1. Kelsey Parker Frostburg State University Intern I Spring 2013 Teaching with Technology

2. Background: -6 th grade -Social Studies -Braddock Middle School -Geography Lesson -“Map Elements”

3. Introduction: My classroom at Braddock didn’t have much technology. There was a computer with very limited internet access, a projector, and an overhead. To perform this lesson plan with my students, I took my co-curricular class to the library to use the projector and computer lab. The lesson was about map elements. This group of students are very mixed with ability levels. The lesson being taught was a review from their Social Studies classes in grades 3-6.

4. Instruction: Below is the link to the instructional part of the lesson. We used the computer and projector to display information to the students. https://www.dropbox.com/s/88qbv8cjphg9a1g /M2U00071.MPGhttps://www.dropbox.com/s/88qbv8cjphg9a1g /M2U00071.MPG
