TECHNOFIED LESSON PLAN:
TECHNOFIED LESSON PLAN
iT starts with a traditional lesson plan which is then re-created to be "technofied."
Both lesson plans will reflect the common core state standards. The traditional lesson plan will be evaluated using the SAMR model and the ISTE standards to see how it may be re-created in a classroom setting as part of the digital platform of learning geometry.While the traditional lesson uses teacher lecture, textbooks, and paper, pencils, the technofied lesson changes this to a diversified lesson, giving students more control of the learning process. Technology gives tools that augment and replace the traditional delivery in engaging ways.
The goal of the TECHNOFIED LESSON PLAN is to utilize the best available resources for digital learning and improve the student experience.

Four Google SLIDES Shows - Exploring Image-ination

Here is the collection of images from an exploration of interest:
I chose wildflowers because I have a compulsion to photograph them. I often stop to take pictures on the trail when I hike or backpack --- much to the amusement (and frustration) of my backpack partners.
__________________________________________________________________________
Illustrate a 'how to' in Google slides.
Here is a collection of images showing how to teach a day class. I chose to show how to run a day class for watershed education .
_________________________________________________
Here is the collection of images from: choose five photos and digitally edit to create art:
I put five photos together in a collage, applied different filters to some of them and added some text onto a couple of the photos. There were other cool digital graphic edits which did not translate across so I had to omit them (Microsoft does not play well with others).

Here is the collection of images from the National Geographic topics: exploration of food from around the world:
This is a photo collection of food shots inspired by the National Geographic photo contest.
This was a fun project because --who doesn't have pictures of food (ha! ha!)---
All the shots were taken when gathered with friends or family to share a meal. So it is also a collection of some good memories.

FOUR Google EARTH Tours
PLEASE CLICK THE LINK BELOW FOR THE first GOOGLE EARTH TOUR:
1) This is a -Which State Game--
a virtual tour that partners with a google quiz- to take and submit in Google Classroom. There audio is instructions and information on the expectations for completion.

3) This is a mapping tour of my Birth to Missoula.
Since my father was an aircraft carrier pilot, we traveled a lot. As a young adult, I continued to live in a few diverse places before coming to Missoula. Missoula: don't we all have our story of how Missoula "captured us."

Stop Motion of a Circle
HERE'S A STOP MOTION PROJECT
https://umt.box.com/s/mpqyh7dszjb1flg7077shf64zongwwgf Stop Motion photography can be done in the classroom by students with any device-- iPad, etc. This was taken with an iPhone and edited with Life Lapse app.

How to Do Stop Motion Photography
You can learn how to make a stop motion projects using the free version of LIFE LAPSE app.
It's Fun to learn and easy to use. Imagination is your only limitation. Projects can be made in class with iPad or with a phone. YouTube has several tutorials posted and you can get ideas from there.
Now, in addition to large poster boards and art supplies, you can make a stop motion project as part of your math or social studies lesson. They can be posted in Google Classroom.
Your Stop Motion projects can be combined with podcasts, blogs, and class videos in Google Classroom.
SEE BELOW:
This is a short tutorial with professional stop motion artist and producer, Trisha Zemp.
"Four Tips to Make Your Stop Motion Videos Look Really Good."
If you get excited about this -- like Trisha-- and want to start making stop motion projects all the time, the Life Lapse app is only a few dollars a month.
Digital Video Project with rubric link
Here is a digital video project, with a focus on education.
Video was collected over a 5 hour period in an outdoor learning environment on watershed science. iMovie was used as the film editor.
Most of the time went into reviewing the material, choosing what would be included in the first cut, and then compiling this down into a draft version. It took several hours from there, to edit down what is shown here [this is cut 30]. I thought most of the time would be spent in filming. But, it turns out the reviewing and editing takes most of your time and thought processes. . .
So here is the result.
Studying our water landscapes, insects, and plant communities.
Combining computers with hands-on learning:
Children watched videos about watersheds then led group discussions on sustainable
habitats and watershed health.
This film is the result of a day of following an outdoor classroom. Through-out the day, children learned about plant communities, watersheds, riparian habitats, and insects, Using interactive computer maps and exploring thought-maps of watersheds- upstream, downstream impacts, they learned how to enter data to generate field maps for water quality data in their study of habitat diversity in riparian zones.

Introduction to Blended Learning Series
As more and more people recognize the importance of incorporating online technology into our classrooms-- more opportunities and resources become available to teachers.
This is, especially exciting for MATH, because blended learning opens up an environment for different learning styles and especially for the different paces of concept understanding.
In MATH, each student reaches mastery in different ways and at different times. Blended learning strives to give students resources so they can build knowledge, at their pace, both inside and outside the classroom. It removes traditional constraints on math skills acquisition because students have multiple resources available to them, including lectures that can be revisited at home for understanding.
In math it can be really stressful when the lesson "goes" too fast. And if we can't keep up with what the teacher is teaching, we get lost; this may cause us to shut down, which further delays our ability to get the important math concepts we need to build on.
Blended learning give the student a lot more control over the resources they need to learn.
PODCAST: What.About. EUREKA Math
PLEASE CLICK ON MY POD CAST BELOW
This is a podcast where I talk about my experiences using Eureka Math. I give an overview of a second grade geometry lesson and talk about working with elementary students last year. I tell about their responses to the curriculum. Using this curriculum students thought hard and worked hard. They developed growth mindset and gained a better attitude about math.
