Using Audio-Visual Lessons flat

Today we will collaborate to create audio-visual lessons using Schoology and ActivInspire. First, you will identify the audio and visual resources available to you in your school. Then, you will use Schoology to collaborate about the different ways to incorporate them into your ActivInspire lessons. After searching for premade resources, and creating audio-visual materials of your own, you will create a presentation using ActivInspire and audio-visual resources. You will post this lesson for classmate responses, then evaluate your work.

=Objectives: =
 * 1) Participants will use Schoology to collaborate about audio-visual technology.
 * 2) Participants will identify ways to use audio-visual resources in ActivInspire software.
 * 3) Participants will create ActivInspire flipcharts using pre-made and student created audio-visual resources.
 * 4) Participants will evaluate personal and peer use of audio-visual resources.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Which audio-visual resources are available at your school? <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">In this activity, your job is to join in a collaborative discussion with classmates to identify the audio and visual resources available to you in the classroom. These resources can include hardware, software, and premade resources (YouTube). You will post your responses to our class' Schoology discussion group. Please follow the steps below or download the PDF to access the site.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">1. Go to the Schoology website by typing in or clicking the following link, https://www.schoology.com/home.php. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">2. Sign-up for a student account. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">3. Type in our class access code ZCM28-S6PXG. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">4. Register for Schoology by entering your personal information and pressing register. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">5. Locate the audio-visual tools discussion by clicking CoursesMathematicsOnline: Section 1 link in the upper toolbar.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">6. Click on the discussions tab.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">7. Select the School Audio-Visual link. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">8. Read the discussion topic and post your comments.

=<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Activity 2: Identifying Strategies to Incorporate Audio-Visual Resources =

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">How can you use audio-visual technology in your lessons?

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Select two of the audio and two of the visual resources identified by you and your classmates to examine in depth. Describe the instructional strategies you could use to incorporate the resources into a math lesson. You may use online resources, as well as personal experiences in your response. Be sure to cite any online resources you reference in your online post at our Schoology site. Please add your post to the discussion entitled, Incorporating Audio-Visual Resources.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">You may refer to the PDF below if you would like additional assistance logging into and responding to this discussion at the Schoology site.

=<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Activity 3: Creating Audio-Visual Resources = <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Now that you have identified how to incorporate audio-visual resources, you are going to use audio-visual resources and the Activinspire program to develop a mathematics lesson. Your lesson should include preconctructed resources, as well as resources you have created to enhance your lesson. For this assignment, you may visit Promethean Planet and select a chart that does not effectively use audio-visual resources and make adjustments to it, or create a flipchart from scratch. You may not just copy a chart and place your name on it, changes must be made.

Please visit the Schoology site for additional assignment expectations. Directions to access both of the assignments from Activity 3 are attached below.
 * 1) <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Modify the attached fractions file by adding one audio and one visual resource created by another user, and at least one audio or visual resource created by you.
 * 2) <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">[[file:math 12.1-1.flipchart]]
 * 3) <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Visit the Core Curriculum website developed by your state and look at the curriculum goals for your grade level. You may also visit the Common Core State Standards website by clicking here.
 * 4) <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Identify one math curriculum objective you would like to use to create or modify a mathematics lesson using the ActivInspire program.
 * 5) <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Modify or create a new flipchart using the following:
 * 6) One premade audio resoource
 * 7) One premade visual resource
 * 8) One created audio or visual resource
