TECHNOLOGY INTEGRATION FOR MEANINGFUL CLASSROOM USE
A Standards-Based Approach Cathy Petty Cathy, This is a great activity to connect with a class in another country. I like that you are able to incorporate the Flat Classroom into your work. =Daily Lesson GAME Plan Template= **Content Standards:** o Creativity and innovation o  Communication and collaboration o Research and information fluency || o  Critical thinking, problem-solving, & decision-making o  Digital citizenship o Technology operations and concepts || **Instructional objective(s): Using population growth information, students will discuss the effects rapidly increasing populations have on the economy and environment.**
 * Lesson Title: Population growth and the economic and environmental effects. || Related Lessons: Percent increase, ||
 * 9th, 10th and 11th graders || Unit: A Mathematical Analysis of World Population Growth (from Ciese Real Time Data Projects, []) ||
 * GOALS ||
 * SPI 3102.1.1 Interpret patterns found in sequences, tables, and other forms of quantitative information using variables or function notation**
 * ü 3102.3.20 Understand that a linear equation has a constant rate of change called slope and represent slope in various forms.**
 * CLE 3102.2.1 Understand computational results and operations involving real numbers in multiple representations.**
 * ü 3102.3.19 Explore the characteristics of graphs of various nonlinear relations and functions including inverse variation, quadratic, and square root function. Use technology where appropriate.**

Class will be signed up for the Flat Classroom Project and will be connected to a partner classroom from another country. I would create a hyperlink to the Flat Classroom Site. || ||
 * ACTION ||
 * Before-class preparation: Reserve computer lab. Collect list of sites with studies on effects of population growth.** Classroom blog will have been set up and students will have been trained in its proper use.

 * Time

Days 1 and 2 || Instructional Activities

On classroom blog, groups of students will research and post at least two economic or environmental facts, concerns or statistics. Each group will respond to at least two posts made by classmates.

Students will correspond with their partner classroom regarding their concerns and their communities’ efforts in dealing with the effects of over-population. Will they be blogging with the other classroom just for one day or will this be done outside of class? || Materials & Resources

Site list with studies on effects of increasing population growth.

Flat Classroom site || Notes: Students will be assigned to groups based on similar ability. Several websites will be listed for students’ research.


 * MONITOR ||

Ongoing assessment(s): Students will be graded on their participation in and contribution to the online discussions. Accommodations and extensions: More time will be given to SPED or ELS students and school resource teachers will be informed of project and will be able to work with students on completion.
