In this lesson, students will use the CocoCast app to learn civics and social studies. These lessons are inspired by the San Diego Museum of African American Art’s 3-D exhibit titled “The Buses Are Coming” from August 2022. The lessons in this series will leverage augmented reality (AR) and use CocoCast, an app created by Three Space Lab, to be used on an iPad to allow learners to examine an artifact that would be otherwise inaccessible. The choice to employ AR will allow learners to experience the complexity of the emotions surrounding the bombing of the Freedom Ride bus in Anniston, Georgia. The lesson supports the development of oracy and literacy skills as students learn to evaluate historical events. NOTE: This lesson is part one of a four lesson sequence.

In this chemistry and engineering-based activity, students will take on the role of environmental engineers as they are challenged to investigate the best building materials for Mars. To kick off the exploration, they will look at concrete and other key construction materials used on Earth today, considering their properties, pros, cons, and environmental impact. Next, students will investigate the best way to build structures on Mars. They will learn about 3D printing—which is how structures are likely to be built—and they will consider the natural resources available on Mars that could serve as building materials. They will ultimately develop a recommendation to be used in Martian construction moving forward.

Tools (frameworks) such as TIM (Technology Integration Matrix) can be used to inform the type of support provided in a digital age learning environment. The TIM is designed to assist schools and districts in evaluating the level of technology integration in classrooms and to provide educators with models of how technology can be integrated throughout instruction in meaningful ways to create a digital age learning environment. The model supports and enables educators to design, develop, and infuse digital learning experiences that utilize technology. The goal is to transform learning experiences to result in higher levels of achievement for students. The coach transforms learning experiences to result in higher levels of achievement for students through the use of digital learning frameworks.
