My unit that I am teaching is on inventors and technology for third grade. Students will be brainstorming about how we use technology in our homes, school, and communities. They will also be learning about some famous inventors and how their inventions have changed and helped our communities over time.
One integration of technology I will be using in this unit is that students will create their own power point. After brainstorming several inventions in technology and visiting websites with different inventions such as http://www.kidcyber.com.au/, students will create their own invention of something they think is needed in the community. The power point will include the name of the invention, what the invention does, why it was invented, and how much it will cost. Then, each student will create a model or draw a detailed picture of his or her invention.
