Fordham University Tech Class Student Projects - Technology Integration Plans

1. Technology Integration Plan 1st Grade - Seasons By: Dana Damiano

3. The Internet is rich with interactive sites on weather and seasons that are appropriate to grade level. Technology-based methods, such as the interactive sites found, do offer a solution with sufficient relative advantage while providing students with a multi-sensory approach to their learning.

5. Use online resources (i.e. Pictures & videos) to gather specific data.

6. Determine the characteristics of various weather conditions connected to each season.

7. Play interactive games involving weather conditions and the different seasons as assessments for the acquired knowledge.

9. The website activities build on videos and pictures viewed by students as each season is introduced.

10. Support for student season projects will be given during the literacy block. Students will read and respond to stories dealing with weather and the seasons, both fiction and non-fiction. Stories and unit will correlated with their Open-Court unit of weather. This will also supplement their web activities.

16. Computer with internet connection and a working printer

17. Access to selected webquests and websites according to their selected season

18. Paper and pencils

20. Since this is a 1st grade class, it needs to be very teacher guided in the creation of their Powerpoints. I feel that if I create templates of Powerpoints for each season that prompts students to insert their own information.
