Professional
Development Plan:
Integrating
Digital Audio and Video in support of learning in specific core content area.
Digital and audio technology can be great tools for helping students learn more
effectively. Not only does it provide another medium for the teacher to
communicate information with the students, but also keeps the students
interested and introduces them to new technology. Click

This is a transcript for the hearing impaired from the audio
link above: Good morning, this is Mr. Stiffler
with the Math department. Today we'll be talking about integrating audio
and video technology into the math classroom.

Algebra |
Intended
Grade Level: 9-11 |
| Title
of Professional Development Activity:
Integrating Audio and Visual Technology into the mathematics Classroom |
| Goal:
Teachers will
plan and design effective learning environments and experiences
supported by technology. |
| Objectives/
Academic Content Standards and Performance Indicators:
1.12.1a recognize, describe
and/or extend patterns and functional relationships that are
expressed numerically, algebraically, and/or geometrically (CLG
1.1.1)
- describe the relationship of sequences symbolically
- recognize and extend recursive and explicit relationships
of sequences
- describe functions and their properties using function
notation\
1.12.2 write equivalent forms of equations, inequalities,
and systems of equations and solve
- analyze the relationships among coefficients, factors,
and roots of a polynomial
- add, subtract, multiply, and divide simple rational expressions
- perform operations on algebraic expressions
- apply the operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication,
and/or division of algebraic expressions to mathematical and
real-world situations (CLG 1.1.3)

| Technology
Standards and Performance Indicators: (See
bottom of page) |
| Equipment/
Materials: -
Television, computer projection screen and projector, speakers, PDA's |
| Preparation:
Create vhs video
demonstration of how to solve an algebraic expression and upload to
webpage |
| Online
Resources: PBS Digital Divide Home Series |
| Instructional
Activities/ Procedures:
-
During
the first 15 minutes we will discuss the advantages of integrating audio
and digital video into the
classroom
- Show a sample video of PDA's being used"
- Demonstrate how PDA and computer projection screen can be used to
create an interactive environment
- Can display one student's work on a particular
problem on screen (anonymously) allowing him/her and others
to discuss, critique, and devise a solution to
the question
- Good for group work because easy to
display
- Show video demonstration I created to teachers and explain that
students could access video over internet,
enabling them to review at any time
- Group project could include making video lesson for
class which we could upload onto the internet
- Finish activity with discussion forum
|
Discussion
Questions/ Follow-Up: Discussion
questions:
-What do you see as the benefits of integrating audio and video
technology? What are some possible problems?
-Cost is probably the most common problem, what are some ways to
remedy the high cost of technology?
-What are some ways to get the students interested in using
technology?
-How can we as individuals (referring to the teachers present)
each use technology at least once every few weeks in our classrooms? |
