The document outlines a 5-day technology integration unit for 8th grade algebra students where they will create videos demonstrating solutions to algebra problems using screencast-o-matic and QR code generators to share their work with other students. Students will choose a problem, write a solution, film a video explaining it, and have their video turned into a QR code to share digitally. The goal is for students to use technology to demonstrate and share their knowledge of algebra.

Name: Caren Friedman
Project Title: Student Book of Answers
Project Subject: Algebra
Grade Level(s): 8th grade
Essential Question: How do we share math using technology?
Scaffolding How can we use QR codes to help share information with other
Questions: students
How can we use a video making website to share our
knowledge of math with other students to help them
Assignment I would like to have students create videos of solutions to
Summary: algebra problems and share them with other students for use in
the classroom or, in the future, on worksheets.
Approximate Length of Unit (days, weeks)
I would think this would take approximately 5 days total
Goals:
The students will use 2 different technological modalities to demonstrate and share their
knowledge of algebra with other students.
Objectives:
The students will use “screencast-o-matic” and either googleurlshortener or qrstuff.com
to generate the digital copy of the video as a scan-able link to the information
Lesson Plan Sequence of Events – give day-to-day details:
Day One: introduce students to the project via powerpoint(finished project).Have
students chose a question from a list of problems they would like to solve. Choose a
partner for the project. Provide rubric for completion
Day Two: introduce the technology needed to complete the project. Computer lab. Have
students go to the websites they will need to use.
Day Three: students will write out a paper copy of the solution to the problem, submit to
the teacher for approval for correctness. Plan of delivery of the material: introduction of
the problem, solving the problem, solution, possible hints on how to solve other problems
like them.
Day Four: students will receive back their approved solution and start filming their
videos at home. Students will upload their videos and send them to my schoolwebsite
Google document for grading.
Day Five: we will print the QR codes of the uploads sent and print them at school.
