Activity Types and how they affect the use of technology for this unit
| Technology | Activity Type(s)(click here to see what these are) | What to anticipate to use effectively | How does it support learning |
| Web design portfolio | Develop a problem, evaluate work, compare contrast work/solutions, test solutions, Pose conjecture | Model the process, show some of the usability, group students and have structured “messing around time” | Develop additional tech knowledge, keep track of progress as if in journal but digitally, ease to publish and get into cyber security. |
| graphing programs/calculators | Compare / contrast , Describe , Produce representation, aid in applying representation, test solutions/ conjectures | Modle use and allow students to explore possibilities in structured task | Allows use of comparative analysis of graphs, tables and so forth. |
| online researching | Investigate concept, test conjecture, Understand/Define Problem | Structured questions to guide process of investigation and problematization | Allows students to collect more information than typically could on own |
| LaTex ( or other specialized word processors) | Generate Text, Consider creation of Math Text | Structured lessons on how to “type math” with what ever program used, what are the common ways it is typed , why use the program is there a better/easier way | Could allow for students to understand the differences in ‘language’ when it comes to constructing math problems and texts |
| Document Camera / Computor projector set up | Attend to / give demonstrations , Teach a lesson | Make sure they know how to orient it or adjust it if needed. | Allows for students to share work and problems with larger group |
| CoolMath (or other websites for practicing some specific skills in unit) | Drill , Investigate Concepts, Consider provlems , Aply representations, test cases (by compairson) | How to find site, what is appropriate to be doing there, advice on what kinds of activities to focus on | Allow for more fun/interesting exercises that still build skills and reasonings. |
| Virtual Manipulative / Simulations | Test solution or Conjecture, | Where to find, how to use, why use (to model) | Allows for modeling and virtual interaction with material |
| Google Drive ( for presentation, sharing work, collaboration | Consider, Create, Plan, Evaluate | Who has it available, what cant it do, how to make it available | Allows for open collaboration and faster feedback response. |
