Technology Tools: List each technology tool that adds value. Write an added value statement for each. Include Web sites that add value.

﻿ ﻿ ﻿ For this lesson, we will use the following technology tools: * **Added Value sites** - KidHealth.org, YouTube - Human Body , How the Human Body Works - interactive site  These sites are more interactive and student-friendly than the worksheets and textbook provided by the district, thus student-engagement will increase. * **Skype** - The class will participate in a video conference with a local doctor who will talk to the students about healthy eating habits. ﻿This enables the class to have a virtual speaker, providing an "expert" opinion outside of school. ***Google** **Docs** - Each student will share a link to a healthy recipe. ﻿This adds interactivity and knowledge sharing. ***Twitter -** While each group is work, students will "tweet" the teacher if he/she has a question. Added engagement through social networking. ** ﻿ ** ***Classroom Response Systems -** Students will use "clickers" to answer review questions pertaining to the human body. ﻿Provide instant feedback and self-evaluation--increase motivation.  ***Blog -** Each student will use the class Blog to reflect on their learning experience throughout this unit. Individual expression and knowledge sharing through a public forum--increase awareness of writing for an audience and purpose. ***Wiki -** each group will contribute to the class Wiki by adding information about the human body and health. Knowledge-sharing in a social forum--awareness of a real-world audience and influence on others.
 * Projector and student computers are needed for this unit. ||
