Teaching Points for Sessions in Alignment with Overarching Learning Outcomes
Heather/ Bobby ||
 * Lesson Title || Facilitator Agenda || Participant Agenda || Content Teaching Points || Technology Teaching Points || Notes || Share || Lead Person ||
 * Exploring Google Earth to Enhance a Weather Unit || Lesson 1 Facilitator Agenda || Lesson 1 Participant Agenda || Participants will review the Science Weather Unit within a context of the Science Scope and Sequence. || Participants will download and investigate the Google Earth Application. || Everything we do should be in Google notebook and shared. Once the application is installed, each participant will have time to explore Google Earth on his or her own. At the end of this session, participants will be asked to share some specific implications for use in a 6th grade science/weather unit. || Participants exploring Google Earth should have a format to record their ideas about using Google Earth in a Science Weather Unit. || Raji/ Nalini ||
 * Installing and Exploring Weather Applications on Google Earth || Lesson 2 Facilitator Agenda || Lesson 2 Participant Agenda || Paricipants will discover weather and storm tracking tools (available via Google Earth) that support a weather unit. || Participants will install the weather and storm tracking tools and organize them into folders. || During work time participants explore using various tools. || Present/project ideas for how the downloads could be used into the science/weather unit. || Bobby ||
 * Using Google Earth Tools to Become Hurricane Detectives || Lesson 3 Facilitator Agenda || Lesson 3 Participant Agenda || Participants will learn how hurricane tracker and cloud map can be used to forecast weather such as hurricanes and typhoons. || Participants will use the hurricane tracker and cloud map to predict where a hurricane or typhoon may occur. Participants will record their notes in the word template. || This lesson could/should have a sample end product. ||  || Raji/ Nalini/ Gina ||
 * Using Google to Create a Science Notebook || Lesson 4 Facilitator Agenda || Lesson 4 Participant Agenda || Participants will consider what a science notebook might look like and what it should contain. || Participants will create a Google account and import their Microsoft Word notes into a Google Science Notebook. || Include sharing notebook entries. Allow participants to think about lesson/culminating activity and how a science notebook is used. Collect data in your science notebook. ||  || Elissa/ Shareese ||
 * Designing a Lesson Using Google Earth and Weather Applications || Lesson 5 Facilitator Agenda || Lesson 5 Participant Agenda || Participants will investigate the components of a strong lessons engaging students in critical thinking skills. Participants will develop a lesson using Google Earth and Weather Apps. || Participants will use Google Earth and Weather Apps to create a lesson. || A model lesson to be evaluated must be created. Facilitator reviews sample lesson and weather tools. Lesson will focus on European Lighting Strikes, Cloud Maps, and METAR's Tool allowing students to be Science Investigators. ||  || Elissa/ Shareese/
 * Using Google Docs and Spreadsheets to Enhance Data Collection in a Science Lesson || Lesson 6 Facilitator Agenda || Lesson 6 Participant Agenda || Participants will explore how scientists use data to interpret meaning and enhance understanding. || Participants will use Google spreadsheets to collect and interpret data. Participants use Weather Bonk to collect and analyze weather data. || How can we enter data from Google Earth (appropriate science activity must be selected) into Google Spreadsheets? Bobby can show with a sample lesson how to do Google Spreadsheets and then the participants use the lesson 5 info to input into their spreadsheet. Participants can integrate the Google spreadsheets feature or Google docs feature into their lesson. ||  || Bobby ||
 * Using Place marks, Paths, Polygons, and the Ruler to Enhance a Science Weather Lesson || Lesson 7 Facilitator Agenda || Lesson 7 Participant Agenda || Participants will discover how place marks, paths, polygons, and the ruler can enhance a science weather lesson.. || Participants will explore using place marks, paths, polygons, and the ruler to enhance a science weather lesson. || Participants create a second lesson using these tools and have the opportunity to explore this tool. This tool should be something that allows participants to produce information. ||  || Bobby ||
 * Sharing and Evaluating Lessons Using Google Docs and Spreadsheets || Lesson 8 Facilitator Agenda || Lesson 8 Participant Agenda || Participants will present their lessons and culminating activities for this unit using rubrics and checklists to evaluate their lessons. || Participants will learn how to post lessons on Google docs and allow others to view, discuss, and collaborate. || Lesson are shared ||  || Elissa/ Shareese ||
