WHAT MAKES AN EFFECTIVE AD?

I really like that this lesson has K-5 lesson plan options. It is a lesson about how to search non fiction text better for finding information during research lesson. It has a video on how you should be taking notes which is really nice since students usually don't know what they can get rid of in their notes and end up plagiarizing at times

This is a great lesson to use with elementary students to analyze text and meet Common Core standards. I liked that this lesson also uses Amelia Bedelia because you can then also discuss language and meaning and how her chores are always funny since she is literally doing what she hears.

The Technology Integration Matrix (TIM) illustrates how teachers can use technology to enhance learning for K-12 students. The TIM incorporates five interdependent characteristics of meaningful learning environments: active, constructive, goal directed (i.e., reflective), authentic, and collaborative (Jonassen, Howland, Moore, & Marra, 2003). The TIM associates five levels of technology integration (i.e., entry, adoption, adaptation, infusion, and transformation) with each of the five characteristics of meaningful learning environments. Together, the five levels of technology integration and the five characteristics of meaningful learning environments create a matrix of 25 cells as illustrated below.

Thank you for sharing this. I am going to pass this source along to others in my district. I think it will come in handy when it is time to write PDPs. Many teachers are writing PDP goals that incorporate more technology into the classroom. I think this will help them define their steps and create a plan. Thanks!

I found this interesting, however there were many broken links including the Dewey Decimal web quests.

I would share this with the fourth grade bilingual teachers. We co-teach an animal unit and videos are extremely helpful, especially for bilingual students. It is a lesson plan with video links that show animals in their natural habitats.

This lesson plan may be used at the high school level, students may pick a product and improve the product. This lesson is based on the popular show "Shark Tank."

This site from NASA and Design Squad offers activities, videos, lesson plans, and guides for engaging kids in hands-on engineering activities. There are several guides for running 6-week or 12-week clubs or after school events. I am always on the lookout for activities that promote design thinking that I can use for a maker event or as a creative warm-up for one of my clubs. Lots of good ideas here!
