SAMR provides improved and more advanced lesson plans to engage 21st century students by incorporating technology into their educational lives. Because technology is already such a beneficial tool in their everyday lives, both students and teachers can benefit from more in depth lesson plans utilizing the benefits of technology. For example, because of the accessibility of smartphones with high definition cameras, student can explore a habitat, take high definition photos and videos to present to their classmates to improve their own understanding with interactive technology.

Living in the 21st century I believe it is necessary to have something like this. Technology is an important part of the world and could help enhance any students learning therefore, if there is a way for technology to be used instead of the standard chalkboard and paper lesson I believe it should be used. Also children these days are very good at technology, and I believe if given the option they can amaze us with what they come up with.

Through this book, and a PowerPoint that has been included with the lesson, students will read about animals and their habitats and the needs of living things. Students will also determine the meanings of key vocabulary words and then write about what they've learned. A graphic organizer to help students with their writing and a writing rubric have also been included with the lesson.

Grade 2 Inquiry 4

Geography, Humans, and Environment

This inquiry explores how communities develop and sustain themselves by examining the positive and negative impacts of development on community environments. In considering the idea that communities grow and change over time, students develop an argument with evidence that answers the compelling question “How do we shape our environment?”
