- 11. Amplification • In 21st century classrooms, amplification brings learning from beyond the local. The world is at our fingertips. • Amplification happens when students no longer work in collaborative teams with peers who are sitting next to them in the same classroom. Their peers are citizens of the world, at home in different continents, in different time zones, and with different mother tongues.” – Tolisano, 2014

Editor's Notes
- #4: Jacobs (ed.), 2014. The following slides use materials and scenarios from this book.
- #6: Kim Jong Un
- #13: These links are on the Sakai page for week 2, class 2. Set up so that each TC in a table group can go online and view each initiative. They will explain it to the group and explain why it represents “amplification.”
- #14: In this activity each table group receives a different amplification scenario involving Language Arts. They will make specific connections to the LA curriculum. I want them to see that several important expectations can be addressed through these engaging activities. Also bring in curriculum integration, as some will also involve other subject areas. I will make the point that when we are talking about curriculum integration we need to think about the Language skills that can be addressed (e.g. developing a logical argument) rather than just superficial coverage (e.g. They will be writing something each day).
- #15: There are many resources available that provide lessons or units of study addressing important social issues. I will provide on Sakai page links to approximately 5 sources. For the most part, these sites deal with several social justice issues and TCs are to find a teaching tool in each that addresses the social issue they have chosen to explore. Could be done in various ways, depending on the time available: 1. Each table given a different issue and they post their resources (with brief explanation) to a forum; 2. Each person posts one resource separately; 3. Each table chooses one issue, divides up the sources of information, and reports to the table group what each person finds.
- #19: I will show them the Sakai page in Week 2, class 1 (thought we would cover it then) with many resources to support their creation of Learning Objects.
