helps in offering that variety in teaching strategies. In John Deweys article, A Voice From The
Past Calls For Classroom Technology, his research showed that 86% of the respondents said
they believed the Internet was a valuable means for teaching and learning in schools and that it
was a vital tool for developing the skills for the next century. We, as a school, need to prepare
children for the real world and real life situations. Every workplace has technology, every future
school they will attend has technology, and their homes are often equipped with technology. We
are putting children at a disadvantage by not having technology integrated into our curriculum.
Abandoning our use of technology will be abandoning the students, which abandons the parents
who send their children to our school because they trust us to have our best intentions in mind
and to give their children the best education we can. Can we honestly look them in the eyes and
tell them we are doing that once technology is cut out of the school?

Technology Standards
There are technology standards at the District, State, and National Level. These standards impact
educational instruction across all grade levels, and these standards impact instructional choices.
engaging with learners of other cultures. Instead of grades 3, 5, 8, and 12, these standards have
grades 2, 5, 8, and 12. These standards are more recent, for they were adopted in 2010. The ISTE
standards found at http://www.iste.org/standards/standards/for-students, consist of 7 standards
for the students. One thing that stood out in these standards is the creative communication, which
encourages the student to creatively express themselves. Like the other two lists of standards,
these encourage problem solving and learning and working in an interconnected digital world.
What was similar between the ISTE standards and the Comp Tech Standards of Nevada were the
encouragement of broadening their perspectives and collaborating and working together.
Lesson Plan
Technology Content Standard Addressed: 2.C.2.1 Use digital resources to learn about
places, people, celebrations, and maps.
Other Content Standard Addressed: (5)9.3 give organized reports that demonstrate a clear
point of view and incorporate multi-media
1.0 The World in Spatial Terms Students use maps, globes, and other geographic tools and
technologies to locate and derive information about people, places, and environments.
Objective: Lesson objectives are the specific outcomes you are hoping to achieve in the lesson
that is being taught at that specific time.
-Students will be able to navigate through Google Earth on the computer and record their
observations.
-Students will be able to research the culture of that country, and record their research.
-Students will be able to put together, in a group, an organized powerpoint report that contains
their Google Earth observation, holidays the culture celebrates, the traditional food, and 5
interesting facts about that culture.
-Computers
-Powerpoint

-Microsoft
-Google Chrome
-Introduce lesson: Students! Today I am going to show you how to navigate through Google
Earth. How many of you have been on it before? I know we have explored our Earth as a class,
but today you will be exploring on your own, so you need to know how to do this.
-First, open Google Chrome. Google Earth will not work on safari, so make sure you open
Chrome. Next, you type in Google Earth into your search bar, and click on your first link, and
then a screen will pop up. Click on the first link titles Launch Google Earth. Once it is done
leading, click on the search symbol in the left hand column. Type in a city in another country, or
the country itself.
-While you explore that country, I want you to take notes of your observations. You can take
notes in Microsoft Word. Note if it green, if there are a lot of building, if it is flat or
mountainous. Can you see a lot of people? Are there many roads? Bodies of water? Things like
that.
-Once you are finished, I want you to go to Google. I want you to research these five questions:
*Write them on board*
- Next, I want you to, as a group, put together a powerpoint with everything we talked about:
- and I want you to add pictures! Of the country, of the food, of the people
- Does everyone understand the project? Does anyone have any questions?
- Each group will be presenting when the project is finished. If you have any questions, raise
your and and I will come to you, or feel free to come to me!

For presentations:
Have students open their power points on the computer attached to the projector or big screen.
Assessment: (Tell how you will specifically grade student work or progress.) Review the
assessment material within our text, or from the textbook you used during your Intro courses at
CSN so that you can clearly define the method you will use for assessment of the lesson.
The students will be graded on their ability to use technology to gather the information needed.
Their cooperation with one another and team work will be taken into account when grading. Put
grades into the online grade book, and note why they got the score they did incase questions
arise. Also hand out evaluations to each group at the end, stating their grade and complimenting
the good, while advising if they should of included something or changed something.
