__The Role of Technology in Education__ Technology plays an important role in education. We use technology in every aspect of our lives. It is in medicine, it’s in social work, and no even more than it used to be in our education systems. Teachers are continually being encouraged to take technology classes, so their students can benefit from their knowledge. Technology has become one of the most important and vital components to the success of a child’s education.

· Technology has proven to help students achieve in reading and writing. · Students become engage & can often times facilitate parent involvement at home. · It’s a good opportunity not only for the student, but for the teacher as well. · Learn and acquire new skills · Keep up with credential · Improve teaching abilities

Technology creates individualized learning environments for students. It also brings the learning right to your students wherever they may be. So, Technology has served students well because it has provided them the skills and knowledge they need. Technology makes it possible for teachers to reach more students, allowing them the time they need to succeed, and providing our future workfoce with competent, knowledgeable about what they are doing.

Here are some technology examples that you, as a teacher can use with your students integrating technology into your daily teachings.

**__ Google Document __** Google Documents are very helpful not only for the student but for the teacher as well. As a teacher, you can do different surveys to your students and find out so much information about your students knowledge. It allows users to create and edit documents online while collaborating in real-time with other users. Google Docs combines the features of Writely and Spreadsheets with a [|presentation program] incorporating technology.

**__ WEB 2.0 Lesson Plan __**

Lesson: Subtraction Grade Level: 1st Taking Away Monkeys Topic INDICATOR A. Analyze number relations and compute T eachers design, develop, and evaluate authentic learning experiences and assessment incorporating contemporary tools and resources to maximize content learning in context and to develop the knowledge, skills, and attitudes identified in the NETS•S. Teachers: Subtraction symbol **“-**“ · 5 monkey puppets · 1 alligator puppet · Dry erase/ chalk board · “Monkeys and the Alligator” song · Web 2.0 Tool— Game Classroom [] Students will have the opportunity to practice their computer skills as well as their math skills by practicing subtraction problems. Each student will have to get to accomplish to the first level. Students will be able to practice more challenging levels- two and three and I will be able to walk around to check who is having difficulty.
 * BEFORE THE LESSON: **
 * Mathematics Objective ** : The students will be able to model subtraction by separating sets of concrete objects and describe the results using words and pictures.
 * MD VSC ** :
 * C ** . NUMBER COMPUTATION
 * Standard: ** Students will describe, represent, or apply numbers or their relationships or will estimate or compute using mental strategies, paper/pencil or technology.
 * NETS-S Standards **
 * 2. Design and Develop Digital-Age Learning Experiences and Assessments **
 * || C. Customize and personalize learning activities to address students' diverse learning styles, working strategies, and abilities using digital tools and resources. ||
 * Prior Knowledge Needed: ** Students should be able to count and recognize numbers from one to ten.
 * Mathematical Vocabulary: ** Subtraction-taking one number away from another.
 * Mathematical Vocabulary: ** Subtraction-taking one number away from another.
 * Material Needed: **

· Saints (Lowest) · Orioles (Average) · Ravens (Highest) The Lesson 1. Ask students if they remember “Five Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed” song. 2. Ask students what they were doing with the monkeys that were falling out of the bed? 3. Draw a “-“symbol (subtraction) on the board and ask students what this symbol means? 4. Explain to students that we will be using the “–“symbol to take away.
 * Grouping: ** 3 individual groups
 * __ Opening: __**** (5 minutes) **

1. Introduce the “Monkeys and the Alligator song to the students. Teasing Mr. Alligator, “Can’t catch me.” Along came Mr. Alligator quiet as can be And SNAPPED that monkey right out of the tree **. 2. Repeat song with four, three, two, and one. 3. After students are familiar with the song, select 5 students to hold the monkey puppets and 1 to be the alligator.
 * __ Engagement: __**** (10 Minutes) **
 * (Five) little monkeys swinging from a tree,

6. Use the puppets to solve each problem. 7. Explain to students that the alligator serves as the subtraction sign. Just as alligators took the monkeys away, the subtraction sign takes numbers away. 8. After students have mastered subtracting by one, you can continue using the puppets to solve more difficult problems. The alligator should help students remember to take away instead of add. 9. Students will have the opportunity to practice their subtraction skills in the Computer Room after we are finish with the lesson. Each student will have his/her computer and will try to accomplish at least the first level. Each level has five subtraction problems and they can either go to the next level as it becomes more challenging or they can keep practicing the first level. Exploration: ** (15-20 Minutes) ** Three small groups will complete the Skittles worksheet. The **Ravens** will have 10 Skittles and complete a worksheet. They will be answering subtracting questions. If they finish early, they will create their own subtraction problems with using the Skittles. The **Orioles** will do the same worksheet as the Ravens, with no extra activity, unless they finish early. The **Saints** will have four problems. They will use 5 Skittles to complete their problems. They will put Skittles in the box and then draw their answer. If the Saints finish early they will be able to draw more problems. Each table will be given the instructions once they get back to their tables since each group has moderately different instructions. The instructor will provide at least one example for the students so they understand the worksheet. When the students are finished and the instructor has checked the worksheet for completion, they may eat their Skittles. Formative: Each student will have a worksheet to work on individually at his/her desk. This worksheet will give me a feedback if they did learn the concept of if that specific child needs more one-one help. Summative: __ At the end of the week, students will have 10 questions where they have to show me they understand how to do subtractions. They will have to be able to show me their work by crossing out or eliminating manipulatives to get to the right answer. This assessment is to find out if they learned the taught material or do they still need more teaching. We will describe that all the students were subtracting but in a different way. Have one student from each group write on the board one of their problems. The Saints will draw their problem, while the other groups will write the numbers. 1. Ask the students what the “–“symbol means. 2. What was the Alligator doing during the song? Was the alligator adding monkeys? (taking away monkeys) 3. Ask the students what they learned today.
