Ideal Target — Students were able to self-select their teams to collaborate with their research and creation of their presentation which included selection of their digital tools to create their presentation.
Approaching — Students will be required to use digital tools to research information, in addition they will need to use technical reading skills to interpret information and implement techniques to work a Microwave. Students will respond to higher level questions and interpret data and justify their decision to include information in the educational presentation geared to instructional level of middle school students.
Approaching — Students had a choice of presenting a presentation in any way they wanted. The student products that went beyond the assignment parameters included: movement, in-depth information, creative use of digital tools, and sound. research and synthesis.
