Objectives+1+and+2

**Objectives 1 & 2**  **Students will demonstrate the ability to integrate technology into the teaching of all content areas and to facilitate students’ individual and collaborative use of technology, including classroom resources as well as distance and online learning opportunities when available and appropriate. **

This page includes Lesson Plan 1, which is a group assignment. The group assignment involves student collaboration to create a "Touring the states of the United States" PowerPoint Presentation.



Lesson Plan 2 is an individual assignment in which the student created a PhotoStory Presentation on one of the "Seven Wonders of the World". The student created Photo Story is a presentation of "Machu Pichu"

I would suggest modeling the program several times within a small group. I would also recommend allowing a peer tutor to assist other students. Students grasped the concept rather quickly if they have a peer to guide them through the first few slides, as well as editing text, and adding music. After students grasped the program concept, they want to become more creative with the program. When I teach using PhotoStory, I would allow a great deal of time because it can become quite overwhelming if students do not understand how to create a folder to save pictures once their research begins.
