Scaled down version of this...Secondary Principals

Training is centered on a teaching change, not how to use a tool

I. What do you want your students to do?
 * 1) Examples of this in a math classroom (AP Stat classroom: http://statknowledge.wikispaces.com)
 * 2) Complete this form: Going Paperless

II. Student-centered classroom
 * 1) 5-10 minute mini-lesson, then get them doing something!!!!
 * 2) Goal: I want each student to create something that is unique
 * 3) While they are working, I want to have a conversation with each one about what they're working on

III. Example: CEO's and Sample Means Activity 1. Collect data on CEO salaries from the CEO Pay Database 2. Refer to class lesson plan on his AP Stat **Wiki** 3. Show the Google Form and the live data collection 4. Tools used heavily in this Classroom
 * "Randomly" sample CEOs and calculate the average salary
 * Get 1 sample of each size
 * Sample of size 2, 5, 10, and 26(one from each letter of the alphabet)
 * Compile responses via CEO Salary Form
 * Display each distribution in Fathom
 * Dotplots for each distribution
 * Observations about each distribution: shape, center, spread
 * The Class Wiki - an online textbook being created as students progress through the course
 * Google Documents - project creation, assessment sharing, "note"-taking
 * What's an assessment? Where's the teacher desk? What's a typical class look like?

IV. What else can kids create? An online textbook for everyone Blogging Fakebook Twister Wiki's Google Docs (North Penn has their own private version of Google Docs) Animoto Prezi (show example) A movie! (digital story)
