I really like this assignment, it has all the elements we need, technology integration, real-life based skills, and allows for group/class discussion at the end to report their findings. Sounds great to me!  Stephanie

I think this is a great idea based on the fact that it is a real-life situation that our students will face. What grade are we focusing on? I would be more then happy to modify this flyer in board maker, which is a program with real life icons that students in special education use to read and understand steps. Thanks for sharing this idea with us, Misty. Marisol

OK Guys. I am still a bit confused on exactly what we should be doing. I think we need a topic for a lesson. How about MATH? We can talk about percentages and how we use taxes. I have a couple of good lessons we can adapt to fit our assignment. The scenario says “design, implement, and assess a technology integration/intervention program for a group of 30 students with unique needs.” I think we need a subject and a lesson to start with. See the attached for a lesson on tax and cars. We can take this lesson and build a technology enriched lesson for our project. This is just a suggestion, because remember I am not to sure just exactly what we are suppose to be doing here.

Hi guys. I just filled in the Car Flyer <span class="yshortcuts" style="border-bottom-color: #0066cc; border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; cursor: pointer;">lesson plan on the CAST UDL Lesson Builder, then copied and pasted it to a <span class="yshortcuts" style="border-bottom-color: #0066cc; border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; cursor: pointer;">Google Doc so that y'all can edit. The Google Doc address is @http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=dhnxkxcx_3fgk5shc4 Let me know if it won't let you edit, you want it moved to our other Google Doc, or if there's anything else you need me to do with it.

> OK Guys.

I am still a bit confused on exactly what we should be doing. I think we need a topic for a lesson.

How about MATH? We can talk about percentages and how we use taxes. I have a couple of good lessons we can adapt to fit our assignment.

The scenario says "design, implement, and assess a technology integration/intervention program for a group of 30 students with unique needs."

I think we need a subject and a lesson to start with. See the attached for a lesson on tax and cars. We can take this lesson and build a technology enriched lesson for our project.

This is just a suggestion, because remember I am not to sure just exactly what we are suppose to be doing here.

Please feel free to make changes to the format if needed. I think that creating a program or activities that follow the textbook will be our best way to ensure that our assignment is research-based and fits the model of a universal design for learning. For our action plan having students create a setting objective activity and following a rubric.

 * 10) How will you assess the effectiveness of the learning activities? **Rubics (MH)**
 * 11) What technology tools will be included in the Google wiki/website format your team will use for the final delivery of your scenario solution?
 * 12) Will it include video, documents, and other technology project samples? **videos?? (MP) We can //definitely// do videos :) (JC)**
 * 13) Who will publish your work and to which free sites such as TeacherTube, Google Videos, Flickr, or others will be linked back to the Google team wiki/website? **TeacherTube, Google Videos(DF); Misty Hughes, wiki.**

- Develop a plan of action ?? **Idea for secenario-based problem - Our campus just got document cameras and for looking for ways to use the in the classroom in a way that they are research-based on enhance student achievement. I think using technology tool and focusing on teachers training other teachers in professional development and hands on model would amazing and would work. Almost like creating a training video on the device that other teachers can watch. Marisol Peralez**
 * Required Components **

** District Goal #3 ** : Promote student engagement by using technology tools to deliver instruction.


 * Campus Strategy #1: ** Provide professional development and Technology tools to teachers so that they will utilize technology equipment to enhance student achievement in the area of Science through the delivery of instruction by enhancing visual learning.

Teachers will create and deliver lessons or activities utilizing projector and document camera. 21 st Century learning trends Create sample technology projects Select the mediums your team will use to share your final group project with the world within the Google wiki/website - Publish your scenario-based solution to the Google wiki/website and share with the world.
