When thinking about software, it's helpful to think about the distinctions between four different types.발음듣기
대기중
First we have whole course software, next we think of supplemental software that supports a core course.발음듣기
대기중
When we think about whole course software, we're talking about the software that can replace an existing course.발음듣기
대기중
And the teacher's job is to check in on student progress, monitor things but the majority of the learning is via the software.발음듣기
대기중
So this is the sort of software that we're seeing in a lot of flex-like programs around the country, from Carpe Diem, from its schools in Arizona and Indianapolis to a lot of the dropout recovery schools and alternative schools that are popping up in school districts across the nation.발음듣기
대기중
And some of the big companies in the space that we see schools using are folks like Apex Learning, Edgenuity, K12.com to name a couple.발음듣기
대기중
The teacher's job isn't to pick resources and align everything and make sure everything's perfect, you hand a lot of the work over to the software.발음듣기
대기중
And of course the downside is it may not be as perfect as if the teachers actually curated and found everything on their own.발음듣기
대기중
So a little easier to use and maybe a little less personalized for each student what they need.발음듣기
대기중
Supplemental software is that which really supports the core course but it's not delivering the core instruction per se.발음듣기
대기중
The teacher is still designing that experience or delivering lessons in certain aspects and so forth.발음듣기
대기중
So, think about our KIPP LA example where they use a lot of supplemental software such as ST Math and the teacher is still delivering core lectures, helping to group students and deliver interventions, and then students are going off to the online software to do various supplemental activities at various points.발음듣기
대기중
And ST Math along with Dreambox are two of the titles we've seen in a lot of the schools that we visited in this elementary and middle school for the topic of math.발음듣기
대기중
Students can start with sort of number sense back in kindergarten and go all the way through more complicated algebra for middle school.발음듣기
대기중
And each topic that a student gets is just a little bit harder than the topic beforehand and kids are getting a lot of practice.발음듣기
대기중
So it's just this very iterative intuitive way of students to learn and it doesn't rely on them having to read anything, very self-directed in their own learning process.발음듣기
대기중
And Dreambox uses a game-based engine for a lot of its content but it's actually adaptive and that's the real key part of it which is that it delivers problems to students that are generally just at their level.발음듣기
대기중
And if they miss something it will level down and give them something easier or if they need more challenging problems based on their performance, they'll serve up harder and harder problems over time.발음듣기
대기중
The third supplemental resource that a lot of people use and are familiar with is the Khan Academy.발음듣기
대기중
Now, the Khan Academy has gotten a legendary following for its videos on an impressive array of topics that started with math.발음듣기
대기중
But actually what we find most impressive about Khan Academy has nothing to do with its videos but this infinite set of practice problems that the Khan Academy provides, that allows students to continually practice and practice to actually show and demonstrate mastery and then dive back into concepts that they're still not getting something.발음듣기
대기중
So, the Khan Academy is also a free resource which is why we see a lot of schools get their start into blended learning by demoing with Khan.발음듣기
대기중
You know, it makes sense that math is where so many people start because math has a relatively concrete set of steps that you're supposed to go to learn it and there's a discreet right and wrong answer.발음듣기
대기중
But even in the English Language Arts we're seeing a lot of new titles come that people are finding a lot of benefit from.발음듣기
대기중
There's a program that a lot of the schools we visited use called Achieve3000 which essentially takes current event topics and it writes the same article at different levels of reading comprehension for the text.발음듣기
대기중
So the whole class can be engaging in interesting learning and conversations together but students are reading at their just right reading level and then that can grow with them as their reading levels improve.발음듣기
대기중
In Accelerated Reader, schools create libraries of leveled content at different Lexile levels of different books.발음듣기
대기중
And then basically what happens is that students read those different books at their appropriate level.발음듣기
대기중
After they've read the books they take quizzes on Accelerated Reader where then they get the data input into the system where teachers can check to make sure that students are actually comprehending what they're reading and that they're at the right level.발음듣기
대기중
From there then, basically what Accelerated Reader does is create a really cool virtual bookshelf.발음듣기
대기중
It sort of looks like your books on iTunes where students can keep track of all the books that they've read and Accelerated Reader also keeps track of all the words that students are reading as well.발음듣기
대기중
When I was at navigator schools, a student was showing me her Accelerated Reader bookshelf and she was, you know, with pride showing me the books, and I said, "Wow! You've read all those books this year?"발음듣기
대기중
And then she scrolled down and showed me this incredible bookshelf of titles that she had read.발음듣기
대기중
All right, the act of just reading a book is arguably probably the most important part of the learning process we would imagine in schools.발음듣기
대기중
But the combination of a nice piece of software to ensure comprehension and that they give the teacher data, and maybe motivate kids a little bit makes it work so much more compellingly.발음듣기
대기중
So we're seeing companies popup like Gobstopper and Light Sail that are essentially trying to be the ebook for a lot of schools.발음듣기
대기중
And what they're doing is taking these books and putting them into a digital format, and then providing some intelligence around it.발음듣기
대기중
So the opportunity for teachers to embed videos or quizzes, just little notes to say, "Hey, did you pick up on this little passage?발음듣기
대기중
So we're talking about teacher productivity tools meaning things that make teacher's lives easier, help you run the school better or help the basic administration in a school.발음듣기
대기중
And there are just too many of these to cover in detail but we just want to give you a taste of a couple of the ways in which people are thinking about using technology to do things that used to be done manually either better or more quickly for teachers.발음듣기
대기중
So one example is Edmodo which is a communications platform that a lot of teachers around the world actually are using to communicate with students and parents in a safe environment.발음듣기
대기중
Post articles and other content on the platform so people can access them and use them in a variety of creative ways.발음듣기
대기중
Another example is a company called Class Dojo that's really working on a student behavior system where they can give merits and demerit points for the kind of behavior as a student teacher wants more of or less of of the students.발음듣기
대기중
And the kids get to keep track of their own data and they do it via these cute little monster avatars that they each get to have.발음듣기
대기중
We mentioned Exit Ticket earlier but basically in this tool, teachers can ask questions of students to check for understanding, and student respond via whatever digital devices at their disposal.발음듣기
대기중
And then teachers get a resulting poll map that basically allows them to see how their class is understanding what they're going over.발음듣기
대기중
There's also an important piece of software which would be the Learning Management System or what we would call the LMS.발음듣기
대기중
And this is really where schools and teachers are putting the assignments, keeping track of the videos that they've recorded, storing student's grades.발음듣기
대기중
Now, this is a huge area with lots of players so it would be too complex to just give you a comprehensive list.발음듣기
대기중
But just to give you a flavor for what these look like, we're seeing companies like Blackboard, Modo which is an open source version of it.발음듣기
대기중
We have Instructure with their canvas system and even Edmodo in many classrooms is serving the purpose of an LMS.발음듣기
대기중
And having a good LMS makes it so that schools don't just have to collect all these resources and send them via e-mail or have a big Google Doc.발음듣기
대기중
And the big difference here is really about how much time and for how long of a period of time these are being used in a classroom setting.발음듣기
대기중
So an app might show up for a couple students when needed or for this particular little unit where something like Dreambox or ST Math, you see that being used by the majority of the students for the length of the year.발음듣기
