 * Best Examples of Instructional Activities with Student Engagement Through Technology **

This project had to include two samples of instruction from Instructional Activities that are taught in the classroom, or of some instruction that you may want to teach in your classroom that you happened to see somewhere else. Of this instruction, these activities had to use technology as the basis to keep students engaged while completing the instructional process. The two samples that I have submitted deal with utilizing SmartBoard Technology to aid students in completing work on an automobile without actually having to work on a vehicle itself. These two samples allow students to use a computer aided program to see how adjustments made to a simulation on the computer will actually come out on the vehicle itself when the work is actually completed. Utilizing this technology will allow students to complete tasks they with to perfom without damaging a vehicle by making incorrect choices on their repair process. Once students have perfected their task, they can perfom the actual service to the vehicle and know the outcome prior to the work being accomplished.

Here is a copy of my what I consider to be my two best examples of Instructional Activities with Technology. If you like working on cars, this might be something that you would like to look in to.

Here is an audio clip of student engagement talking about one of the two subjects included in the word document. media type="file" key="Parsons Student Engagement with Technology.mp3" width="240" height="20"


 * Reflection: ** This was somewhat of an interesting topic to create a page for. As for what I consider a Best Example of an Instructional Activity, technology is something we have to deal with every day. I like completingh the above assignments, but it is sometimes a hassle to complete because of needing the use of a SmartBoard of which I do not have in my classroom. I do have access at school though and have to make sure when working with students we have all of the information needed prior to leaving the Auto Shop to complete these assignments then return to the shop to complete the work that was practiced with the technology used. Once I have a SmatBoard in the Auto Shop, it should make this Instructional Activity even that much more engaging because we can view what changed we want to make and see on the vehicle exactly where to make the adjustments.
