This is your chance to use
technological tools and resources to create exciting learning
activities for your students.
You will apply computers and
related technologies to support instruction in your grade level
and subject area.
You will plan and deliver an
instructional unit that integrates a variety of software,
applications, and learning tools.
Lessons developed must reflect
effective grouping and assessment strategies for diverse
populations. (adapted from Application
of Technology in Instruction.
ISTE standards for teachers)
For Example:
Have your students create a slide
show in KidPix about a unit they are studying like the AFRICA
slide show demonstrated in class.
Participate in a telecommunications
project with your students
Create a learning resource for your
students to use like Birds of Vermont.
Develop an electronic portfolio
demonstrating your ability to integrate technology into your
teaching.
Build a unit where students "ride
the Oregon Trail", determine budget's using spreadsheets, write
situation letters home, and design Conestoga Wagons using a
drawing program.
Publish period newspapers related
to a historic event. Have students research appropriate
information on the Internet, use drawing tools to make up
advertisements, and desktop publishing to layout and produce their
newspaper.
Design a Webquest or have your
students participate in one.
