__ Joint Statement __ This task requires us to incorporate ICT into our ideal subject area through planning, developing and publishing an activity for four lessons. Through the use of a project plan, we will each play equal and important roles in the production of our lessons. A mind map will be used to help us to relate our ideas to the relevant curriculum. For the preparation of our presentation we will need to create a Forward Planning Document as well as a Lesson Plan for the lesson we will be presenting. The lessons we will be presenting will be closely related to ICT, as we utilise the technology we have present to us. Lastly in the planning stage we will show how our project is underpinned by evidence-based lesson based learning theory. ====‍In the proto-typing we will need to present one of our four lesson activities to the class for up to 40 minutes. For this stage a lesson plan will be completed and handed in prior to presentation. Our activity will generate debate about a healthy lifestyle, which choices are good and which choices people think are bad. Our discussion will model the effectiveness of integration as we enhance our learning teaching with the help of the smart board and internet. For our presentation we will use a variety of internet sources in order to deliver our topic and reflect on the teaching and learning strategies that are used.==== ====‍The final stage of this task is to publish, we will be publishing our major teaching and learning resources. Our resource is enquiry orientated as we are asking students to research drugs and a healthy lifestyle to create their own understanding so in future they will make the right choices. Our project is aimed at a year 6 class. Finally we will post our URL on the wiki space once we have published our web quest.==== ====‍Over 4 lessons our project will integrate ICT into the curriculum, and engage all students to develop an understanding of how to live a healthy lifestyle and make the right choices when faced with drugs. Our learning will all be linked to an established ICT theory, Howard Gardner's Multiple Intelligences Theory.====

Forward Planning Document



__ Statement of use of ICT __

In our project we will use the internet and the smart board but in addition to this we will also be using ICT through the form of YouTube, Google (to research the dangers of smoking and other drugs), Healthy Kids and Wordle. We chose to use Wordle because it is a different way of brainstorming ideas other than the usual way of minds maps or inspiration. It's a good way to brainstorm ideas on healthy lifestyles and illicit drugs, easy for a year 6 class to revise. We felt that when teaching about such important subjects of smoking and alcohol it is necessary to show the students the dangers of them. Using YouTube we show various advertisements about illicit drugs to help students develop an understanding. We thought to use Healthy Kids to creatively inform students of how other people feel about smoking as they search around a town (Smokesville) for answers. Google is important for our health lessons as we encourage students to look for shocking answers, e.g. what goes into a cigarette? how many people die drug related deaths? The smart board will be used in our final health lesson, healthy lifestyle choices. With the students help we will make an interactive health calendar full of proper diet, exercise, perfect for a growing teenager. The students will make up their own programs to carry out as they enter an important stage of physical development in order to stay healthy and fit. __ Learning Theory __

For our lessons on Health we chose to underpin our project towards Howard Gardner's Multiple Intelligences theory. We chose this theory because we strongly support that children develop understanding and meaning in a variety of ways, therefore we need to use a variety of intelligences. Students will learn visually and spatially as they interact through all the ICT, the creativeness of the task and online work throughout the project. Students will learn logically as they recall their prior knowledge of illicit drugs (smoking), interpersonally as they work in groups discussion and tasks and logically as they discover what materials are in a cigarette. Most importantly they will develop their own understanding and view on smoking as they research information linguistically as well as intrapersonal through you tube videos, and various activities from smokefreekids.com. Our aim is to use technology to our advantage to cover most of the intelligences in order to help students develop a good understanding on how to live a healthy lifestyle.
