TIP+Phase+4

**TIP Phase 4: Design Integration Strategies**

**What kinds of instructional methods are needed in light of content objectives and student characteristics?**

We plan to utilize a variety of instructional methods throughout this unit of study. Our goal is move our young learners from a directed method of instruction (due to kindergarteners' limited prior knowledge of technology) toward more inquiry-based learning. In some cases both models will be integrated to best meet the needs of student learning. An example of this would be the Kid Pix lessons which would begin with whole group direct instruction of the skills and content to be learned following this with individual skill practice. Through exploration of Kid Pix scaffolding of what has been learned as well as discovery learning would take place. A final student developed project would foster problem solving and knowledge transfer. If done in a small group setting, it would also group participation as well as distributed intelligences.

Knowledge of online safely will be taught and reinforced, skills practiced and assimilation of the concept made through out the unit of study. Our PBIS school wide expectations will be interwoven into the technology/lab orientation, methods such as practice of expectation in the lab on Day 2.

**How can technology best support these methods?**

ISTE 2007 require basic skills in technology operations and concepts by age five. Through this unit of study children will learn these basic skills and be at an advantage to compete in the 21st century workforce. Through active involvement with the appropriate technology for young students, students will be engaged learners as technology is highly motivational to young children. The interactions with technology should be playful done as play is central to children's development and learning as well as in small group collaboration as much as suitable to meet the social development needs of young learners.

**How can we prepare students adequately to use technologies?**

As stated previously most young children do not have have the prior knowledge of technology. Through careful introduction/identification of the hardware, practice of the language and terminology and then review of this information. This would prepare the student to then move into safe inquiry- based learning and HOTS through technology.

**Unit Scope and Sequence** **Day 1: Classroom** **KWL** (modified to K & L emphasis first day) At whole group instruction area of classroom.
 * 1) In classroom student will be introduced to a vocabulary word//, technology,// by teacher writing it on the board. Students will discuss their knowledge of the word. (Kindergarten may have little to no response). Follow up by showing the 1 minute video. [| http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W7a4cp1BsUM&feature=related]
 * 2) Follow up with discussion of anything learned/knowledge of technology from video. (Again little K response expected).
