The document outlines educational standards and outcome goals for students to engage in collaborative research and develop theories about the Roanoke colony using various technology tools and resources. It emphasizes analyzing texts, integrating information, and creating presentations to support their conjectures. Additionally, it details the management of devices in the classroom, assessment methods, and planning tools for integrating technology into lessons.

2. Standards
 R5.A.2.3.1: Make inferences and/or draw conclusions based on information
from text.
 E05.B-C.2.1.1 Analyze multiple accounts of the same event or topic, noting
important similarities and differences in the point of view they represent.
 E05.B-C.3.1.2 Integrate information from several texts on the same topic to
demonstrate understanding of that topic.
 E05C.1.2.2 E05E.1.1.2 Develop the topic with facts, definitions, concrete
details, quotations, or other information and examples related to the
topic; include illustrations and multimedia when useful to aiding
comprehension.
 8.1.5.C: Locate primary and secondary sources for the research topic and
summarize in writing the findings.
 8.3.5.B: Illustrate concepts and knowledge of historical documents,
artifacts, and places critical to United States history.

4. Outcome Goals
 TLW use online collaboration techniques to work with
peers to develop a theory of what happened to the
colonists at Roanoke based on evidence they find
through research.
 TLW analyze text to draw a conclusion.
 TLW support theory with appropriate evidence from
various resources.
 TLW find additional sources as research.
 TLW create a presentation to develop and explain his/her
conjecture providing adequate support.

5. Technology Tools
 Mobile Devices permissible by district BYOD policy
 Blendspace
 Accounts
 Collaboration Tools: Linoit, Primary Wall, Corkboard
 Presentation Tools: Capzles, Timetoast, Prezi,
Animoto, Thinglink, Tackk
 Sharing Tool: Edmodo
 Bookmarklets: Kwout, Clippable, CiteBite,
 Classroom computers, ipods, netbooks, ipads

6. Activities
 View the Blendspace about Roanoke.
 Begin developing personal theory and begin conducting
research. Formulate groups based on theories if possible.
Assign group members’ responsibilities.
 Students continue to work and develop their conjecture using a
web 2.0 tool to collaborate and discuss ideas and evidence.
Finalize theory and identify strongest evidence.
 Choose best evidence and how it will be presented. Students
may need or want to create some evidence through the
presentation tools.
 Create presentation using one or several of the web tools
suggested. Submit presentation and collaboration links to
Edmodo.

7. Assessments
 Rubric – for
presentation
and online
collaboration

8. Considerations
 BYOD initiative in the classroom
 Students not participating in BYOD:
 Use of computer lab
 Use of classroom computers
 Use of Netbooks from grade level netbook cart
 Use of school ipods or ipads
 Extra time may be necessary
 Teacher may select specific web tools rather than
leaving the choice to the students.

9. Management of Tools
 Students need to take personal devices home to charge.
 Devices are kept in student desks. Devices may be out if the
device sticker is posted on the board.
 Students may work as a team but may not share devices and
must follow the district’s AUP.
 Students need to access a different device if the one they are
using malfunctions. If problems persist, they will fill out a
“trouble ticket” and place it in the teacher’s bin to note there is
a problem.
 School devices are numbered and students use the numbered
device that matches their personal classroom number.

10. Planning Tools
 ICE Model for Mobile Learning and Technology-
Integrated Lesson Planning
 Technology Integration Planning Form
