Domain Expectation 1.t

The candidate designs curricula that require students to
integrate subject-related technology


 

Introduction

This exhibit requires that the students use several form of technology. They use computers, the Internet, video cameras, etc. The technology is a tool within the lesson not the primary focus. The students work in teams and alone to learn French weather vocabulary, produce a weather forecast and a television set.

Title

Le Météo Français

Exhibit Explanation

This project meets the domain expectation by having students use technology for review, research and for their final presentations. The "team" uses suggested sites to review and learn vocabulary. The "team" must work together to produce a television set and research weather conditions in francophone countries. The "team" then works together to produce the individual weather forecasts.The major focus of this project is the learning of French weather vocabulary. Technology is a tool in that learning process.

Rationale

This project meets both Indiana Foreign Language Standards and also addresses the goals of our school improvement plan.

Self-Evaluation and Reflection

In a self-evaluation of the teaching methods that were used in this project, I determined that I had used a variety of methods and integrated geography, math, science and technology skills. Also, this project required that students work in a group and individually. This project addressed both Indiana state standards and our school improvement plan. Diversity needs were addressed through student grouping and allowing research to be done by the group. I did find that the scripts that were produced were often not of the quality desired, therefore I need to be more explicit next time this project is used.

How Observed and/or Verified

This project was observed by several other teachers. Two teachers lent students their rooms in order for attentional technology resources to be made available. The results of the pre and post-tests are presented in the exhibit.

Validation of Student Learning

Student learning was validated through pre and post-tests. Students made video presentations and turned in written scripts for those presentations. Additionally, students wrote jounals in which they did a self-evaluation of learning. Pre and post-project vocabulary tests results have been graphed and included. All students who took bothe tests showed increased knowledge of vocabulary.
