Fluharty+-+Guiding+Activity

====**Big Idea: ** Resources are a critical aspect in determining where and how people live. ==== =**﻿The Essential Question: **What causes a person or group of people to need resources and how can they be fairly distributed? = ====**The Challenge: ** After determining the collective resources of your group, identify the resources needed by another group of people and create a plan for acquiring and fairly distributing the needed resources. ==== **Guiding Activity:** After reviewing the technological resources available at school, determine if the resources are critical for education or just conveniences used to enhance education. ﻿Guiding Lesson: ﻿Students will work in groups of three or less. The listed activities will be completed in four computer lab sessions. Before beginning, review this video from Discovery Education about doing [|online research] . Complete the handouts that accompany the video (received from the teacher). Activity One:  Build a technology list for our school. This list should not be restricted to the technology used just in the computer lab but also include those items found in your classroom, the Media Center, the school office, and the cafeteria. Build your list in MS Word (only one list per group - all names indicated at the top) and save it to the class folder with the title of Technology List - Name, Name, Name (where Name is replaced by the first names of the students in your group). Activity Two: <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> Using INSPIRATION, compare and contrast those items we NEED to have and those items that are CONVENIENT to have. Make sure to put your names on it before printing and turning in. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Activity Three: <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> Read these articles on technology use in Japanese schools: <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000099; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline;">[|Differences Between Schools in Japan and America] <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000099; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline;">[|Japanese Students Receive Tablet Computers] <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">and view this video (YouTube Video set up in Safe Video): <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000099; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline;">[|Robot Teacher] <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">How does the technology use in Japanese schools compare to the technology use in our school?
