Individual Project
- 1. TED 8430 Denise Hoskins Individual Project I teach third grade in the Omaha Public Schools. My students did very well academically in most areas, however, deficits were in multiplication and problem solving. My focus will be working on improving math instruction in the fall and will incorporate my project into my fall study. I want to investigate how well incorporating technology into the math curriculum will improve math achievement. I plan on using pre and post assessments, teacher observation, rubrics and district assessments to chart my findings. I plan on compiling sites that are specific to the standards set for third grade in the Omaha Public Schools. I will also incorporate different technologies that will increase understanding of the skill that will "hook" the students. There are a wealth of sites available. I will compile a list of sites appropriate for each strand and have those available for my grade level to use with their students as well. I plan to put this document in a power point and add that to issuu.com an on-line publishing sit. This application will display the math unit in a flash magazine format that is very friendly and professional. I can inbedd this into a wiki or download it onto my OPS site when the school year begins. To introduce or review skills, these are some technologies I will incorporate into my lessons. issuu.com, animoto.com, itunesu.com, esurvey
