Please review the attachments for expamples of lesson plans that effectively integrate technology into teaching and learning.

Cellular Structure and Function Unit

This unit was developed to further explore cellular organelles, to learn their structures and functions, and to learn more about scientists who discovered them. The group project serves two purposes. First of all, the students are using an online Web 2.0 #|presentation software to create their cellular organelle research project. Upon creation of the project, the groups are to post their presentation on the classroom wiki. The students are actually creating their study guide for the upcoming test. The individual project was developed to enhance the students' learning experience by incorporating "real-life" biology. The students will research a scientist and present the information required, again using a Web 2.0 presentation software, Each scientist has contributed to the study of cellular structure and function and/or the development of the cell theory.

Group Lesson Plan

Individual Lesson Plan

Steven Sawyer The unit I developed is a social studies unit that consists of students individually making their own short presidential campaign video. The unit also includes a group project that requires each four member groupt to produce a Prezi that describes the four main military contributors for the U.S. during WWII. Each lesson provides a scoring rubric that gives the students guidelines of what will be expected of each student. Each lesson also provides accommodations for physically disabled students.

====The lesson was design to enhance learning by using a Web 2.0 Tool. In the lesson, the students will be able to identify conditions that lead to thunderstorms, tornadoes, and hurricanes in their region. Students will research a weather phenomenon that has impacted their community or country. The students will use their findings to create a blog. In lesson 1, the students work in groups to gather ideas about the causes of weather. In lesson 2, each student will research a current weather phenomenon and report their findings.====

My lesson plans are for the science classroom. The group lesson unit is for a #|Biology class discussing mitosis, meiosis, or DNA. Students will work in assigned groups to create a glog for an assigned topic from the three previously listed. DNA can be broken up into more than one group given the class size. For my individual unit, students create an individual glog on one aspect of the Electromagnetic Spectrum. Students will have their individual pages that will together with the rest of the class make up the parts of the spectrum.

Keonn Nettles The following lessons where designed to use Web 2.0 technology to engage students in a fun way by using today's technologies. The first lesson which is a group lesson is a hands-on student lead activity. Each individual group is responsible for researching their assigned African tribe and populating the needed content to cover the lesson’s objectives. Facebook will be utilized with group created pages with teacher access. Students can communicate with group members as well as the teacher through this page. Students will then create a Prezi presentation to present their findings to the class. The next lesson which is an individual activity, each individual student is responsible for researching their assigned sport and populating the needed content to cover the lesson’s objectives. Edcanvas will be used to collect data and plan for their project. Glogster will be used to actually present the information to the class.

Benjamin McDaniel The following lesson plans are designed for my #|anatomy class. The unit focuses on the skeletal system. Students will work in assigned groups to create a Prezi on a particular disorder of the skeletal system. In addition, the students will work individually to create a blabber on a chosen bone. Students will present information and will receive their grade based on a rubric.



Tara Howell:

The following lesson plan unit is developed to further research the characteristics of animals and their behaviors that relate to the environment which they live. This unit is created on a 4th grade level and corresponds to the Alabama Course of Study by addressing multiple standards. Students are expected to be able to relate animal characteristics and their behavior to the environment, associate animal body structure and behavior to unique growth and survival functions, and explore living and nonliving things that affect animals in their environment. Within this unit plan, there are lessons that incorporate cooperative group research activities, individual assignments, and the use a Web 2.0 software, Glogster. This software can be used to creatively design and display e-posters online to display research findings for classmates, teachers, and parents. Not only does this lesson incorporate technology and science but correlates with the language arts by incorporating a book that can be read in class. Please explore this unit plan and enjoy because the students will!

Christi George

My lesson plans are intended for middle school students (grades 6 - 8) in an introductory computer course. These lessons can be used in conjunction with Earth Science lessons on natural disasters. The group project would allow students to gain knowledge on general natural disasters (ex. snowstorm, hurricane, tornado, flood) while the individual project would delve into a specific natural disasters (ex. Hurricane Camille). Using TechSmith's Camtasia and SnagIt software, PowerPoint, and YouTube will give students ample opportunity to be exposed to Web 2.0 resources.



Jerome Franks My lessons are designed to integrate physical education with basic anatomy. Under the group lesson, the students are required to create a brief presentation on various factors that will affect physical activities. In the individual lesson, students will begin to analyze how the muscles of the body work. A special emphasis is placed on the types of muscles, muscle movements, and muscular disease and disorders. These lessons would be best used in a classroom for students in the 9th-12th grades. In the group lesson, the students are asked to use Concept Mapping to organize their information before placing the information into a Powerpoint presentation. In the individual lesson, students are asked to use Concept Mapping to organize information and then the information is embedded into a class Wiki page for review. The students will be graded using the attached Rubric for each lesson.

The assignment was how technology is related to physical education. For the group project students had to demonstrate their knowledge for physical fitness in their video and song that they created in class. The students’ presentation will be assessed on the pictures that they chose for their video, their song, and their demonstration of physical fitness. For the group assignment students will have to create a video, skit, or commercial about any health topic approved by me.
