Interactive Whiteboard Lesson

 SMART Board Features: YouTube Link, Turning the page of presentation, moving an object as an answer on the page

NETS Connection (Student): Critical Thinking- solving and defining definitions of Bill of Rights and Constitutional language
Research and Information Fluency- Listening and applying a rap music video connection to the Bill of Rights and their own personal lives through digital understanding. The comprehension of the video's information connects to processing data (from the video) and being able to identify different Bill of Rights.

NETS Connection (Teacher): Model Digital Age and Learning- as they listen to the video they will see the connection between technology and history, the combining of music, listening and comprehension through the internet, specifically a You Tube video/rap. I will be demonstrating the technology and connection to the internet, and showing the students how technology can be utilized in daily lessons. I am collaborating with students and giving an example of how technology can be accessed easily through the SMART Board.

Use of the SMART Board will enhance learning especially in the subject of History because sometimes the subject of history seems to have a "boring" connotation. When technology is integrated into the classroom it allows the students to connect in a modern way to what they are learning, it is something they are comfortable using therefore the exposure with the SMART Board gives both myself and the "students" a new and modern perspective that connects them to the Bill of Rights and creates an exciting environment to learn about their own Rights as US citizens with the help of technology.
