Lesson Design:• Teacher created short tutorials while
teaching the concepts• At the end of the unit, asked students to
work in pairs to create their own tutorial• Students planned and scripted their
projects• Students recorded on iPads
Objectives:• Solving equations• Assessing understanding in math• Reviewing lesson
Technology used:•Educreations “app”•Show Me and ScreenChomp are similar apps
