ASSESSMENT
*Assessment Design:* Includes description of assessment and scoring tool/rubric assessing both the content and technology. I will use the Palms to assess how well my students know their spelling words. They will take their spelling test on the Palm using Free Write and then they will beam their scores to me. I will assess how well they can use technology by seeing if they are able to: beam their test to me, correctly title their work using Graffiti, and properly attach the Palm to the keyboard.
*Implementation:* Includes description of how the assessment expectations will be communicated to students. I will explain to students what we are going to do in class that day. Next, I will pass out the Palms and keyboards and have the students attach the Palms to the keyboards. Next, I will explain to students that they need to title their work using Graffiti and they will be taking their spelling test on their Palms using Free Write and a keyboard.
*Product: Explains what students will produce and how it is connected to what they are learning and includes a sample prototype of a finished product:* Includes an explanation of whether you intend to use the student product(s) for other instructional purposes (i.e., sharing, gallery walk, data collection, ongoing instruction). The students will have a spelling test that they will beam to me at the completion of the lesson. I will use the test to collect data on how well they are leaning their words. By doing data collection, I will be able to adjust the number of spelling words the students have based on their progress being made.
INSTRUCTION WITH TECHNOLOGY INTEGRATION
Resources and Materials for Content: Text, books, etc. none
Resources and Materials for Technology Integration: Software, Palm, etc. Free Write, Palm, Palm keyboards
Student Technology Skills Prerequisite skills, if needed: The students will have to already know how to attach the Palm to the keyboard and how to beam to other Palms. *Skills taught in this technology integration activity:* The skills taught in this activity are how keyboarding skills and it will reinforce how to beam an activity to other Palms.
Objectives: After taking a spelling test, students will be able to: attach the Palm to the Palm keyboard, type their words using the Palm keyboards, and beam their test to the teacher Palm. Procedure: 1. Pass out Palms and Palm Keyboards. 2. Next, tell students to open the keyboards and set them up by pulling on each side until they hear a click and then push in. 3. Tell students to attach the Palms to the keyboards. 4. Tell students to turn the Palm on. 5. Next, click on the Free Write application. 6. Next, Click on New. 7. Next, using Graffiti, write Spelling Test for the title and your mailbox number. 8. Then, write in your name where it says "Your Name". 9. Next, tell students that as you call out the spelling words, they will type them in using the keyboard. 10. After students have finished all their words, they will beam their test to the teacher Palm. 11. Next, have students turn the Palm off, detach from the keyboard, fold the keyboard up and close it. 12. Lastly, collect the Palms and the keyboards.
DIFFERENTIATION
Extension Activities: As an extension activity, I had the students write their name and the title of their work using Graffiti. Remediation Activities: Some students need remediation on putting the Palms on the keyboards. Some students also need help with the Graffiti.
