Group+1+Tools

from the perspective of the Tools**
 * Looking at Learning

//Please choose a group recorder and have them add notes from your discussion to the// Google doc.

The tools cited for use in this student lesson include a document camera and LCD projector, iPod Touches, calculators and pencil and paper.

//Please ignore the document camera and LCD projector for the purposes of your group's discussion,// and pretend students could actually access the Math Tricks app on their iPod Touches.

**Which tools were absolutely necessary to introduce this lesson and do it?
 * Discuss these first:**

Which tools were superfluous? Could this lesson have been done just as effectively without the use of technology?

If not, did using the technology make a difference?

Did the technology enhance the delivery of the lesson? Did it enhance the student learning? Did it take away from the student learning?

At what level of Bloom's taxonomy were the students interacting with the tools?**


 * Next, please use the chart paper by your table and brainstorm a list of tools (technology or not) you think would make this lesson better.** Please be ready to verbalize how and why it would make the lesson better in your groups' opinion.

//Black, blue, brown or purple markers are best for this list, as some people have trouble distinguishing between red and green from a a distance. Use light colors (yellow, pink, or orange) to highlight, underline or accent.//
