    Lesson B
    Amy,

    You are absolutely correct. I was so focused on the integration of technology that I left out the important content information. I like the resources you suggested. I will definitely include them in the execution of the lesson.

    Thank you!!

    Lesson B

    Your movie about the evolution of music devices is unique and would be interesting to study. I like the way you provided tutorials for how to use bubbl.us and moviemaker. I would try to find more links for teaching students how to understand scatter plots such as http://www.shodor.org/interactivate/activities/ScatterPlot/ and http://mste.illinois.edu/courses/ci330ms/youtsey/intro.html


    Your outline and lesson plans are drastically different from each other. Your outline supports the academic content very well and shows a true progression of how students need to learn in order to understand scatter plots, independent and dependent variables, correlations, and line of best fit. However, I had difficulty understanding your lesson plans because they did not include enough content learning. Students would love analyzing if and why their favorite music group is the most popular, but make sure they learn how and why. To verify that students understand scatter plots, I would ask them to write two or three justifications about how they know their music artist is popular based on the scatter plots they created in their groups.

    Be careful with using technology as a fun activity because technology is supposed to build content learning. Are your students learning to use movie maker or understand scatter plots? If students do not understand how to read a scatter plot then all the technology is in vain.

    Lesson Plan A
    How does analyzing the benefits and challenges of mp3 players help students formulate data questions about the popularity of music artists?

    Lesson Plan A
    Angela

    I like the different types of technology that you choose to incorporate (bubbl.us, wiki, youtube video) in this lesson plan. I have never heard about bubbl.us for online brainstorming and mindmapping activities, but it looks like a great resource. I hope I can try it in the future.
