Technology Integration for Meaningful Classroom Use: A Standards-Based Approach <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">Daily Lesson GAME Plan Overview of Unit In this unit student will be focusing on research the various types of network systems along with network devices. Student will be using google or any search engine that will give them information or explaination on the research area. This project will be a project-based assessment where student will present their findings in a powerpont presentation or video. This is aimed at help students to collaborate with each other, and share what they have learnt with a perfomace based asssement. Content Standards Networks; Standard 1 (Define what is a network) Networks: Standard 2(StudentS will know the various types of networks used ) Networks: Standard 3 ( Students will investigate which network in used in various environments) for example the LAN (Local Area Network) can be used at home, while WAN is used more to business to communicate with other companies across large areas) Networks; Standard 4 (Studnets will identify the various hardware or software that is needed for a the creation of a network)  Action 1 - Student will be the research using search engines, or books, to gather information.  Action 2 - Students will present findings in a powerpoint presentation, or the creation of a short vedio no more that 4 minutes, explaining that is a network, the types of network, and which is more appropriate to certain types of environments.

Students will used a search engine in classess to research the definition of a network; the various types of network and the various perphireals needed for the creation of a network. Action Preparation before Class – Student would have been exploring the various types of computers and how they relate to each other. We are now at the point of our lesson where students need to understand that the reason why computers communicate with each other, is all credited to the creation of network environments. A senario will be presented to the students about the importance of sharing information and resources within a business environment. Several questions will be answered as to why this is done, and various examples will be given of network systems around the world. A the final project students will be asked to set up a template in presentation software using these slides During Class Monitor Ongoing Assessments: Students will be monitored during the progress of their take home assignment, by ensure they can use email of skype to communicate with the teacher. Students will also email their presentations for review by teacher, using spelling and grammar check, content and design. At the end of this assignment students may be asked to create a blog of reflections, Dr Erthna exclaims that reflections should be used as a dialy check point. (Laureate 2009) Accomodations: Students who may not have access to computer or internet at their homes will br given time to use the computer lab after school hours to get their assignments done. Evaluation: Student will be given a evaluation form the complete at the end of the lesson
