Multimedia Project Design

Project Title:

The BIG Gain

Grade Level:

10 and teachers

Subject/Topic Area(s)

Mathematics

Designed By:

Joyce Sweat

Date:

August 9, 2000

School District:

Baltimore County

School:

Dundalk High School

Goal:

To improve student achievement on standardized tests, SAT and end of course exams. To prepare students for the High School Assessments.

Content Standards:

Students will demonstrate the ability to investigate, interpret, and communicate solutions to mathematical and real-world problems using patterns, functions and algebra. (Expectation 1.1 Core Learning Goals for Mathematics)

Students will learn how to search the Internet for data, publish a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation, and use Microsoft Word, (NETS 9-12 #2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8)

 

 

 

 

Project Summary:

This is a professional development presentation, which will demonstrate technology integration into three lessons. Lesson #1 will link to the Internet to show sites where students may obtain data. Lesson #2 will demonstrate students using the TI-83 with a short video. It will also mention that students need to learn how to use PowerPoint. Lesson #3 will show how students may use word processing skills in all content areas.

 

Objectives/Desired Results (What will the learners understand as a result of this project?)

To learn how technology may be integrated into the curriculum.

To use the Internet as a rich electronic information source.

To develop effective multimedia presentations, including links.

To understand how Inspiration could be used as a valuable learning tool.

To discover the power of a web based lesson.

 

Plans for Facilitation:

To present this to each content area department in the Dundalk High School computer lab through the fall. A link to a teacher’s web site will be included for demonstration. The conclusion will link to Inspiration for a demonstration and use it in a discussion about how they will apply the techniques shown in the presentation.

Type of Assessment Used (e.g. observations, work samples, electronic discussions, dialogues)

Students’ work.

Faculty Inspiration discussion.

Faculty Follow-up.

 

 

 

Scoring tool (e.g. rubric) to be used for evaluation. Be as specific as possible.

Student assessments:

Lesson #1 A discussion will be conducted on the students work with the TI-83 graphing calculator. Students using teacher-generated data will complete a practice worksheet. Informal observations will be utilized in the classroom while students are conducting their research. A rubric will be used for the final student reports.

Lesson #2The students’ storyboard will be peer evaluated. Students will have the teacher check their equations obtained from the TI-83 graphing calculator. Informal observations will be utilized in the classroom while students are preparing their PowerPoint presentations. Formal observations will be given for their presentation. A rubric will be utilized for students’ final project.

Lesson #3 Informal Observations, Students’ work. Classroom discussion will precede the problem solving activity. Peers will use P-Q-P to assist other students in writing, correctness, and reasonableness. Informal observations will be utilized in the classroom while students are writing their report. Students will follow a rubric for their report.

 

Faculty assessments: The discussion using Inspiration. A record of the number of times the computer lab is used for integration lessons throughout the school year.
