Technology Integration Plan & Podcasts FRIT 8530 Julian Young

A Note from the Teacher: Prior to teaching this lesson, the teacher must sync the podcasts to the iPads. The easiest way to accomplish this is by using a computer that has iTunes. Simply create a playlist in iTunes and add all of the podcasts to that playlist. Then, sync the playlist to the iPads and you are finished. The videos will be located under the Videos icon on the iPads. You may also use these podcasts without the use of iPads. You could play the videos through the classroom projector or have students view them through the student PCs. If you dont have access to a video-out-dongle for the iPads and would like to display the students work through the projector, you could have the students use the Dropbox app on the iPads to upload the videos to a shared folder. The teacher could then access the videos through the network.

Materials Needed: 1) 25 iPads w/ built in 5) Video-out-dongle to connect iPads to camera projector 2) 25 headphones 6) Internet Connection 3) Projector 7) Rubric (attached) 4) PC with iTunes to sync videos to iPads Stage 3 Learning Plan Learning Activities: 1. Begin by discussing the different types of number systems (binary, hexadecimal, etc.) and how they work. Then ask the opening question Why do you think humans decided to use a base-ten number system? and discuss. H 2. Explain to the students what tasks and skills will be asked of them and introduce the essential questions. W 3. Have students view the place-value video (m4n1a.m4v) on their iPads using headphones. E 4. Review what is explained in the video and clear up any confusions the students may have. R 5. Quiz the students through the CPS pulse. These quizzes will be teacher made and will be made up on the spot. The CPS system will give instant feedback allowing the teacher to know exactly what percentage of the students understand a given skill. Quiz questions will be adjusted accordingly. E, T 6. Review previous material with students and open a discussion with the EQ In what instances might one need to write a number using a form other than standard form? R 7. Have students view the number form video (m4n1b.m4v) on their iPads using headphones. E 8. Review what is explained in the video and clear up any confusions the students may have. R 9. Give the students a standards-based multiple-choice test through CPS pulse (Coach Gold pg8-10) E 10.Review the answers to the quiz and clear up any confusions the students may have. R, E2 11.Allow students who passed the quiz with an 85% or higher to work with the various place-value websites on their iPads or on the student PCs. Work with the students who did not pass the quiz in a small group to reinforce the skills that were taught. T 12.Review the content that has been presented to the students to prepare them for the upcoming task. R 13.Hand out a rubric to the students and explain in detail the Place-Value Explanation task. E

14.Students may work in small groups or independently. Early finishers may work with the various place-value websites. R, E2, T 15.Using a video-out-dongle, connect the student iPads to the classroom projector and share the student made videos with the class. Have students evaluate their videos and the videos of others. R, E2, T

Stage 3 Learning Plan Monday 1. Hook students by explaining various number systems and discuss why humans settled on a base-ten system. H 2.
