www.google.maps.com- As part of a journal activity on immigrants, students could use Google maps to show distances and or the rout with the terrain the immigrants traveled.

http://www.aviary.com/tools/myna- Students could tell the immigrants personal story using this tool that would allow them to personally narrate pictures they have found via the internet, or they could adapt stories they have found via the internet to tell the immigrants story.

= = **Your name: Jim Mills** **Your school: Trotwood-Madison High School**  **Description of Idea:** **Student video production and publishing on Google Docs**

1. Student produced videos explaining the exoskeleton of an insect. Student video production engages students, requires critical thinking, understanding of production process, and synthesis of skills and knowledge. Video production is appropriate for students of varying levels of ability and content knowledge. We use Flip cameras and iMovie or MS MovieMaker for editing. 2. Publish the final videos on our secure Google Video site which is a component of our Google Docs for Education domain. We use our district Google Docs domain for many activities: https://docs.google.com. The domain is secure, so I have provided an image of our Google Videos page. The design is similar to YouTube, but can only be viewed with a district network login. Publishing student videos serves two purposes. First, it affirms that the students’ has accomplished a real world task. Second, viewing the videos of other groups reinforces learning the concept, and allows students to analyze information that was left out or added to production.
 * 1) Students can respond to the assignment in a variety of ways:
 * 2) Create a video with images, photos, drawings of insect exoskeletons
 * 3) Video live or not so live insects with explanatory narration
 * 4) Create a commercial, short play, demonstrating the value of the exoskeleton to the insect (while at the same time incorporating scientific terms and knowledge)

 * Two technologies to support 21st century learning are:**


 * 1) Students could use Google Docs www.docs.google.com** **to pool data collected from a lab and use the pooled data to make more reliable conclusions. Google docs could also be used to have common documents for group assignments in class.**
 * 2) The quintessential technology to support 21st century learning would have to be the Apple Ipad. The small, relatively inexpensive device opens up a world of opportunity for students to access data and move from receivers of information to discoverers of information. Using apps to better understand specific content, research on the world wide web, live discussions with people outside the classroom and around the world, and expert lectures on topics through itunes and other web sources make the Ipad my tool of choice for 21st century learning.**

 * Description of Idea or link to product URL: Two technologies that I hope to use to support 21st century learning are:**
 * 1. Using a social media site for students to share ideas, notes, questions, and thoughts about the assignments they are doing.**
 * 2. Using google docs to share their work with each other, especially the projects I have planned. I think that if students know other students will be looking at their work rather than simply the teacher, the quality of work will rise.**

Learning about Newton’s Laws: 1. Podcasting – Students could create an interview with Newton about his laws or a skit describing Newton’s Laws. 2. ToonDoo or Cartoon Generator to create a comic strip describing Newton’s Laws. Here is a link to a sample:

Your Name: Marcus Bixler Your School: Piqua High School Two technologies that I hope to use to support 21st century learning: #6   Utilizing Google Docs would be a great way to create different products in my classroom. Google Docs could be used to collect and interpret data, create presentations as an instructional resource, or even collaborate to produce their own assessments as a way to review content standards. The possibilities are really endless.

A wiki or blog would be another great way to encourage collaboration and understanding in the classroom. A daily blog could act as a quick review, provide a Question-of-the-Day, and also give students the opportunity to ask questions or provide feedback to many content standards. A wiki would allow for daily feedback. Students could even be assigned to provide a review on the wiki for what was learned in class. Review questions could also be published on the wiki.
