Graphic of: Student using learning software on tablet. Text: "By 2021, 100% of classrooms will be 1-to-1. But there is a shortage of deeply-digital curricula."

Teacher leaning in to help students understand how to use the tools on their tablets.

We also provide teachers with the tools to adapt (localize, individualize) curricula – to replace their disappearing textbooks and help them leverage their newly-minted 1-to-1 classrooms.
Poster about Digital Curricula. Text: "1-to-1 provides the digital devices but not the deeply-digital curricula. Deeply-digital curricula leverages resources uniquely enabled by the use of the computer in today's 1-to-1 classroom. Digitized curricula is not deeply-digital curricula. Deeply-digital curricula enables real-time, synchronous collaboration and interactive, experiential learning."

 

Poster about what lessons Deeply-Digital incorporate. Text: - Synchronous Real-Time Collaboration - Interactive Games and Simulations - AR/VR - Offline Learning Experiences and Online Lessons - Creating Multimedia Documents, Concept Maps, KWL Charts and Spreadsheets - Creating Animations, Drawings, and Videos Some additional graphics include Kahoot!, Badgr, Next Generation Science Standards, Collabrify Roadmap Center, Collabrify Flipbook, Engage ny.

 

An illustration of a teacher thinking about limited time, shown by a thought bubble with a crossed-out clock. Below, books transition to a laptop via an orange arrow, symbolizing a shift to digital teaching. Text: "Teachers do not have the time to develop deeply-digital curricula while teaching and managing their classrooms."

Without deeply-digital curricula, 1-to-1 classrooms fall short of their learning potential.
A graphic showcasing hexagons with descriptors like "Interactive," "Adaptable," "Collaborative," "Agile," "Device-Independent," "Graphical," "Constructive," "Resource Rich," "Self Directed," and "Browser-Based." On the right, text reads, "The UMCDC utilizes the Collabrify Roadmap Platform" with a subtitle, "The tool for enabling the digital transformation."

 

 Collabrify Roadmap Platform 

Illustration of a winding road with three key points highlighted by green circles. The text above the circles describes the features of Collabrify: 1) a device-independent 'roadmap' system for supporting deeply digital curriculum for 1-to-1 classrooms, 2) enabling synchronous collaboration between teachers and students without being in the same physical location, and 3) simplifying the creation of digital curricula by educators.

 

How We Help.

A visual process showing three steps: a group of people brainstorming with colorful thought bubbles, an arrow pointing to the word 'SUBMIT' written by a hand, and another arrow leading to a globe surrounded by interconnected people.

Using the Collabrify Roadmap Platform, educator teams create deeply-digital curricula.Educator teams then vet those “Roadmap” lessons/units.Quality resources are then made available on OER websites for open use!
