Assignment 2

• Link to the presentation I'm using: 
• http://exchange.smarttech.com/details.html?id=639b77e7-71f0-423a-879a-430773d281b5
• SMARTboard features I'm using: 
• Pens, Flash quiz, putting together a puzzle
• NETS used: 
• For Students: 
• 4c: Collect and analyze data to identify solutions and/or make informed decisions
•  Being able to pick apart propaganda and examine the different components, as well as the motivation behind the message will help students to make informed decisions about the information they receive through ads and the internet.
• 5a: Advocate and practice safe, legal, and responsible use of information and technology
•  Being knowledgeable about propaganda will help students to advocate responsible use of information, and be able to sort through the plethora of advertisements and messages they are exposed to to discover the motivation behind them. 
• For Teachers:
• 1b: Engage students in exploring real-world issues and solving authentic problems using digital tools and resource
  • Informing students about propaganda in the media will engage students in critical thinking about the information that is presented to them daily. They will work on solving the problem of being blinded or misled by media. 
• How can an interactive white board help my students?
• Using technology is an easy way to get the kids of today hooked. No students learn at their best when a teacher just lectures and expects them to take notes. SMARTboard technology will help students to get involved in their own learning. For example, letting students participate in activities that the SMARTboard can provide (quizzes, dissecting a virtual frog, etc) is an easy way to get them to own their own learning.
