Final Project for Educ 572 * Integration Plan for 21^st Century Classes

Note: Final projects are grouped into (4) categories! You are required to select (1) from each category.

Review all of the projects before selecting (1). Only (4) of (16) the projects are to be completed.

The second group of projects involves investigation then selecting a content area for an integration plan.

ReadPlease-NaturalReader, Simulations-SS Central, Kapili & (101) Science, Interactive Mathematics

Carefully review all of the provided choices below then decide on which of the choices is most appropriate.

Remember the selection should involve a type of HW, SW, and Internet (WWW) for classroom integration.

What you are looking for is a specific resource that can be adapted and presented within a K-12 classroom.

After selecting a category then complete a specific integration plan. (Suggested plan at bottom of page!)

Submissions for 2^nd group includes a specific resource listed below and a 1-2 page created integration plan.

Categories within this 2^nd group:

@ ReadPlease-NaturalReader: http://www.readplease.com/ (<= Best) http://www.naturalreaders.com/download.htm

RP & NR web sites provide a FREE download of a Text to Speech application. Download, Investigate and Put it to use!

Download RP or NR and install then investigate functions then insert text documents then create integration plan.

@ Simulations-SS Central: http://www.eduplace.com/kids/hmsc/content/simulation/ http://www.socialstudiescentral.com/

The Simulations web site has many K-6 simulations. SS Central web site has various MS/HS content resources.

In K-6 Simulations investigate topics then create integration plan! In SS Central investigate topics then create plan.

@ Kapili Science & 101 Science: http://www.kapili.com/ http://www.kapili.com/topiclist.html (Science 101 )

The Kapili Science has materials from all natural sciences (K-4)! The 101 Science has many topics for MS/HS!

My suggestion is to investigate either choice then select (1) or more content resources then create integration plan.

@ Interactive Mathematics: http://www.geogebra.org/cms/ http://www.geogebra.org/book/intro-en/ ( NN )

The GeoGebra web site is an interactive arena for Geometry & Algebra! On left Click Screenshots & Examples to view.

For in-depth GeoGebra see FREE activities in second link! Investigate Geometry & Algebra then create integration plan.
