What is the importance of incorporating technology into a lesson plan?

We Answered:

FROM A POLICY STANDPOINT: Intergrating technology into the curriculum is one of the requirements of the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001. Without it being demonstrated in the lesson, school districts place themselves at risk for loosing (or not receiving) federal funds for technology. Therefore, it will be pushed and pushed and pushed in school districts.

FROM A DIGITAL CULTURE STANDPOINT: Students use technology on a regular basis (ie, I-Pods, Myspace) and it impacts every area of their lives. It would be unfair to the students not to have those resources used in education when it is available in every other area.

Remember, technology is a vehicle to assist with instruction and not a reason to ignore proper, effective teaching methods.

I need ideas for a lesson plan for 1st graders that involves plants and seeds.?

We Answered:

The best lesson would include planting the seeds. Beans and peas sprout pretty quickly, especially if you soak them a couple hours before planting. Hands on. You can watch them and measure their growth.

when you copy paste these 2 sites, you need to correct the space i put between the e and x in explorer, and the space i put between the s and a in satellite.

we use satellites all the time to get perimeters on earth. they have electronic that determine perimeter sizes automatically, with programming that fills in operation functions in the devices. like a math problem being done by a computer, except it is getting and transmitting real life information, like scanning for weather patterns over a specific area.

the computers can either calculate that area, or you can use the intel form the computers to effectively perform a separate operation.

these link have alot of different information related to technologically acquiring perimiters and areas, for purposes from a student project to global satellite operations.

good luck. it's all here online, just gotta know the right word to say.


personally i wouldnt spend too much time at those sites since they dont directly tel you what you need, but they can probably help you find some way to intrest the kids.


nasa should have a few kid friendly videos that will discuss ow they drive the mars rovcer around, it obviously has a radar for determining landscape and distance or they can program it to search or operate in a specific perimiter, alot of UAV's unmanned areal vehicles need perimeter programming to determing how far is ie:3 miles, and to kep them from flying over or into the wrong moountsain.

check out uscg uav tech and alot in navy uav tech info. maybe some cool vids at

Where can find a suitable lesson plan for young students on how to create a logo for a school?

We Answered:

1. Display samples of logos and ask students to guess what businesses and/or products that they belong to.
2. Have a class discussion on the noticeable similarities in the logos (if any). Ask the questions such as: Do you think these logos have had an impact on you? What colors, shades, style do you notice are used the most?....
3. Ask students to make up a business or a product that they would like to design a logo for. Ask older students to write a paragraph on the name, the audience, and the purpose of the business/product. Also ask students to write about what kind of image that they are trying to present through their logo.
4. Using a drawing program, ask students to create a logo for a business or a product that they have thought of.
5. Mark for clarity, creativity, effectiveness, and relatedness.

Tim Said:

Can anyone provide me with a good lesson plan website for integrating technology in K-4?

We Answered:

Um, my answer isn't as complex. I was going to say try www.quia.com It is an online game site that you can personally design interactive activities to review your current curriculum.

Another one would be www.webquest.org. You can find all sorts of webquests for all ages for all sorts of topics.

Gilbert Said:

Prepare a complete lesson plan for the topics of subject Information and Communication Technology (ICT)?

We Answered:

Sorry, I am not about to do your entire homework assignment. You should take this question to homework help and maybe find someone there who has loads of time on their hands and willing to do your work for you.
