He sends the picture of the test to his friends who have the same math test later in the day. <span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in; text-indent: -0.25in;">D. Matt spends lots of time using his new MacBook, from the time he wakes up until long after his parents think he has gone to bed. He spends lots of time creating web pages, updating his blog, and playing online games. He usually spends more time talking to people he has met online than to his friends from school <span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in; text-indent: -0.25in;">E. Phoebe buys the new album from her favorite band and burns CD copies of the music for all of her friends. <span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in; text-indent: -0.25in;">F. Isaiah isn’t a good writer and is worried that he won’t do well on Coach Mead’s social studies report. He finds a site with information on his topic then copies and pastes the information into his computer. He changes a few words in each sentence before he submits the paper as his own work. <span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in; text-indent: -0.25in;">G. Alison uses her MacBook’s built-in microphone to record Mr. Myer’s lecture. He then posts the recording on his web page for other students to use as a study guide. <span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in; text-indent: -0.25in;">H. Mrs. Gibson has assigned a computer lesson that is due tomorrow at the end of class. Mary knows that she will have plenty of time to finish the lesson tomorrow, so she decides to watch YouTube videos during class instead. <span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in; text-indent: -0.25in;">I. Samantha just remembered that she has a club meeting after school and forgot to tell her mom to pick her up at 4:00 instead of at 3:00. Sylvia sends an email to her mom during homeroom to let her know of the change.

**<span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif';">Critical Thinking: **<span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif';"> Students are put into two groups and read the scenario out loud. Next each group will be given a appropriate and inappropriate scenario to be debated in class. __<span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif';">Scenario __ <span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">Mrs. Walker is a fourth grade teacher who is introducing a new unit on the American Revolution to her students. She creates a beautiful PowerPoint presentation in which she has photos of famous people and places from that time period. She obtained these photos by doing a Google image search. <span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt 0.5in;">Inappropriate <span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt 0.5in;">Appropriate <span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.25in;">**Assessment:** Students will be evaluated based on the effectiveness of their debate. Students will then turn in the responses to 5 scenarios using complete sentences.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tabstops: list 1.0in; tabstops: list 1.0in;">Mrs. Walker’s PowerPoint presentation, while “beautiful”, gives no credit to the source of her photos. She does have a slide that says “photos obtained from Google”, but she has not cited the individual sources of each photo because she doesn’t realize there is an individual source. She assumes that Google posts all of these images.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tabstops: list 1.0in; tabstops: list 1.0in;">Mrs. Walker’s “beautiful” PowerPoint presentation is made possible by the images she has gained from many different web sources. She acknowledges the source at the bottom of each photo that she inserts into the PowerPoint. She also makes it a point to explain this to her students.

**<span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif';">Homework: **<span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif';"> Create one appropriate and inappropriate use of technology. Be prepared to share with the class.

**<span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif';">Accommodations: **<span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif';">Students will work individually and with small groups that are selected at random.

**<span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif';">Connection to Friere’s 7 Steps: **<span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif';"> Friere’s Theory of Transmission states that a teacher must learn about and from students so that knowledge can be constructed in ways that are meaningful to the student. The teacher must become learners and the students must become teachers.
