and ready to come back the next day. Way to go !!!!
All the presentations were wonderful. I think everyone got a lot of valuable information to use in their classrooms. I felt the last idea Teela shared about the travel brochere had a high loti level because of it the outside audience it attracted.
I thought the movie trailer presentation was a great idea. It was a very creative way to integrate lang arts with technology. Its LoTi level would be high b/c you are creating a production using technology to share to other students and possibly outside the classroom.
Everyone did a wonderful job! This has been an excellent workshop. I have learned so much and can't wait to see how excited the kids are as we bring in more technology into the classroom! Teela, Tamp and Troy thanks for the wonderful camera and flash drive. I plan to use them all the time.
I think all the ideas presented were a very high loti level. The brochure idea, the acting out chapters of the books, the pic gallery and the STOMP (I want to do this one). Thanks to the three T's for the food, the wonderful camera, flash drive, other door prizes and most of all for this fantastic workshop with fantastic speakers! Can't wait for the next one.
