LoTi Level 4Integration- Kids use technology to solve a real world problemThis is a UNIT, or longer than just one lesson! Maybe over a week’s span. • The class brainstorms a way to help people stop smoking. • Using technology, they create a power point telling people why smoking is bad. (with help) • Included in the power point are video clips and pictures that kids took of each other. (with help) • The kids help arrange a time to have parents and friends come in to watch the presentation. • The kids mail out invitations to people they want to come.
LoTi Level 5Expansion- Community is involved in process or solving real world problem. • The kids create a presentation on why smoking is dangerous. • Medical Doctors, Nurses, and Firemen are invited to come in and inform kids about the dangers of smoking, and the kids take pictures and video to feature in the presentation. • The kids provide the Community Helpers with a copy of the presentation to show to the community.
Where to start? • Here are a few resources to investigate things you can be doing with technology and kids!

LoTi Mentors • Mrs. Pugh is going to let us come around to all classrooms and see what cool things you are doing with technology! • This will also be an opportunity for us to help or give ideas to those who need guidance for using technology in the classroom. • If you have any great ideas, don’t forget to share them with others in the school!
