toc = = = Conducting Collaborative Scientific Research using Prezi = In this session, we will be learning about how to use an Prezi as a means to conduct collaborative research. We will begin by participating in a short lesson focused on researching a variety of neurological conditions through the use of the design and presentation tool, Prezi. After reflecting on the lesson through the lens of TPACK, you will create own activity based upon the TPACK model.

Session Objectives:

 * To investigate how Prezi can be used in the classroom to conduct collaborative student research.
 * To explore how one might leverage Prezi for other teaching strategies in the science classroom.
 * To collaboratively develop a rich resource of teacher developed activities around the use of Prezi.

(5 min.) A. First, what are the ways in which your conduct collaborative research in your classrooms? (Scribe on the Wiki)

(5 min.) B. Next, let's observe several examples of Prezis. Take several moments to browse through these Prezis.

- The basics - A little more advanced - Sharing a prezi for collaboration
 * Move, Scale, Rotate
 * Zooming
 * Path
 * Frames
 * Grouping
 * Send Back, Bring Forward

(30 min.) D. Next, we will begin our lesson on using Prezi for collaborative research.

1. First, we will divide into groups and conduct collaborative research on 5 topics by leveraging Prezi. To get started, you must make an account in Prezi. Go to Prezi.com and create an account. Choose "Sign Up Now". You can easily upgrade your account to a teacher license at a later point in time (or now). Make sure you are signed into your account at this point.

2. Next, we will divide into our groups and begin doing research. We will be researching common neurological disorders.

Group 1- Lou Gehrig's disease- @http://prezi.com/5vj8aevdbgyo/edit/?auth_key=py1itb2&follow=zckkvdzid0mv Group 2- Autism- @http://prezi.com/m6uhr1-qpnfg/edit/?auth_key=po3g3xa&follow=zckkvdzid0mv Group 3- Alzheimer's Disease- @http://prezi.com/c7n0wzhyva36/edit/?auth_key=nzy2g3b&follow=zckkvdzid0mv Group 4- Muscular Dystrophy- @http://prezi.com/vapzw0wmf7az/edit/?auth_key=anjw1w7&follow=zckkvdzid0mv Group 5- Tourettes Syndrome- @http://prezi.com/dng0bxedlkrw/edit/?auth_key=7gof1jt&follow=zckkvdzid0mv Group 6- Schizophrenia- @http://prezi.com/0pewuiyp9hii/edit/?auth_key=b1qexdt&follow=zckkvdzid0mv

You will be able to collaboratively work on the Prezi together.

Helpful Hints Regarding Collaboration: - Look over the rubric. - Storyboard your design. - Break up the tasks below. - Be creative and adventurous but make sure your Prezi is logically laid out and easy to follow.

3. To research your various neurological conditions, you should focus on the following:

a. What are the symptoms of the disease? b. What is the biological cause of the disease? c. How is the disease diagnosed? d. What are the treatments?

- Make sure to include the following attributes in your Prezi:

a. Images b. Text (but not too much) c. YouTube Video d. A Path for the Prezi e. Bonus (Frames)

Rubric for Assessing the Prezi:

Let's use TodaysMeet to discuss how this lesson reflects TPACK.

= IV. Do One (35 min) =

Now you will create an activity of your own. To do so, develop your activity in a document based upon the template below and then add it to the Discussion Board.

1. Create a science/health/or other science activity that incorporates an interactive applet and perhaps primary pad. 2. Create a discussion post with the title of your activity as subject line. Paste your activity in the body of the discussion post. 3. Peer review each others activities by leaving comments. include component="comments" page="space.template.Integration" limit="20"

= IV. Debrief =

We will have a scribe take notes on our debrief on this wiki!
