+Goals
Begin developing a long-range, interdisciplinary, project-based unit plan that: Integrates Common Core “Standards for Literacy in
History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects”; and
Embeds 21st-century skills
Play with, learn (and even take home!) a few “cool tools” that will help with the above: Flip video camera Ning Google docs Delicious

+Goals (cont’d)
Disabuse: 21st-century skills ≠technology (integration).Technology enables 21st-century
skills.Enhances your teaching and
students’ learning experiencesExpands and extends your
classroom, pedagogical repertoire, disciplines’ relevance, and students’ world

+Unit Planning
Find local problem relevant to your team’s “content area”; outline a unit plan that will engage students in researching, analyzing, and making a “digital intervention” in the issue.
-- Common Core Standards for ELA and/or Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science and the Technical Subjects (Focusing on Anchor Standards in Writing)
-- Cool Tools #3 & #4: Google Docs and Delicious

+Project prompt & outline
Students research and analyze the issue Write short research reports Transfer findings into a digital/online format (e.g., video,
website, wiki, and/or social network) in order to make some sort of “digital intervention” in the issue.

+Student Process
Suggested Project Timeline:
Presenting the problem (Anticipatory Set, Motivation, Inquiry, Constructivism)
Students inquiring into the problem and developing essential questions (Asking Questions, Inquiry, Analysis, Multiple Perspectives, Constructivism)
Seeing the problem through a disciplinary lens (Application, Synthesis)
Students researching the issue: traditional research reports (Research Skills)
Students sharing their research and reconsidering the problem (Synthesis, Evaluation, Reflection)
Students acting on their understanding: What are we going to do about it? (Action, Application, Culminating Project)

+Brainstorm
Your task: Locate a real-world problem related to the (curriculum of the) content area discipline that students can researching, analyze, and make a “digital intervention” in. Brainstorm a list of possible topics with your partner. Winnow this down to one-two ideas.
