Digital Academy: Final Project = **Part 1: Project Summary ** =

Plan a lesson, a series of lessons or a unit that implements technology to enhance student learning. Prepare a summary of your lessons that includes the components listed below.

You should also be prepared to talk about these questions during the final Digital Academy session.

**Content ** >> || S02. Life Sciences ||  || >>>> || B. Explain how organisms function and interact with their physical environment. (KG-02) || || >>>> || 02. Identify that there are many distinct environments that support different kinds of organisms. (02) >>>> || B. Design and conduct a simple investigation to explore a question. (KG-02) || >>> || E. Deliver a variety of presentations that include relevant information and a clear sense of purpose. (PK-02) || || >>> || 08. Deliver informational presentations that: >>> a. present events or ideas in logical sequence and maintain a clear focus; >>> b. demonstrate an understanding of the topic; >>> c. include relevant facts and details to develop a topic; >>> d. organize information with a clear beginning and ending; >>> e. include diagrams, charts or illustrations as appropriate; and >>> f. identify sources. (02) || >> >> Students will be able to identify the animal habitat ,describe and label habitat, use computer to do a search for details about how animal lives and adapts to their environment .Students will make a poster and brief oral presentation to class. >> **Pedagogy** >> I will use "wh" questionsand hands on investigations, How do we know questions, and observations to increase reading skill:main ideas and details ,and inquiry skills: use observations to draw conclusions. >> **Technology** >>> **Part 2:** >>> Define your project timeline with implementation and next steps.4 sessions 30 minutes each. Session I - Given a choice of five animal pictres the students will choose one, Students will conduct a brief search on computer to find out where the animal lives. Student will draw a picture to show where the animal lives.Student will write a statement stating why this is a good place for the animal to live. Session II - Students will view short video of animal and write one statement of how their animal adapts to their environment- Session III- Strudent will use the computer to search animal - find a picture, facts about what the animal eats, and natural enemies as well as one interesting fact. Make a poster withthe animal picture in middle and facts posted around. Session IV- Oral presentation to class. >>> >>> **Part 3:** >>> Create a rubric that assesses the lesson. A. Student was able to name correct habitat; Student was able to complete computer search independently, write a sentence for each of three facts, poster neatly arranged, presentation clear spoken in complete senetences. B. Student was able to name correct habitat ; needed assistance with computer search, Student copied sentences of facts correctly from a model,poster neatly arranged, oral presentation clear. C. Student needed assistance in naming habitat, and conducting computer search,D- Student demonstrated poor participation, did not complete parts of the project, oral presentation was not in sentence form. >>> >>> **Part 4:** >>> Ultimately, we would like to showcase student work on this wiki, however with the last two sessions being both in May, this is unlikely. You are encouraged to follow up and include student samples on your Project Page so that others in the district can see the student work.
