Prompt
Read A Complete Guide to Integrated Thematic Units (Roberts, Kellough). Make a list of models and resources to share with your ITU team.
Models and Resources to Share
- Role of Integrated Technology (Page 3): It will be important for the group to determine how we wish to teach the ITU. Will be teach it one week then address the curriculum or will it be a divided day in which half addresses the ITU and the other addresses the curriculum?
- Technology (Page 26): The examples given about the use of technology in the classroom to generate ITUs was extremely inspiring. The models discussed in the section discussed how a small idea had become a nature preserve or an extended study on the North Atlantic. Further each crossed through multiple disciplines.
- Visual Field Trips (Page29): Due to recent budget cuts field trips have become less frequent. By using technology students can visit anywhere in the world with just the click of a button.
- Developing Essential Steps (Page 30): An important resource moving forward that provides a step by step checklist on what to do next on the path to create an ITU.
