4.4 [|Marshall's View of Federalism]

The way this web site is set up with the resources (background essay, discussion questions, and standards) readily available, makes it easier for the teacher to integrate the information into their lesson plan, as most of the lesson planning is already done for you. I can see how this can be a great value to the classroom. Also, the video component is a great engaging feature that helps to address various learning styles in the classroom.

This resource can be used to introduce the material or review the material.

4.6 The following are two links that I may use in my classroom. They both have to do with technology and how technology has impacted our lives today. Both of these links would fit nicely into my Multimedia course, as part of the curriculum for that course is is looking back at technology and how it has evolved over the years and how it has impacted our lives.

I would have the students view the video and other information on the web site, then have them write a journal entry of their thoughts and opinions. I could also have them create a slide presentation on slide.com to demonstrate their understanding of the material.

 * The civil rights movement in the United States refers partially to a set of noted events and the reform movements in that country that aimed to abolish public and private acts of racial discrimination and racism against African Americans and other disadvantaged groups.(Wikipedia)

=5.4= =Lesson on the fly:= = = =Computer Game and Simulation Technology= As part of my Multimedia Course, students are required to explore material on various technological areas. In the past student have shown a great interest in the Computer Game and Simulation field, which is why this video is perfect, as it gives them great easy to understand information on how to prepare themselves for that field. [] After watching the video, answer the following questions in a Microsoft Word Document?
 * FRAME **
 * Do you like to play video games and look at animation on the computer screen? Have you ever wondered “how do they do that”?
 * Would you like to learn more about the Computer Game and Simulation Technology field, what type of courses would you need to take in college for this field, and how do you prepare yourself to work in the computer game and simulation industry?
 * FOCUS **
 * While watching the video take notes as to the type of courses the students in the video say they have or will take to prepare themselves for a career in the Computer Game and Simulation Field.
 * Why did some of the students decide to pursue a career in that field and what type of projects are they working on?
 * FOLLOW-UP **
 * List some of the courses that students are required to take in a simulation and game development program.
 * How does the professor in the video describe the mission of Wake Tech's simulation and game development program?
 * Based on what you saw in this video, what would be a prerequisite for entering a program like Wake Tech's?
 * What is your overall opinion of the material presented in the video (give details)?
 * Is this a field that you would want to look into?

5.5 Lesson Plan =What Can I Afford?= []

Overview
In this lesson, students explore the costs of various cell phone plans. The rate structures of cell phone plans represent linear functions that students will compare by creating graphs. The graphs will help students determine which plan would result in the greatest savings. Students use these skills to compare checking account options to find the one that best suits their needs. Students then watch a video that discusses checking account fees and services, which will be followed by comparing various types of banking accounts to determine which one would yield the highest returns if the money saved from the cell phones were placed in different accounts.

I can use this video in my Multimedia Course as one of their weekly journal entries. It gives the students information about how technology has impacted society in general not just the people around them.
