TF-III A - 1
This lesson was designed as an extension of a Social Studies assignment in which students researched and reported on a country of their choosing. Productivity integration tasks:
• Download project file from Wiki• Use Google Chrome to access Google
Maps• Retrieve, edit and store a Microsoft
Word document on school network• Paste a screen capture from one
program to another• Copy paste text and images• Use Google Maps to find and collect
data and images• Use Google Maps to discover absolute
and relative location and compute distance

TF-III A - 7
As a “get acquainted” activity, students created “license plates” using PowerPoint’s image editing and drawing tools. They chose clip art and used the Latin Motto Generator to find a slogan that best expressed their individuality.
Each student learned to upload his or her project to the class Wiki to share with classmates.
TF-III B - 1Although SJSJ does not have learners who require assistive technologies, learning in the technology lab is implemented through a Universal Design Learning approach.
Lessons are presented and students demonstrate understanding as:
• Demonstrations• Presentations• Films• Hands-on Projects• Lecture or oral reporting• Podcasting
This is further evidenced through the mixed media approach of the class wikis for each grade
Multi-sensory, interactive applications such as Kidspiration and Spelling City are used extensively with technology integrated curriculum

TF-III C - 1
Students use applications and web research to plan a restaurant opening.
Tasks include:• Determining square footage
needed• Estimating costs• Gathering and comparing data

The 8th Grade Digital Yearbook Lesson unit is designed for students working in learning teams of 5. The majority of students’ time is spent in collaboration, performing hands-on learning within and among teams. Settings include laboratory with one computer per student, library with one laptop per team, outside of school through Kidblog, First Class and Wikispaces, and “on location” while filming the project. Each team began by creating a learning team Charter to evaluate skills and abilities and to create process for resolving conflict. Developed for INST 522
