Spring 2013Teaching with Technology

Background:

- 6th grade

- Social Studies

- Braddock Middle School

- Geography Lesson

- “Map Elements”

Introduction:

• My classroom at Braddock didn’t have much technology. There was a computer with very limited internet access, a projector, and an overhead. To perform this lesson plan with my students, I took my co-curricular class to the library to use the projector and computer lab.

• The lesson was about map elements. This group of students are very mixed with ability levels. The lesson being taught was a review from their Social Studies classes in grades 3-6.

Instruction:

• Below is the link to the instructional part of the lesson. We used the computer and projector to display information to the students.
