Objectives

• Standard 3: Students will describe and analyze attributes of two dimensional shapes.

• Objective 2: Demonstrate the meaning of congruence through applying transformations.

• Indicator A: Demonstrate the effect of reflection, translation, and rotation using objects.

Learning Objective

• Students will be able to describe and recognize reflection, translation, and rotation using polygons.

Technology in My Lesson

• Y.P.P.= Yearly Progress Pro.

• Researched based assessment tool that gives specific frequent feedback to teachers.

• Instant, on the spot intervention

• Aligned with core curriculum

• Teachers develop own assessments or use programs.

How I used This Technology

• After teaching the students about flip, slides, and turns I created an assessment on Y.P.P. to test their knowledge.

How continued

• Students worked individually with head phones to answer a 15 question assessment.

• Pictures and audio are used to communicate questions.

• Teacher assistance

Went Well/Not Well

• Well– Students enjoyed using the computer and

getting to type.– Students were excited that they could see flip,

slide, and turn virtually.

• Not Well– It was a fast activity because they knew it

well.– I could have had the students interact with

each other more.

Principles of Effective Technology Integration

• Student use of technology– Students were involved. Not teacher showing.

• Technology use is essential

-Added on to learning, not just for my use.

• Focus on Learning Task

-The entire task was based on the learning objective

Added Value

- The technology added to the lesson
