Use collaborative tools to expand students' authentic, real-world learning experiences by engaging virtually
with experts, teams and students, locally and globally.
4d
Demonstrate cultural competency when communicating with students, parents and colleagues and interact
with them as co-collaborators in student learning.
5b
Design authentic learning activities that align with content area standards and use digital tools and resources
to maximize active, deep learning.
6a
Foster a culture where students take ownership of their learning goals and outcomes in both independent
and group settings.
6c
Create learning opportunities that challenge students to use a design process and computational thinking to
innovate and solve problems.
7a
Provide alternative ways for students to demonstrate competency and reflect on their learning using
technology.
7b
Use technology to design and implement a variety of formative and summative assessments that
accommodate learner needs, provide timely feedback to students and inform instruction.
Describe how you would incorporate an Online Project/Collaboration Site/Publishing Opportunity in your
classroom:
I would incorporate the collaboration site Brilliant into my classroom. When teaching the unit on
transformations to my geometry class I would first have my students read the first paragraph that describes
the definitions of different translations. These transformations include rotations, reflections, and translations
on top of having the shapes show how they can be transformed on to one another. The students can then
work through the online collaboration site so that they can answer some of the questions with problems that
gradually get harder every question. I think it is important for our students to work through them self-paced
so that they can understand how to work through each question instead of just trying to keep on the same
pace as their peers.
The students can then submit their answers and the educators can look back at what each student says and
provide feedback for them. This feature also allows us as educators to see which students are still struggling
with the concept of transformations. Since I would use this as an introductory section to a lesson, this would
allow me to be able to see how much information I need to teach to our students and what all they already
know or what they can learn through the online collaboration site.
What technologies would be required to implement this proposed learning activity in a classroom?
The students must have access to the internet to implement this learning activity in the classroom. Since the
students need the internet, I would need to bring in either ipads or laptops or allow for us to be in the
computer lab.
Describe how the following features are addressed in this learning experience (note: all of them may not be
addressed in the project, but most should be if you are reaching a high LoTi Level).
a. Collaboration with peers, near-peers, mentors outside their classroom and often beyond their
school: The students will be able to collaborate with their peers when they go to submit an answer.

Online Projects, Collaboration Sites and Publishing Opportunities
The online collaboration site also allows you to read comments from people outside of the classroom
and the student can comment on what other people were saying about the topic.
b. Higher-order thinking: The students will use their higher order thinking when they are trying to look
through the examples that are given. The students will then try and learn the information on their own
since I will be using this lesson as an introduction to the geometric unit.
c. Students publishing their original work to others who will use/care about their product: The students
will be publishing their own original answers for others to see and can also post their own comments
about the individual questions and ask questions with other mentors or their peers can see and reply
on.
