Technology+Lesson+Examples


 * Google Sketchup Design Project:** [] This lesson uses the free program Google Sketchup to design a 3D model of room, emphasizing the correct use of architectural design components.


 * Trout Pond:** [] This lesson is from NCTM's Illuminations. It is an activity spread out over 4 lessons where students model and analyze a changing fish population. Graphing calculators, Excel spreadsheets, and a Java recurrence plotter (used to graphically investigate the effects of different parameters) are all used throughout this lesson.


 * Algebra Tiles:** [] This lesson is from the SMART Exchange resources. It provides an interactive SMART Board activity that allows students the chance to manipulate algebra tiles to model polynomial expressions and equations.


 * Voki creation - Math Patterns:** [] This lesson is focused with the lower grade-levels, but I thought it was an interesting way for students to present what they learned/discovered about patterns. A Voki is an educational tool that allows students to create their own talking avatar. I might be able to incorporate Vokis with my high school students when they need to present their findings on a research project.
