BACKGROUND:
For this activity, I chose to incorporate a web 2.0 tool
into my Greatest Engineering Achievements Unit. The unit of study is based off of a web site that contains a ton of information about the 20 innovations.
In the past students selected one of
the 20 engineering achievements and created an information display using foam
board as their medium. They were then
required to research their topic, create text, graphics and assemble the display. After the informational displays
were evaluated, I would post them throughout the room. I’ve wanted to come up with an alternative
method for this activity that would save money on color printing and the costs
associated with making a quality display.
After exploring several web 2.0 tools, I felt that Prezi would be a
great tool to accomplish this task.
GOAL:
The goal of the engineering achievements activity is for
students to gain a better understanding of the innovations/innovations that
shaped the 20th century in our world.
OBJECTIVES:
Students will:
1. gain an appreciation of engineering achievements
that impact our lives today 2. understand that most inventions have both positive and negative impacts on our environment
3. create an informational Prezi that will be
shared with classmates

ASSESSMENT:
My students receive a summative grade for a test they take at the end of this unit. I think this would be a great opportunity to incorporate some type of peer evaluation assessment. I feel it is great for classmates to offer a grade and suggestions for improvement. This might, in turn, motivate students to do a better job.
