4 Opening Unit Prezi media type="custom" key="20326990" Updated plan:[|PBI lesson update] || an example of what it is you want students to produce? Or, c) Did you you create two products that do both a) and b)? || The technology product we will be creating for teachers to use is a symbaloo with resources. This does support our instruction well because it will be used to store the information we are teaching. The symbaloo supports instruction well because it allows the teacher to have the resources they need to teach the topic all together in one place. With such a large project having a single place to store all the resources and share them with students is very benefical. The student product will be a prezi, we created an example product that students will produce that will demonstrate how the different disciplines can be studied through the examination of a war. [|Unit Resources] ||
 * **Guiding Questions for your Facilitating Your Project Based Inquiry Process and Developing Your two products of learning (i.e., instructional plan and technology product).** || **Describe learner outcomes, teacher actions, student actions, resources, materials, content, websites, videos, technology as appropriate.**
 * I. What is the compelling question you have regarding content and/or pedagogy? || How can we connect the disciplines we study through the examination of warfare? ||
 * II. How are new literacies featured in your compelling question? || The new literacy featured in our question is the interdisciplinary connections, the use of prezi and discussions on edmodo, symbaloo. ||
 * III. How will you organize or group your students for the PBI? || Our students are organized into teams of about 100 divided between the 4 core classes, science, math, ela, and social studies. For our project students will go through these classes to complete their pbi. Their will be given a partner to complete their final project with. ||
 * IV. What prior knowledge do your students need to have to complete this PBI lesson? What lesson(s) would come before the PBI? || Our students need to have a basic historical knowledge of what war is. We will need to have our computer teacher, teach our students how to create a prezi before we start this lesson so that we will not have to do this when they begin to create theirs for the project. ||
 * V. How will you scaffold and support your students' gathering and analyzing of information? How will you monitor this process? || We will provide example resources and example searches to our students, gradually releasing them to do their own work. By providing students with lots of modeling and practice and daily check ins on their progress we will be able to monitor their progress. ||
 * VI. How will you scaffold and support your students' creative synthesis of information in their PBI product? How will you monitor this process? || We will have students pair and discuss their findings and progress on to edmodo. Students will give feedback as well as teacher feedback. By having them post to edmodo we will be able to monitor their process. ||
 * VII. What intellectual elements in students' PBI product will be evaluated. What forms of assessments will you use (e.g. rubrics, checklist, etc). || Students will be evaluated on the content they include in their prezi. Because this will be an opening activity for the year to show students how connected all the disciplines are we will be grading using a checklist. ||
 * VIII. What is the technology product that will accompany your PBI Instructional Plan? Does it a) support your instruction well, and if so, how? Or, b) is it
