Methods
Introduction:
1. First we will discuss uses of spreadsheets

2. A payroll with three records will be opened and cell contents identified.

3. Discussion on the data necessary to complete a payroll.

4. Request that students perform actions such as cell alignment, formatting cells,shading cells, placing borders around cells etc. individually.

5. Request that students exhibit knowledge of renaming worksheets,deleting worksheets, adjusting row heights and column widths etc.
Engagement:
1. As a class we will add one record of data.

2. Each student will verbally add their record (fictitious); the payroll now contains 10-12 records.

3. I will demonstrate formula building, copying, pasting and printing.

Class Practice:

1.Students will complete the payroll (pay).

2. Overtime, bonus will be added to the spreadsheet (use of absolute value)

3.They are encourage to look on each others screens and speak out loud.

4. Students will be given opportunity to print (print preview).

Independent Practice:

1.Students will create a spreadsheet from scratch(grocery budget,address list or book inventory a book inventory

2. They will create, copy an paste formulas and functions.

3.They are encourage to look on each others screens and speak out loud.

4. Students have been asked to complete a detailed budget exercise to exhibit gathered knowledge of MS Excel.
Accommodations (Differentiated Instruction):
1. Slow typists - they will be able to Open my completed spreadsheet (as emphasis in this class is not on typing)

2. Quick to create - we we add the overtime calculation and bonus (using absolute value)

3. Experienced in a payroll (completed examples of advanced payrolls will be on shared drive, to be explored during breaks)
Learning Checkup:
1. I will walk around the room as they create and work on their spreadsheets

2. Challenge students by changing the data (pay rate)- does the 'ripple down' effect occur?
Wrap Up:
1.Verbally as a class (encouraging them to speak out loud) describe (while I write on board) the steps to create a spreadsheet.

2.Students will reflect on what they have learned.

3. Teacher will review each students assignment individually to insure that they have a clear understanding of how to operate Excel.

As an instructor, I have never done this. The students have always evaluated me! Students will be evaluated using a rubric. I will forward each student's completed rubric via email.

How to create interactive PowerPoint presentation tutorial

PowerPoint will be used for the transformative part of the unit where students use group findings to work collaboratively to prepare an interactive presentation for display on a kiosk in the school foyer. The presentation will provide the students with the opportunity to exercise their right as citizens of the community to critic local council waste management practices. The presentation will use interactive buttons for each regional council, developed by individual groups, to show how other regional councils are managing waste using their landfill models. This will lead to an infographic demonstrating where the local council is positioned compared to other councils.

Thanks to Kelly McDonald and Vikas Mittal for alerting me to the functionality of Padlet as a learning management tool for this unit of work as it provides a range of functionality.

Plan to use Padlet as an interactive online bulletin board for the teacher and students to share ideas and work with each other on the problem-based activity. The Padlet would be used to post revision-based activities as well as post the problem-based activity, the landfill model, the regional council waste strategy and a flow diagram, showing how to access data and populate the model. The students create their own Padlet accounts and post their models on Padlet for comment and review by the teacher and students.

As the students research other council sites, their files or links to websites are placed on Padlet for collaboration with other students. Students are also able to download video and audio onto the site. Students can also use the screencast feature if they have a problem with technology at home for help to resolve. The teacher is also able to post a quick tutorial if they can see that students are struggling.
