What kinds of instructional methods are needed in light of content objectives and student characteristics? Teacher will need to provide direct instruction, guided practice and demonstrate usage of various websites in order to prepare students. How can technology best support these methods? Various Mimio presentations will be used that incorporate the technologies to be integrated into the instruction. Students will be allowed to practice using some of the technologies on the white board prior to using independently.

How can we prepare students adequately to use technologies? Students can properly be prepared to utilize any technology from using them from the first day of classes. However, if new technologies are being introduced, students must be given the opportunity to explore and engage in the technology. For this unit, students have already been exposed to the IPads, IPods, Edmodo and various other technological resources. During the unit, the teacher will demonstrate and allow proper time for student exploration.
