Curricular Project: Analysis Stage

1. Who is the audience?
• High school students (9th-12th grade)
2. What do they need to learn?
• Goal 
• Create an interactive presentation displaying how to solve systems of complex inequalities using Vuvox or Prezi online presentation software
• Objectives
•  Thorough and complete solution and presentation that can be used by other students to aid in their conceptualization
•  Effective and acceptable use of technology in line with ISTE NETS standards
• Peer review of classmates Vuvox presentations and their use of the technology
3. Create a concept map based on preliminary research
• Products of a series of brainstorming sessions, and are the starting points for the flow charts providing clear directions for the production of the product
4. What are the delivery options?
• Students will use a interactive lesson prepared using iBooks author in order to obtain the concepts covered in this lesson
• Student presentations will be completed using Vuvox or Prezi in order to prepare their interactive presentations to be shared with their classmates
5. What constraints exist?
• The main constraint will be the availability of the computer resources (laptop/macbook cart, computer lab)
• Time will be an issue with the already busy and hectic curriculum that we are asked to cover thoroughly (very limited instructional flexibility)
• Varying levels of learners (mathematics)
• Varying levels of learners (technology)
6. What will the students do to determine competency?
• Peer review of other presentations will be the main gauge for the conceptualization of the instructional goal
• Students will take a quiz following completion of the lesson, and a test following the completion of the unit
7. What is the timeline for project completion?
• The timeline will take roughly 7 classes to complete (90 minute block)
• Completion of Systems of Complex Inequalities lesson in iBooks (2 classes)
• Introduction and Exploration of Vuvox and Prezi (1 class)
• Actual solving of group task - system of complex inequalities (1 class)
• Prepare and execute interactive presentation (2 classes)
• Share and peer review (1 class)
8. What are the classroom/Web learning differences?
• The lesson will not be completed in our traditional teacher and student format.  Students and their groups will be working at their own pace to complete the lesson using the iBooks lesson developed 
• Internet literacy, ISTE NETS standards, Acceptable Use Policy
• Ensuring the proper citation of borrowed resources, images, links, information, etc.
• Monitoring full participation of group members
9. What are the pedagogical considerations?
• Instructions will be presented using a presentation tools (Powerpoint, Prezi, etc.)
• Refresh prior knowledge of inequalities and graphing coordinate points
• Formative assessments will be used throughout class to ensure understanding
• Quiz and test will be developed as a summative assessment of understanding
