Students
will use
the app
on the
IPad to
explore
how life
cycles of

Students
will use the
app to
observe the

Students
will take the
observation

and relate it
to everyday
experiences
they have

with each
of the
different
programs/
applicatio

The
students
will use
the same
programs
and

rest of the
class.

Students
will interact
with the
app to learn
about the
different
types of
rocks and
what it
takes for
each type
of rock to
be formed.

Students
will be
using the
IPad to
study the
rock cycle
and how
the Earth
can be
broken
down to
create
rocks.

Differentiation
The
students
will use a
recorder to
record the
lessons
given by
the

Students
will be
divided
into three
groups.
Each

Other
Reflection:
This matrix opened my eyes to a better understanding of how mobile learning can be applied to all subject areas. This unit
showed gave me more ideas of how I can incorporate technology into all of my different content areas and still create an effective
lesson plan. I feel that mobile learning offers teachers a very large toolbox that they can use to help students create a better
understanding of each content area that they are teaching. As I created this matrix, I realized that there are several different
applications that students can use to learn about different topics. I had a hard time choosing just one application to incorporate in
the lesson. I think that today, students can learn more from these applications because they are so used to using applications in
their everyday lives. This matrix was a great tool for more to used to have in the future to help incorporate mobile learning into
my own classroom.
