Objective+3

Objective 3 **Ability to integrate technology into the teaching of all content areas. **

__**Meeting the Objective: **__ Along with the use of the activity wiki, my lesson plans integrated the use of technology into our content lessons. The first lesson plan, utilized in the geometry block, required students to work in groups to research and design a zoo. They found the minimum dimensions for specific enclosures and provided a blueprint for their zoo. The activity was hosted on my wiki and encouraged the use of Excel and PowerPoint to complete it.

The second lesson plan consisted of students working individually to graph the weather over a ten day period. The students completed this assignment during the meteorology portion of instruction. I included links to websites for students to obtain the weather data and a tutorial on how to construct their graph in Excel. This lesson provided an introduction to some of the functions in Excel and required the students to use online resources to conduct research. As with the first lesson, this activity was hosted on my wiki.
