Dr. Christie's Presentation
Dr. Christie's 7C Model

To what extent does an app or instructional strategy allow students and teachers to:

    • Create (write, draw, make movies, make music, etc.);
    • Connect (reach out and connect with others locally or globally, F2F or virtually);
    • Communicate (talk with others, share ideas, publicize creations, etc.);
    • Collaborate (work, write, draw, brainstorm with others);
    • Contextualize (view from a more global context, relate one idea with another, relate one content area with another, see interrelationships);
    • Critique (think critically about issues or ideas; evaluate relevance, reliability, credibility, authority, or accuracy); and
    • Choose (topic, tool, process).
