IPT 287 TPACK Questions

Content

The content I will be using in my lesson is that they can identify the major physical features of the regions where ancient civilizations flourished.  I'm going to teach them about Mayan, Aztec, Greek, and Rome ancient civilizations.

Pedagogy
The pedagogy I will be using is I will introduce these ancient civilizations to them and teach them a little about each civilization.  We will talk about the environments they lived in and how the environments they lived in would affect how they live and what their culture would be like.  This would fit into the content by the content they are learning is the major physical features of the regions where ancient civilizations flourished.  I will use direct teaching instruction to teach them the basics and then do a lesson on guided learning where they will do the assignment of looking at the pictures using google earth.

Technology
The technology I will be using is google earth.  Students will not only get to explore and see where each civilization lived, but also look at structures they built through wikipedia and pictures.  They will use these pictures to compare and contrast the different types of architexture that existed in each culture.  This ties into the content and pedagogy by they are learning about different ancient cultures through google earth.
