The document provides an overview of how to integrate various technologies into math and science lessons, including using digital cameras, online math games and tools, video resources, and communication platforms. Safety guidelines for internet use and copyright laws are also addressed. A variety of assessment rubrics, lesson plans, and webquest ideas involving math and science concepts are presented.

1. Math and Science Spotlight
Presentation
By: Codey Harrison, Mike Anderson, Krista
Stevens, Rachel Mohr
IDT 285 Section 3

2. Computer
● Digital Camera used to take pictures of
nature and make slide show
● Scan imprints of leaves to use in slide show
● Make a video of experiments
● Use computer software to practice math

3. Communication
● watch videos of experiments that you can't
do in class.
● do a skype call with another class and play
jeopardy.
● use the internet to research on science
experiments

4. Tools
● have the kids use excel to record data
● type up theories on microsoft word
● use word for writing up their own word math
problems
●

5. Multimedia Tools
