The Design Cycle is the means of solving problems

What makes us wise and happy in fulfilling goals is not the achievement of the goal but the process

What are some examples of unit assessments where my students are using the Design Cycle?

CIVICS

Crime Unit: Mock trialLegislative Unit: Pass a law that pleases your constituents, party, or lobbying groupJudicial Unit: Determine the ruling for cases appealed to the Supreme Court

WORLD HISTORY

Africa Today: solutions to extreme povertyWorld War I: recreate the Versailles Treaty for a lasting peaceAge of Revolution: When is it right to fight?

To what extent can my assessments integrate with Technology as a

subject in MYP?

The Branches of Technology are:Information:

identify, access, evaluate, and acknowledge information

Materials: identify, combine, experiment with, shape and handle different types of material

Systems: recognize the parts of a system (input,processing and control, and output) as well as the crucial role each component plays as part of the whole; creating systems and solutions involving groups of interdependent items that interact to perform a task or serve a purpose

Technology1 of the 8 subjects of the MYP Curriculum

Its objectives are the design cycle

Each one of these is an assessment criteria that will have to be assessed at level 5 of MYP ????

Technology in MYP CurriculumRequires 50 hours each level of the MYPIssue: Scheduling

Solution: must ensure technology is integrated within all classes MYP students are registered for

Technology as an interdisciplinary study

Requirements:Document integration (in hours) in Unit Planners Consult Your Instructional Technologist (Ken & Marylou)Grade your students on your subject guide aims, objectives & criteriaEvery teacher of MYP must be familiar with the Technology Subject Guide

How you can do this?

Share your assessments with Marylou & KenCollaborate with them! (You must use them for these hours to count.)Implement Design Cycle terminology when instructing

Students’ Role

MYP Students must utilize the Design Folder

The folder is a compilation of evidence students accumulate as they follow the Design Cycle in completing their project or solve their problem

How are going to get this done?

1. Come to the Jump Start at Erwin in July1. Read the Technology Subject Guide 2. Implement its Technology aims &

objectives in your class

Why should we integrate the Technology Subject Guide in our teaching?You are already doing it!It addresses the ATL every time it’s implementedYou are focused on making meaningful assessmentsIt’s a requirement for MYPImplementing Technology across the curriculum is now required in the revised Colorado Standards for Public Schools
