This activity would be inconceivable without technology and therefore falls under the Redefinition category of the SAMR Model. The voicethread option is a great way to allow students to present as it is creative and allows them to show what they have learned in a non threatening way.

As we are completing our unit we will be thinking more about all we have learned about animals; their habitats and life cycles.

For this activity you will be creating a voice thread that incorporates all you have learned about 1 biome of your choosing as well as 1 animal that lives their and the adaptations that make them better suited to live there. The voicethread should be at least 5 minutes long.

This activity allows students to take their drawings to the next level which allows for a significant task redesign. I feel this tool will really help them enhance their work.

This activity acts as a direct tool substitute because as opposed to writing their summary, the students will be typing it.

We will be using Linoit to look at pictures of animals in their habitats...except there is a problem. In each picture, there is something wrong. It's up to us to evaluate what is wrong with each of the animals we see (look at their adaptations).

As we spot the errors, we will talk about why they are wrong and volunteers will come up to correct them!

Select one animal we have talked about that interests you. Once you have selected your animal, draw the habitat your animal lives in using Microsoft Paint. After you have drawn your habitat, list 5 adaptations your animal has that helps it survive where it lives.

Create a Venn Diagram using Gliffy that compares and contrasts the physical features animals need to survive in three of the four biomes we have been discussing in class.

Be careful when selecting adaptations!

Read two adaptations (physical features) of sharks in this article:

Create a Tumblr blog post response (on my teacher blog) summarizing the two adaptations you read about and how they help the shark survive in its habitat.

Every organism has a unique ecosystem it lives in. This ecosystem is its natural habitat. All organisms need to adapt to their habitat to be able to survive. Using Google Docs name the 4 animal habitats we have been studying in class and then list 3 adaptations animals may use to help them survive there.

This tech tool, although cool is related to the Substitution level in the SAMR Model because despite allowing for more collaboration, it adds no real improvement to the quality of this activity. It may however, be more interesting to students because they are using tech to create a document.

This task really uses technology in a creative way because it allows students to participate in an activity that would be inconceivable without technology. Students will be completing a "search and find" of sorts but the activity will be interactive and engaging. The technology takes the lesson to the next level.

This tool simply acts as a substitute for a pen & paper Venn diagram.
