Assignments for the Course

Course Web Page

Use the link on your name above to link to your wiki page that has been created for this course (or from a previous course that you have taken this summer).  On your wiki page, you should have:

• Links to the various assignments you create this week
• Links to websites for content specifically useful for you

 

PowerPoint/Excel/Inspiration

These three assignments are similar in nature.  Your goal is to come up with a lesson plan (or a lesson concept) for an assignment for students to complete.  The lesson for each of these three applications should have students use the software to increase/demonstrate their knowledge of subject matter.  In other words, they are using technology to better their knowledge of specific content material.  On your wiki page, you should post your lesson plan/concept as well as a link to your example of what you would expect the finished product to be.  That means you must follow your own directions and use PowerPoint, Excel, and Inspiration to create a file that you would expect from your students.

 

Virtual Technology

Use the web to find vitual technology/virtual tours that can be useful for your classroom.  Create links to these sites on your wiki page.  Find as many as you want, but I would expect a minimum of 3 to 5 sites.

 

WebQuest

Please create a link to your webquest that you create on your wiki.  I would strongly recommend the basic template from the webquest.org website.

You will be required to be part of 1 group presentation. Research and present information on a new trend in technology applicable to the K-12 classroom. Presentations should be at least 10 minutes in length and should include background information on your topic, a demonstration (if possible), and how people are or can incorporate the technology into a classroom setting. Research and present information on a new trend in technology applicable to the K-12 classroom. Presentations should be at least 10 minutes in length and should include background information on your topic, a demonstration (if possible), and how people are or can incorporate the technology into a classroom setting. Examples:
