Technology being used by Students/Learners

Lesson 1. Knowledge Building and Knowledge Expression

Plan your Week Seven Student Research Assignment as an engaging for students to use technology (T) to help them build their own content knowledge (CK), develop technology skills (T), and express their knowledge through a formative assessment. Use the SAMR model and the Padagogy Wheel to support pedagogical decisions (P). Use the SAMR model and the Padagogy Wheel to support pedagogical decisions (P).

There will be two separate assignment individua and group assignment for the class. The use of different technologies will be adapted in the class such as the use of information presentation software-PowerPoint as well as Blogs among others. The assignment will help the learners learn how to assess credible sources from fake sources over the internet. As well as the use of social media to share the blog links so as to get the information out to the public after the final topic project.

2. Student Generated Collaborative Project-Based Assignment

Knowledge Expression

Design a project-based lesson that allows students to be creative and hands-on with technology (T). The lesson should result in a student-generated project, presentation, publication, or performance using technology. Plan to create a rubric or list rubric criteria for grading. Students will demonstrate what they have learned (CK) by created a technology (T) generated final product or project. Use the SAMR model and the Padagogy Wheel to support pedagogical decisions (P). Use the SAMR model and the Padagogy Wheel to support pedagogical decisions (P).

The assignments have been designed in away the learners will have to become creative and learn how to integrate different technology aspect in their work so as to meet the topics requirements.

Day 1-2: Anticipatory Lesson Presentation

How do you get them interested?

(Introduction/Engagement/Discussion) Teacher Presentation and Student Discussion Questions

Start the class with the setting up of the required equipment then turn off the light and project a number of pictures got from the internet depicting the African Americans during the age of slavery. Let the students analyze this information then proceed with a brief introduction to the topic Which is the history of African Americans and the Jim crow laws. Ask a few questions for the students to discuss.

Main Topic of Presentation: Understanding the African American History and the Jim crow Laws and the integration of technology in the analysis of the context.

Key Subtopics: Use of different technological sources to gather the required information on the main subject.

Critical Thinking/Problem Solving Discussion Questions:

Questions

What do you know of the African Americans?

Is there any information in relation to this available in the internet and how can we implement the technology in the study of this subject area?

Let the students discus this and provide answers of what they understand.

This will have created a great deal of interest among the students and hence the application of their personal skills will be put into test.

Day 2-3: Student Research Assignment

Create a web scavenger hunt or Google form assignment to build content knowledge (CN) of the topic. Subject Matter Content Topic/Title:

The Jim Crow Laws find two images of the era and give a clear explanation of what is happening within the images and the death of Jim Crow. Site your sources and prepare a 5-slide presentation in PowerPoint for the assignment.

Grade Level:

Learning Objective: Complete the sentence below.

Learners will demonstrate their understanding of the African American History as well as the use of the internet to gather information and verifying the credibility of the sources as well as the use of different Programs in the presentation of the assignment by doing the assignment as per the instructions?

Common Core State Standard and/or Academic Content Standard: Type out one specific CCSS and/or one academic content standard met with this lesson. (http://www.cde.ca.gov/be/st/ss/index.asp).

Technology Standard for Students:

Students plan and employ effective research strategies to locate information and other resources for their intellectual or creative pursuit

SAMR Level: Explain your rationale.

Substitution

Gathering of information using the internet provides the same information which would have been gathered via the library or books.

Augmentation

The difference between the use of libraries and books from the internet is that the internet provides unlimited sources of this information as well as save more on time one takes in conducting these researched for the learners.

Modification

The application of tech completely redesigns the mode of this information presentation making it more presentable for instance the use of PowerPoint presentation program

Redefinition

Also, the use of tech allows the students in groups to form discussions in despite of their geographic locations by the use of things such as the emails as well as google share functions making them perform the tasks more effectively.

How will you assess student learning with this assignment?

The assessment will be based on the content the students provide this will show their ability in researching for the accurate data.

how will students use what they have learned to create their project-based lesson?

The students will have to present their work in a presentable manner and to achieve this they have to apply different skills and in the process, this will be the perfect assessment on the use of different information management and presentation programs such as the Power Point

Day 3-5: Student Project-Based Assignment using Technology

Essential Question or Challenging Problem:

Th main problem the students or the learners are to face is the identification of the credible sources from the fake sources. With the increase in the amount of information over the internet it has become much difficult to distinguish between fake information and the actual information which is credible.

Anticipatory Set

To get the students hooked in the project the use of documentaries which explain the history of African Americans which are available on YouTube will capture the attention of the students. From credible researched the brains of many learners tend to be more attracted to content learnt via viewing hence by this the students will get more connected to the project.
