The goal is for students to understand the technology design process.
 * Overall Goal/ Purpose **


 * State Standards **

and society. ||
 * **IL.13.B ** || STANDARD: Know and apply concepts that describe the interaction between science, technology
 * **IL.13.B.2c ** || <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">> Identify and explain ways that science and technology influence the lives and careers of people. ||

**<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">Instructional Objectives ** <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">Students will be able to create their own kind of technology that they think would be beneficial to them. Students will use the technology design process to present it. Students will journal about how they think technology will develop in the future.

 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">Materials **

//<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">Focus Attention/Motivation: //<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';"> I will have many technology items that I will show students. I will bring in a cell phone, ELMO, computer, and television. I will ask the students what all of these things have in common. Then I will ask them why they think technology is important and where would we be without technology.

//<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">Instructional Input & Modeling //<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">: I would briefly explain the technology design process and go over the example in the book on the process of a mouse. I would then give examples of technologies and why they are important for certain subjects. Example calculators are important technology for Math; GPS is important technology for Social Studies. A computer is an important technology for English and a scale is important technology for Science.

//<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">Student Engagement/Practice: //<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';"> I would have students get into groups of six and they will come up with some type of idea of what kind of item has not been developed yet, but should be. They will go over the entire technology design process they would need for this item.

//<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">Closure: //<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';"> Students will journal for the remainder time about where they think technology is going and how it will develop.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">The assessment will be the students’ presentation of the technology design process to see how they understand the entire process of technology.
