After 11 Tools: Reflections

Congratulations on filling up your toolbox with lots of great learning resources to use in your transformed 21st century classroom!

For your final 11 Tools post, answer these questions:

1. What are your favorite tools you now have in your personal technology toolbox? Briefly describe a particular activity that you will plan for your students using at least one of these new tools.
2. How have you transfomed your thinking about the learning that will take place in your classroom?
3. Were there any unexpected outcomes from this program that surprised you?

To finish up your credit:
Atomic Learning,which you have used for help in some of the "Tools", is a great resource for training in 21st Century Literacy Skills and can help you move forward with your understanding of 21st Century Literacy. It has numerous 21st century projects and skills learning opportunities.

To get yourself started, take the assigned self-assessment on 21st Century Skills. This assesment covers a broad variety of topics and skills that are necessary for 21st century literacy. It covers topics not included in 11 Tools and may challenge you. YOUR SCORE IS NOT IMPORTANT. For 11 Tools credit, you ONLY need to complete the ASSESSMENT - NOT the Pathway.
Log into Atomic Learning. You already have a subscription. You do not have pay anything! If you do not remember how to sign in, contact karen.justl@springbranchisd.com for the sign in information.

Once logged in, expand My Training to view Assessments.

Expand Assessments to view the 21st Century Skills Assessment – 11 Tools.
The assessment takes about 15 minutes. You can stop and resume if you are interrupted.
Upon completion, you will receive feedback on your areas of strength as well as a certificate. Additionally, Atomic Learning will develop a training pathway for you to strengthen areas of weakness and help you continue your learning. That pathway will appear in the Assigned Training section of your profile in Atomic Learning for you to return to and complete as you have time. Remember you can complete Atomic Learning trainings for Spring Branch professional development credit.

You’ll be happy to see the progress you’ve made on your path to 21st Century Literacy! !

  8. Hi All, I just went to Atomic Learning to take the 21st Century Teacher Assessment. You have to log into Atomic Learning. I had to send an E-mail to Atomic Learning to reset my password. I am waiting on a response. So, I'm assuming that I have to log into the site of Atomic Learning in order to take the assessment. Would that be correct? Or, Where do we log into?

    Thanks,
    Solana

  9. Hi All, I logged into Atomic Learning with my username and password which the district provided for me, and when you type in your user name and password and you log in, this other page will show up. It will say My Trainings, and you will see further below the word Assessments, you click on that and there are 40 questions to answer. that is your assessment.
    Good Luck!

  11. I completed the assessment and looked at the results but it still says that the assessment has not been started. Do you have to log out and back in to see that it has been completed?

  12. After I took the assessment, I went back and it looked like it hadn't been started, but I checked the box that said "Show Complete" and then it switched to show that I did finish the assessment. Hope this helps. :)

  22. Hi Belinda, teachers will receive a certificate of completion probably by next week. I spoke to Karen Justl and she is working on the certificates of completion of the 11 Tools. Hope that answers your question.
