TPACK Lesson Plan

TPACK Lesson Plan: By Samantha Pelstring and Anne Sarafin

Title: Map Skills

Summary: Students will use google maps to learn about ordinal directions and identifying Africa and Egypt on a map.

Primary Core Goals/Outcomes:
Virginia Social Studies Standards
Geography
1.4 B –Using cardinal directions on maps
1.4 C- Identify continents and native country on a map

Intended Learning Outcomes:
 -Students will be able to identify the compass rose
-Students will be able to identify directions North, East, South, and West
-Students will be able to identify the continent Africa
-Students will be able to identify Egypt


Pedagogical Decisions



Activity Types:
Create a map
Activity Type
Brief Description
Complete a review activity
Students engage in some form of question and answer to review content; paper-based to game-show format using multimedia presentation tools
Group Discussion
In small to large groups, students engage in dialogue with their peers; synchronous/asynchronous
View images
Students examine both still and moving (video, animations) images; print-based or digital format
Simulation
Students engage in paper-based or digital experiences which mirror the complexity of the real world
Create a map
Students label existing maps or produce their own; print based materials or digitally
Take a test
Students demonstrate their knowledge through paper based, traditional format to computer-generated and scored assessments

Assessment Plan:
Formative Assessment-
Students will be assessed while playing “spin the world”
-Students will also be assessed when they color and outline their world map

Summative Assessment-
-Students will be assessed on an edmodo quiz and may reference google maps

Materials and technologies:
Used by the Teacher:  smartboard, projector, macbook, globe, google maps, brainpopjr, edmodo.com

Used by the Students: macbooks, internet, google maps installed on all macbooks, paper copy of world map, crayons

Instructional Procedures:
-Students will watch “continents rap” at Map Rap
-Students will review word wall and new words on brainpopjr with the help of teacher
-Students will watch map skills on brainpopjr.com and class discussion of the main idea
-Teacher will introduce google maps program
-Students will review the ordinal directions on google maps
-Students will help identify Africa/ Egypt on google maps
-Students will play “spin the world”
            *one student will spin the google map globe and another student will spin classroom globe. The fastest student then must stop the globes at Africa or Egypt. Each person who is the fastest and accurate gets a point for their table. Every table will get 2 turns (5 tables).
-Students then will get world maps and color Egypt and surrounding countries. Students will also outline Africa.
-Students will get macbook computers and log on to Edmodo.com. They will complete map quiz and may use google maps for reference.

TIM Cell Present-
Adaptation Active
“The teacher facilitates students in exploring and independently using technology tools” and “Students are actively engaged in using technology as a tool rather than passively receiving information from the technology.” Students will be encouraged to use the google maps to reference information that we already discussed. They can explore other parts of google maps too if this helps them on edmodo.

TIM Cell Future
Adaptation Collaboration
“The teacher facilitates students in exploring and independently using technology tools” and “Students use technology tools to collaborate with others rather then working individually at all times.” In the next step, groups would get 2-3 different countries that they would have to find on their own through online collaboration on edmodo reading groups. Students would use google maps or safe students search engine to locate the countries and see what was north, east, south, and west of them. They would put their answers together on edmodo posting and show the class in group presentations.
