The document summarizes a technology integration lesson where the teacher created a jeopardy game using an online website to assess students' understanding of coin values. Students were split into teams and used whiteboards to answer money-related questions displayed on a projected screen. The lesson actively involved students using technology and focused on the learning objective of identifying coin values rather than the technology itself. Creating the game digitally made the activity easier than doing it by hand and facilitated displaying the questions for all students to see.

2. Learning Objective
Standard 3
Students will understand simple geometry and
measurement concepts as well as collect, represent, and
draw conclusions from data.
Objective 2
Identify measurable attributes of objects and units of
measurement, and use appropriate techniques and tools to
determine measurements.
Indicator C
Identify the value of a penny, nickel, dime, quarter, and
dollar, and determine the value of a set of the same coins
that total 25¢ or less (e.g., a set of 5 nickels equals 25¢).

3. Money Mastery
Jeopardy
My class had spent a few weeks
reviewing money during math.
They learned about the value of
coins and how to add pennies,
nickels, dimes, and quarters. For
my lesson, I wanted to find a way
to assess what they all knew and
understood about money.

4. I found the best way
to do this was to
create a jeopardy
game. It was fun and
interactive for the
children, and it gave
the teacher a good
idea of who was
understanding the
material and who
needed more help.

5. I found a website
online that helps to
create jeopardy
games. It can be
found at:
jeopardylabs.com.
This website
creates a jeopardy
template. Then you
go in and
put in the questions, answers, and their values. This
website then creates the jeopardy game for you, and
gives you a new website which contains only your game.
The one that I made can be found at:
jeopardylabs.com/play/money-mastery

6. The jeopardy game
was open on the
computer, which we
then projected onto a
screen so the whole
class could see it
very well.

7. The students were split
into two teams. They each
had their own white board
on which to answer each
question. The team who
picked the question could
answer first. If they got it
wrong, the second team
can steal their points.

8. Examples of questions asked…
How many cents is 2 Nickels?
Mr. Littlefield finds 8 cents on the
ground. What coins could he have
found?
When Mr. Bird bought ice cream, the
cashier gave him back 2 dimes and 1
nickel. How many cents does Mr. Bird
have now?
If Jane has 2 nickels and her mom gives
her 1 more nickel, how many cents does
she have?
What is the color of a penny?
Is it lucky to find a coin with your birth
year on it?

11. Four Principles of Effective
Technology Integration
1. Student Use of Technology:
Effective technology integration typically involves
students (as opposed to just the teacher) in actively
using the technology.
The students were actively involved by
answering the questions presented on
their own white boards.
2. Technology Use is Essential:
Effective technology integration is
essential not peripheral to the learning
activity.
The jeopardy game created using
technology was the whole lesson. Without
it, we would not have been able to do the
lesson.

12. 3. Focus on Learning Task:
Effective technology integration
focuses on the learning task and not
the technology.
Everything was focused on the learning of
counting money and the value of coins. It
was all focused on the objective of the
lesson and not the technology.
4. Added Value:
Effective technology integration
facilitates learning activities
that would be more difficult or
impossible without the technology.
This activity would have been more
difficult without the technology we used
because it helped to display the questions
for the whole class, and it made creating a
jeopardy game much easier then by
making one by hand.
