Tech+Integration


 * //This assignment requires the use of technology in the classroom.//**

Use these sites or a search engine to find at least three lessons that you believe model good technology integration. This could be as simple as a PowerPoint presentation shared with the students or as involved as having students create their own webpage. Some sites you might want to check out: Ideas Wisconsin: http://www.ideas.wisconsin.edu/ Sites for Teacher: http://sitesforteachers.com/ Add these links to your Wiki Site with a brief explanation about what kind of lesson you found. The point of the assignment is to recognize the impact technology can have in your teaching.

1. http://www.ideas.wisconsin.edu/grade.cfm?startrow=11&glid=22 Subject: Social Studies Level: Grade 5 I found a site that contains images that can assist you in lesson planning and curriculum. The photograph that interested me is #4000 Steam Locomotive. This will be used to supplement the unit I have on Industrialization and the Railroad in the United States during the 1800 -1900.

2. http://trackstar.4teachers.org/trackstar/ts/themes/ss5-8/index_ss5.html Subject: Social Studies Level: 5-8 Three Branches of Government Students will use identify and explain the branches of government with an interactive program.
