Design and Implementation
At Manchester Memorial School in Manchester-by-the-sea, Massachusetts, sixth grade teacher Becky Baun developed a series of technology integrated units for her World Geography class. Her main activities in planning the units included the following:
-
Attending the Designing for Technology (DTI) professional development workshop
-
Identifying the continents her class would study during the course of the year
-
Identifying technology skills she wanted students to learn (e.g., software applications, internet research, formatting/layout)
-
Developing a unique technology project to accompany each unit -- one that would allow students to learn and demonstrate new technology skills as well as explore different strengths and academic learning strategies
-
Aligning technology components with state instructional technology standards
-
Aligning lesson plans with state social studies frameworks and the five themes of geography
-
Scheduling time to use computer lab and school laptops as well as have the librarian explain the research process to students
-
Introducing students to the units, providing technical assistance, and answering questions
