Stage 1

 * __Content goals/expectations for this unit__ **


 * Facts: ** Students learn more effectively when actively involved with the lesson . Teachers have more flexibility in their presentation style with a SMART Board.

Active learning, hands-on instruction, cooperative learning, and technology integration
 * Concepts: **

Engaged learners have a deeper understanding of concepts taught . The Smart Board will help with addressing multi intelligences of learning
 * Generalizations:** (you might want to think more broad about these areas, the SMART board will help with visual learners and tactile learners since they can use their hands to manipulate the board. Randy)


 * Skill goals for this unit (if any):** 

[|Basic Operating Skills of the Smart Board] [|Basic Functionality of the Smart Board] [|Using the Smart Board Tools] [|Using the Floating Toolbar] [|Using the Smart Board Gallery] [|Lesson Planning with Notebook Software]

(The ideas below should spark conversation, be open ended, create other questions.)

SMART boards play an essential role in teaching students with various learning styles. Incorporating interactive lessons improves student understanding. (Sherry) Having students exposed to multi-learning modalities improves students' long term understanding of concepts. (Sherry) Incorporating technology into the curriculum increases student engagement. (Sherry)
 * Enduring Understanding **

How can you use a SMART board effectively to increase student engagement  and improve students' understanding of concepts being taught? (Sherry) How can incorporating multi-media tools increase student involvement?

Stage 2
=<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; color: rgb(128,0,0); font-size: 10pt;">__Assessment (these are well done, Randy)__ = There should be multiple types of assessments and multiple ways of assessing different big concepts. This will also help differentiate your daily plans through different assessments. Some assessments should target multiple goals.

= __Lesson Planning__ = The W.H.E.R.E.T.O. framework is helpful for daily lesson planning (see the attachment). You should copy and paste your above assessments into your plans as a part of your teaching, not separate assessments. Also be aware of grouping students by interest/content, process/activities, product and learning styles.
 * Stage 3 **

Day to Day lessons: <span style="color: rgb(0,128,0);">- Creating an interactive math lesson on angles using SMART Notebook software that includes: 1. drawing tools 2. objects from the Gallery 3. answer reveal 4. follow-up activity via hyperlink, Microsoft Word document, or additional "notebook" page

- Teacher demonstrates three different type of angles (right, obtuse, acute). - Teacher plays a matching game with students with different angles along with perpendicular, parallel, and intersecting lines. - Teacher draws different triangles and students color...right angles (red), obtuse angles (green), and acute angles (blue) on notebook. - Lesson design would vary according to the grade level of the teacher. <span style="color: rgb(0,128,0);">

- Towards end of inservice: question/answer period of tasks done, teachers creating portfolio into My Content <span style="color: rgb(0,128,0);">folder or save to computer.

· // Where // are your students headed? Where have they been? How will you make sure the students know where they are going? <span style="color: rgb(0,128,0);">Essential Questions: - How can you use a SMART board effectively to increase student engagement and improve student's understanding of concepts being taught? - How can incorporating multi-media tools increase student involvement? - Does an interactive whiteboard provide more flexibility for teachers to engage their students? <span style="color: rgb(0,128,0);">
 * The W.H.E.R.E.T.O. framework: **

We will provide handouts on SMART board basic skills, functionalities, tools and toolbars, explain the SMART board Gallery and how to lesson plan with notebook software.

No formal grade will be provided by the instructor.

· <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">How will you //hook// students at the beginning of the unit? <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: #008000; font-size: 10pt;">The presenter will model a Smart Board lesson classifying angles using Notebook software, incorporating pictures showing real world examples of different angles highlighted in the graphic using the highlighter tool.

<span style="color: rgb(0,128,0);">The presenter will ask, "Has anyone ever used a SMART board before? If so, what tools have you demonstrated with?" What technology tools can we use to stimulate and engage our student's minds?

· What events will help students //experience and explore// the big idea and questions in the unit? How will you equip them with needed skills and knowledge? <span style="color: rgb(0,128,0);">There will be active learning and hands-on instruction by using the handouts for informational purposes and having them use the SMART board and experience various tools while exploring its effects in engaging their respective students from traditional teaching methodologies. Teachers will be equipped with the skills to comfortably utilize a SMART board by practicing themselves, by first exploring skills or benefits of such technology, and then following up by having them demonstrate to others and show its effectiveness.

· How will you cause students to //reflect and rethink//? How will you guide them in rehearsing, revising, and refining their work? <span style="color: rgb(0,128,0);">By forming small groups, particulary either by grade level or sets of grades (i.e. 3rd/4th, 5th/6th, and 7th/8th grade), within the in-service based on levels of experience with the SMART board, we can focus on specific tasks and using hands-on instruction to rehearse tasks shown by the instructor. In addition, feedback can be given verbally at the end of the in-service or through paper evaluation form as to whether or not the teacher's needs were met with satisfaction or if another in-service may be needed due to lack of time or uncomfortability that may remain due to the challenges faced by using such a technology tool.

· How will you help students to //exhibit// and self-//evaluate// their growing skills, knowledge, and understanding throughout the unit? <span style="color: rgb(0,128,0);">Teachers will self-assess by exhibiting a lesson plan via the use of a SMART board in their content area. In addition, they will further exhibit their understanding by demonstrating various tools that can be used to further engage their respective students. Teachers should answer essential questions and create a response to further their knowledge about a SMART board.

· How will you //tailor// and otherwise personalize the learning plan to optimize the engagement and effectiveness of ALL students, without compromising the goals of the unit? <span style="color: rgb(0,128,0);">Teachers will explain their SMART board math lesson plans, tailored to meet the needs of their students. Future lesson ideas can also be explored thus, providing a choice that will make learning interesting and exciting. These choices can be done in groups and discussed and written on the Smart board.

· How will you //organize// and sequence the learning activities to optimize the engagement and achievement of ALL students <span style="color: rgb(0,128,0);">The in-service will address the basics of SMART notebook software while answering the essential questions as a whole. By using the skill goals of a SMART board lesson and then explaining the tools of the Smart board afterward, it provides an organized and systematic process of learning the many facets of this technology.
