Artifact Description:
An interactive whiteboard is a technology tool that can be used to help engage students through interactive lessons on a whiteboard simulation. SMART notebook is a program that allows for educators to take full advantage of their interactive whiteboard. It has tools and examples that enhance the experience for the student. I created this Smartnotebook presentation for 8th-10th grade chemistry/physics/MS or HS math. This lesson is compatible with standard CC.2.2.HS.D.2 which covers writing equations in equivalent forms to solve problems. This fits into the SAMR model under Augmentation because it provides a new medium to learn and practice dimensional analysis. In this activity, students will review different aspects of dimensional analysis building from more basic ideas to more complex. As the concept increase in difficulty, students are encouraged to incorporate their own creativity. They begin by recognizing proper unit cancelation, then move to recognizing unit conversion. Next, they match the mathematical process of unit conversion to the verbal command of conversion. Students finish the activity by writing their own conversions and their own word problems.
Artifact Reflection:
SMART notebook provided many resources that were helpful in creating a visually appealing and thoroughly engaging lesson. Even though SMART notebook has many resources, it take patience to search for the item needed. This project was enjoyable to make and is clearly a lesson that can be used in a classroom for review or teaching. I hope that in the future, I can create SMART notebook presentations to help engage my students in the classroom. If I were to do this project again, I would concentrate more on a specific part of dimensional analysis that would be tailored directly to my students' needs. This presentation relates to Educational Psychology because educational psychology discusses motivation. With SMART notebook presentations, students will be more motivated because they are more involved.
