TECHNOLOGY INTEGRATION FOR MEANINGFUL CLASSROOM USE
**A Standards-Based Approach** ** Daily Lesson GAME Plan – Digital Storytelling ** • identifying and examining criteria for evaluating music performances and compositions. * Creativity and innovation o Research and information fluency || || Students will use web research and wiki collaboration results on job descriptions of a variety of careers in music production to create a digital story presentation using Microsoft Power Point or Movie Maker. The presentation will be the final product of the research and will be the framework that will drive instruction for the remainder of the semester. Students will use their research to develop, produce and perform in a concert setting.

E - 1-3 days || A - Introduce activity for collaboration. Start with group discussion on why collaboration is needed; to share research findings with fellow classmates in order to combine resources. Students will spend remaining time organizing research.

B - Students will place research into outline format for wikispaces placement. This will allow for ease in access of information between the two classes.

C - Students will place formatted research on class wikispace.

D - Students will review research from the other class and leave positive comments in the discussion section of the wikispace. Comments are geared to encourage the work completed and begin combining research to one final document.

E - Students from both classes will begin moving and combing all content into one final document using comments as guide. || A - Research findings

3 – 5 days for research

2 days

2 days || Introduce activity for research. Start with group discussion on pre-knowledge of what components are needed to put on a “rock” concert, why they are needed and why they are important. // (“Rock” is used interchangeably with any music genre, used here for ease) // Included elements are: music, stage, sound system lights, staging, performers, etc. Have student write answers on Promethean Board for future reference. Develop a glossary of terms and their potential definitions.

Conduct research in computer lab. Students will work in small groups to research one element of needed components following the research checklist. Lesson steps will be posted on music class web site for at school and at home access

Students will create a simple power point presentation to share their research with the class. This will be used to compare with our first discussion, clarify our glossary of terms and identify any additional research that is needed.

Share power point presentations and clarify each glossary component. || Promethean Board

 * MONITOR ||


 * Ongoing ** **assessment(s):** Daily review goal for each step of the lesson, self monitor timeline and checklist.
 * Accommodations: ** Students will work in groups of 2. For students with reduced work IEP’s, modify work load to give prompting questions to answer instead of open-ended research.
 * Extensions: ** Students who need extension activities can include in their research a brief example of their element in action; ie. Stage designer – develop a 3D or digital model of a stage design, etc.
 * Backup plan: ** If research is struggling, regroup and have an additional group discussion to refocus the intended research results, clarify any confusion and go over all previous class discussions. If computer lab time is not available, proceed with lesson on a group basis. Use Promethean Board with internet access to research each component while students take notes. Modify checklist to accommodate broader topics to avoid lack of engagement.


 * EVALUATE AND EXTEND ||
 * Lesson reflections and notes: ** Lesson will be evaluated by research checklist and timeline.
