Implementing technology in the classroom does not necessarily mean that a teacher needs an expansive app library and a bookmark bar with a website for every occasion. Sometimes, one powerful tool can be used to serve a range of learning needs. In my Honors Chemistry classroom, I use Google Drive in nearly all of my lessons to facilitate inquiry and the 4 C's.

= Angie Sigmon - Shuford Elementary School (Math) = Students are presented with a real world problem where math skills are needed in order to find a solution. They work in a small collaborative group to solve the problem and create a presentation in order to explain how they arrived at a solution. This presentation is then shared among other group members or to class. I provide support and answer questions when needed, but for the most part their learning comes from each other as they struggle through the problem-solving process.

From this site I found the P21 Math Map. I used ideas from this document to jump start most of my math projects.

 * Project-Based APUSH website**

As an ongoing assignment, taking place each week, students will create a website with information learned. The information will come from the textbook, the notes, teacher presentations, and various other sources.

Students will pick an article topic to write about individually and a video topic to film in their pairs/groups. Each week each student will write an article and participate in the filming of a topic. Students will also incorporate 1 primary source into their assignment each week beginning with week 4.
