Description: Learn how we engage our students in our classrooms using technology. Lessons and activities that are conducted in Prob & Stats and Algebra classes will be shared.

All Lesson Objectives:
 * 1) To expose kids to technology seamlessly
 * 2) To promote Higher Order Thinking
 * 3) To provide real-time activities

Technology used in class: Computers, Interactive White Board, i-Pod Touches, graphing calculators, BlackBoard Software of choice: PowerPoint, TI-SmartView, Google Docs
 * Geometry and Probability & Statistics **

PK ADVICE: Jump into technology without knowing the depth … too shallow or too deep? I jumped into the deep end and was totally dependent on technology! Learn from the students … don't limit them … don't pretend to be an expert! AND if you don't know, just "GOOGLE IT"
 * **WHY GOOGLE APPS?**
 * 1) easy to use
 * 2) convenient
 * 3) able to be used from home or any computer with internet access
 * 4) actually used in the "REAL WORLD"

**Introduction to Google Docs:** ELCO School District **Progression to Project**  Bollinger Statistics  Newhouse Statistics  Day Statistics ||=  || Technology used in class: Computers, Interactive White Board, i-Pod Touches, graphing calculators. Software: Powerpoints, Internet, Simulation Games. ||  || Objective: To provide a hands-on way of utilizing linear regression.
 * 1) **l**earn to use the available software - create a document
 * 2) learn how to share document with me and other students … then **COLLABORATE**!
 * 3) learn to develop a question, share it with others within the class, then collect and summarize the data
 * 4) develop a survey and gather data using **iPod Touches**
 * 5) select a suitable display - allow students to fail and succeed with their displays
 * 6) summarize the data and present it through any type of technology - **PowerPoint, website, video** ||=   ||
 * Examples of using **Glogster** to present statistical information …
 * **Algebra and Probability & Statistics**:
 * **Algebra and Probability & Statistics**:
 * Bungie Barbie

The STEPS:


 * Gather data collection via test drops and record info on spreadsheet;
 * Develop Linear Regression Line;
 * Do test drop at given height to test regression equation;
 * Go to unknown location for students for final drop. Two chances as long as Barbie does not get "killed" on first jump.
 * re-evaluate before final drop;
 * test drops and final drops are video taped.
 * Students create a final presentation showing testing steps, data collected, video of drops. These are posted online. ||  ||
