My class consists of 25 8th grade students, both males and females, from all different
socio-economic backgrounds.
Personal reflection (discuss how the activity you designed covers TPACK/SAMR
principles):
This activity incorporates the modification stage of SAMR, with a little redefinition.
Originally, before modification and redefinition this assignment would have just consisted
of students hand making a paper travel brochure based off of information given to them
by their textbook or other physical sources. Instead, this version of the assignment
requires students to use various online resources, as well as create an original digital
product. Requiring students to use Google Earth to view the location themselves
redefines the original assignment by forcing students to take a more interactive
approach to their location, rather than just viewing it as facts on paper.
