Multimedia+Resources

2.01 Practice and refine knowledge and skills in keyboarding/word processing/desktop publishing, spreadsheets, databases, multimedia, and telecommunications in preparing classroom assignments and projects. ||  || The Notebook Lessons available can be used for whole group instruction and for small group instruction. When used with a whole class, individual students can take turns manipulating the SmartBoard. When working in small groups, students can be rotated through "stations" including a SmartBoard station utilizing the SmartBoard lesson. || The main problem here would be access to a SmartBoard. The [|Notebook Software] for the SmartBoard comes with the SmartBoard, but may need to be downloaded or updated on individual classroom computers. Students can also be timid about manipulating the SmartBoard, but this typically goes away with use. || 3.01 Select and use appropriate technologies to prepare for the workplace. ||  || Content can be used to enhance whole class instruction by embedding content into a [|prezi] or PPT presentation. Video and audio can also be used to supplement whole class discussion. Content can also be organized into the folders on the site for use by student groups in project-based learning or [|inquiry activity]. ||  ||

 *  ﻿ Digital Citizenship Means Responsible Use   []  || 1.01 Practice Safe, responsible, and ethical behavior in using technology resources and information. || Here's where you'll find resources and examples for classroom projects. || Technology access in the 21st Century has created an increasing demand to prepare our students to use that technology safely, legally, and ethically in our school systems as well as socially and eventually professionally. In this session students will explore the [|ISTE] [|Digital Equity Standards]. What do those standards mean and how can they be applied in the K-12 environment? Free online resources and lessons to teach to these standards will be shared. || There are many different pages of content on podcasting, proeject base learning and much more in order to direct students to the most appropriate and useful primary sources for meeting the NC SCOS objectives. ||

(I typically use my class wiki for posting the directions and rubrics for technology-based projects, therefore, I can link to schmoop and weebly from the directions). || <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 8.5pt; line-height: 18pt; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">I have encountered no problems with this site. It is clearly laid out and logical for students accustomed to using any textbook. The only issue is to make sure students are utilizing the parts of each unit that will best meet the needs of the instructional activity. Again, direct links to parts of the site are best for insuring success. ||

These images can be very effectively used as "bell ringers" at the beginning of a class to focus students on the standard or objective that will be the emphasis of a lesson or activity. The video can be used to stimulate engagement in topics and as starting points for assignments.
