APUSH Tablet PC Lesson Plan Proposals
__Files__



__Intro__

Students have an opportunity to design a lesson plan that integrates 1:1 use of 3rd-gen Apple iPads. The goal is to find ways to enrich the teaching of American history by putting powerful technological and online resources in students' hands during classroom time.

The basic procedure starts with an idea that a student develops into a lesson plan, which they submit to me as a Word doc using a template. After I review the plan, the student and I will collaborate on refining it, and then the student will expand their original submission into a page on this wiki to guide the class through the lesson.

__Procedure__

1. Have an idea (suggestions below) 2. Download the tablet lesson plan proposal above. 3. Save a new copy of it using this EXACT naming convention: "LastName_LessonPlanTitle.docx" 4. Fill in all the fields in the template. As you develop your plan, erase the explanations I put in the template's fields and replace them with the necessary info. 5. Once your plan is finished, attach the Word doc (and any other files) to an email and send it to me. The subject line must use this convention: "LastName Tablet Proposal: Lesson Title" e.g. Norton Tablet Proposal: The 1968 election and the New Left 6. I'll review your proposal. If approved, I will upload your plan to my APUSH Google Documents folder and email you a link to it. 7. You will need to use your Google account (or create one) to collaborate with me on any revisions //to the Google doc version// of your lesson plan. 8. Once we have a final draft, you will use your Gmail address to create a Wikispaces account. 9. I will give you edit permission to a new page that you will develop into your lesson plan. This page will be where everybody starts on their tablet the day of the lesson. //ANY student/teacher/parent// with an iPad 2 or 3 should be able to open this page and complete the lesson with your guidance!
