(I.E: A Sabertooth Tiger character needing extremely large teeth to cut through their food)]]> 2017-10-11 18:16:25 UTC https://padlet.com/abbeym311/eu84jvnq16qu/wish/196162567 abbeym311 https://padlet.com/abbeym311/eu84jvnq16qu/wish/196167537 Students will look at a Google Slide presentation each with an animal on it, and they will have to decipher whether or not the animal lived in the past or lives in the present, and analyze the animal to decide what it's past or present counterpart would be. (I.E: A wooly mammoth analyzed and declared to be connected to elephants.)]]> 2017-10-11 18:24:39 UTC https://padlet.com/abbeym311/eu84jvnq16qu/wish/196167537 abbeym311 https://padlet.com/abbeym311/eu84jvnq16qu/wish/196168792 Augmentation because you can use accurate pictures for each animal represented, and large enough for all to see, whereas without technology, you could do this activity, but you would need to print out pictures of the various animals and just hope that all students can see the material and are fully engaged.]]> 2017-10-11 18:26:38 UTC https://padlet.com/abbeym311/eu84jvnq16qu/wish/196168792 abbeym311 https://padlet.com/abbeym311/eu84jvnq16qu/wish/196169351 Modification because prior to this, students would have to create a large posterboard, where once they write something down it is down for good. With Padlet, as students learn more they can reorganize their information. ]]> 2017-10-11 18:27:32 UTC https://padlet.com/abbeym311/eu84jvnq16qu/wish/196169351 abbeym311 https://padlet.com/abbeym311/eu84jvnq16qu/wish/196169738 Modification because prior to this, collaboration among students would require either multiple word documents that were combined, or fighting for control over a written paper. This way, each student can have their voices heard and work together to create one cohesive project. ]]> 2017-10-11 18:28:08 UTC https://padlet.com/abbeym311/eu84jvnq16qu/wish/196169738 abbeym311 https://padlet.com/abbeym311/eu84jvnq16qu/wish/196170906 Augmentation because this activity could be done with printout pictures, but the google slides allows the activity to be more engaging and easier for each student to see, using their own devices. ]]> 2017-10-11 18:29:58 UTC https://padlet.com/abbeym311/eu84jvnq16qu/wish/196170906 abbeym311 https://padlet.com/abbeym311/eu84jvnq16qu/wish/196172847 Students will watch a YouTube video that is discussing a various animal, and then evaluate whether or not the animal would be alive currently or in the past. The students will critique the reasoning of others, and state whether or not they agree or disagree with the choice made by their peer. ]]> 2017-10-11 18:33:33 UTC https://padlet.com/abbeym311/eu84jvnq16qu/wish/196172847 abbeym311 https://padlet.com/abbeym311/eu84jvnq16qu/wish/196185711 Redefinition because the footage shown on YouTube has proven to be extremely valuable and detailed, whereas an activity like this prior to tech would have been a teacher trying to find VHS or DVD clips of the various animals, and then showing each one and trying to facilitate discussion, which would flow much more organically following an internet video clip. ]]> 2017-10-11 18:59:40 UTC https://padlet.com/abbeym311/eu84jvnq16qu/wish/196185711 abbeym311 https://padlet.com/abbeym311/eu84jvnq16qu/wish/196186907 Using a combination of Microsoft Paint and Voicethread, students will create two fantasy animals - one from the past and one with similar features that could exist in the present. Once the students have drawn their animals, they will do a Voicethread to talk about their animals and how they are alike and different, pointing out which features remained constant throughout the passage of time. ]]> 2017-10-11 19:02:11 UTC https://padlet.com/abbeym311/eu84jvnq16qu/wish/196186907 abbeym311 https://padlet.com/abbeym311/eu84jvnq16qu/wish/196187686 Augmentation because students could have completed this activity without technology, with drawing and explaining their creations to the class, but technology enhances this activity by allowing students to create and save their work, and explain themselves without the fear of stage fright / presenting to the class. ]]> 2017-10-11 19:04:00 UTC https://padlet.com/abbeym311/eu84jvnq16qu/wish/196187686 abbeym311 https://padlet.com/abbeym311/eu84jvnq16qu/wish/196193147 2017-10-11 19:17:12 UTC https://padlet.com/abbeym311/eu84jvnq16qu/wish/196193147
