//Make sure you have read the article for this week by Harris and Hofer! For this assignment you will think about an activity that you do in your class and consider some technologies that may support that activity in a different way based on your TPACK understanding. Some examples are provided below in different styles, you can decide how you will enter your contribution to the knowledge being constructed in the chart!//

Assessment || As part of my unit assessments I often have a essay question set up much like students will encounter on an OAA. Traditionally students really struggle to get their thoughts in order on these questions so that they answer all parts. I might be able to allow students to answer this question in more of a voice thread format. This would allow students to voice all of their thoughts and get everything out. After doing so, students could go back and listen to their voice threads. They could then sort out their ideas in a manner that would be sufficient for an OAA question. || Macbooks, ipods, ipad 2. ||
 * **Participant Name** || **Activity Type** || **Brief Description** || **Possible Technologies** ||
 * Cheryl Ward || Listen to Audio || Students listen to recordings of speeches, music, radio broadcasts, oral histories, and lectures; digital or non-digital || Podcasts (“Great Speeches in History,” etc.), Audacity, Garageband, Odeo, Evoca, Podcast People ||
 * Teacher || Peer Feedback || In my class students give each other peer feedback on a writing project, but it would be great to do this electronically. || I may consider a wiki where they would post their writing and then others could comment sort of non private? Could use Google Docs and peers could comment using the comment option and it would be more private. ||
 * Annette Marino/Stanton Middle School || Math Game || Students would create a math review game on a particular unit including math concepts and vocabulary || Students could use smart powerpoint templates, puzzlemaker to design their game, as well as, Google Docs and/or Wiki to communicate with their group members sharing ideas and editing their work ||
 * Tina Norris/Coventry || View Presentation || Parents (my audience) view a presentation designed to educate them about the set up of the school, procedures and the type of experience they can expect for thier child in an orientation style gathering. || iMovie, Voice Thread to incorporate student perspectives, Power Point, Digital Imaging ||
 * Ellen J. || Poetry Reading || Teacher cuts short poems for children into stanza strips. Students only practice reading their own part of the poem with no knowledge of the entire poem. Students then read their parts out loud in order. They then hear the poem in its entirety for the first time. They often display such cute and fun reactions when they hear the poem recited out loud. It would be great to catch this activity on video and then show the students their reciting of and reaction to the poem. || IPod, IMovie, and the projector and SmartBoard. ||
 * Tyler Turner || Essay
 * Bo Walter || group assessment || I have been able to link Turningpoint to Study Island. I can show a quiz on the projector and have all the students answer the questions using Turningpoint clickers. This ALSO allows the information to be stored in Study Island. The reports are then available. Also, more students can use technology when there is not enough for everyone to have their own item. I love this Bo. I use Turningpont for Study Island as well and the students love the immediate feedback. Of course I do to. RM || turningpoint system, computer, projector ||
 * Lori Vandeborne || Group Project || My students are currently working collaboratively on an iMovie or Voice-thread (their choice) for a character analysis project for S.E. Hinton's, //The Outsiders//. We are using a news cast format to create a most wanted special report describing the character of choice, what that character may be likely to do that is illegal based on their descriptions in the text and what the consequences of their actions are. They also need to provide physical and personality traits. They are using inferring, predicting, connections to text, writing and revising skills, presentation skills, and communication skills that are in the state content standards. || iMovie, iPods, Laptops, Desktops, smartboard, projector (for presentation), Voice-Thread ||
 * Amy Long || research project || There is a resource called research project calculator that we used yesterday. IT helps students with deadlines and breaking research projects into steps. THis is very different from the traditional way using paper and pencil to help the student become successful with each step of the process. || computer, projector, ipod ||
 * Shannon Kuhlman || Data Project, small group || Students measure the height of water as objects are added to it. The data is recorded in a scatterplot and a prediction is made for a larger amount of objects added. || We could use a spreadsheet to import their data and we could create a scatterplot with the data. ||
 * Ryan Miller || Present a Persuasive Argument || Students will consider a conflict that our community is facing. They will research the topic through newspapers, online articles, and conducting interviews. After gathering information they will create their own persuasive argument in an effort to win over the class. The argument will be presented using any form of technology the student wishes. || ipod, ipad, Laptops, Desktops, voicethread, smartboard, imovie, powerpoint, digital camera, etc.. ||
 * Mary Wormley || Research Project || Students will explore celebrations, traditions, and symbols related to a holiday or festival from other parts of the world. Students will then present their information to the rest of the class. || ipod, ipads, laptops, desktops, powerpoint, imovie, google docs ||
 * Cindi Molk || Math Project || Based on the Ohio Model Math Curriculum for sixth graders, my Math students will pick their favorite Math sixth grade Math concept and create a Math picture book. || ipod, laptops, voicethread, Smartboard ||
