__**Phase 4: Design Integration Strategies**__

//**What kinds of instructional methods are needed in light of the content objectives of student characteristics?**//

Problem Based Learning, investigation, question and response, relevant extension, supported information, sharing, and simulation through experience are all types of instructional methods in this unit. It is a discovery-based unit but also provides the necessity for modeling and support via the teaching component. The unit relies on student’s interest and the need for technology in our lives and especially education.

 //**How can technology best support these methods?**//

The concept here is learning through experience. The aim of creating a final presentation means that the PBL objectives continuously become refined or experienced until a worthwhile educational result is attained. Technology is the medium by which the discovery and the presentation are based upon. It is also the means by which resources will be availed to the students. The online capacity then serves as the means for information and also the way in which the information will be effectively presented. Offering different tools to use for the presentation offers students the approach to see that technology is multi-faceted.

//**How can we prepare students adequately to use technologies?**//

The point of this lesson is to provide a base of knowledge in presentation tactics utilizing technological media. By providing links to resources and directions we equip each student with the preparation and ability to control and manipulate their presentation quality. That said, we do not seek to prepare the students for how to use the technology in which they will be utilizing, learning about, and explaining through the presentation. The point is that they learn and collectively cause others to do the same.
