Technology Integration Final Project by Tamara Tamez

• Brief description/summary of technology

• This research unit integrates math, science, social studies, technology, and literacy while teaching students about countries around the Hispanic world and economic principles.
• Students in High School level Spanish 3 Pre-AP courses will work in a “discovery classroom” will learn how to be independent learners, boosting their research, problem-solving, and critical thinking skills. The teacher will act as a facilitator and guide.

Technology that will be incorporated

• Haiku deck- Presentations that Inspire, a completely new kind of presentation software. We make telling your story simple, beautiful, and fun. • Livebinder - Help students showcase their work while sharing it with parents and potential schools. Give them the opportunity to reflect on everything they have learned and how they have grown. Livebinder can be implemented in different ways to help scaffold lessons for students but they allow all students to participate in online reading, project-based learning, etc. • Bubbl - Brainstorm online with bubbl.us. Easily create colorful mind maps to print or share with others.
