Lessen plan:
Having a smartphone like iPhone makes life easier because you can use this one device for many things like accessing the internet to read the news, check your e-mail, learn about new movies and tv shows, etc.. . As an international student, I find the dictionary very useful to help me understand words better.. iPhone also makes it easy to use social media sites like Facebook and Twitter. The smartphone is much better than a regular cell phone because you can do so much more than call or text. Description: 1 –iPhone. 2-adapte. 3-projector. Learning plan: I will utilize the: iPhone, Adapter and projector to demonstrate how this plan can be used bay any teacher to teach something to his or her class. Using newer technology like the iPhone is more appealing and interesting to the students than just learning from a regular textbook. The colorful graphics make it more visually stimulating and never boring and it is easy to carry anywhere. The Arabic letters game we mentioned earlier is similar to using a traditional textbook but it is smaller, easier to use and more appealing to the students. It is affordable for the teacher; all that is needed is an iPhone, a VGA cable and a projector or monitor = Assignment 3: Technology Projects: =

 * **C. Practice-** || Day 1
 * **C. Practice-** || Day 1

Teach them why the letters are important in the Arabic language.( introduction) and I will use PowerPoint in this day. 1- How many letters in Arabic? 2- Show the different between the letters 3- Show them a PowerPoint Presentation I have it. 4- Give them worksheet to help them to try writing the letters. 5- Tray to find students who are special needed to give them special attention and follow-up and find out their problems and give them private lessons. It is difficult to find them in first class or first week.

Day 2 In this lessen I will use app from Apple.com

1- We will use apps from my iphone (حروفي). 2- In this app it will show them how to pronounce letters and how to say it. It will be fun for them. 3- In the same this app (حروفي) there is game teach them use a letter in a word. 4- I will spend all this day with this app to improve pronounce skills and how to use the letters in a word. 5- I will foxes for who is special needed.

Day 3 - In the Arabic liters there are three letters vowels (ا-و-ي-). 1- I will teach them what the vowels mean. 2- I will show them why those letters are vowels and give them example. 3- In Arabic, some letters we can say it sometimes and sometimes not like in English (night) (gh) we can write it and not say it. 4- I will explain what is the gamariyyah (moon) letters with "al" and then teach the shamsiyyah (sun) letters with "al." 5- They will watch video about those three vowels letters and the gamariyyah (moon) letters with "al" and then teach the shamsiyyah (sun) letters with "al."

Day 4 - In this day we will use two different apps from my iPhone to review. 1- First app it is (liters and animals) in the Arabic it (الحروف والحيوانات). In this app there are three different animals in every letter a student will choose what the first letters for each animals. 2- Second apps it will review the pronunciation for all letters the apps name is (نان ليلي). In this app we will listen to every letter ,how we can say the letters alone, and how we can say it with the word. 3- Ever student will write his name in Arabic and learn the meaning of his name. 4- In this class there is no test. It will be continuous assessment. || each student a paper to record his understanding of what technology is and his or her ability to use technology. 2. I will tell each student that they will work with their family. By this way, students can not rely on other students to help them. If they want help, they must come to me. 3. Each student will be evaluated by looking at what they did on the first day and comparing it to what they learn on the next days. || looking at other teachers use technology.

1. **Phase I: Determining Relative Advantage--Why Use Technology? **

1-Do I have topics, curriculum objectives, or insights I have difficulty teaching?

Yes, pronunciation of Arabic letters. I taught students who are 9 years old. I found they have problems with pronunciation even though the studied Arabic letters, they still could not pronounce correctly.


 * 1) 2. Are any of the above a good match for a technology-based solution?

I thank if I used some technology in class will help a lot, such as computer or iPhone .
 * 1) 3. What is the relative advantage of the technology-based solution?

<span style="color: #2a2a2a; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">I think the technology will help them to increase academic achievement, because <span style="color: #2a2a2a; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">it is a much needed skill in order to navigate in our society as a whole.


 * 1) <span style="color: #2a2a2a; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">4. <span style="color: #2a2a2a; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Is the relative advantage sufficient to justify the effort and expense of using these solutions?

<span style="color: #2a2a2a; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Yes. Because in any society, educating the people is a primary goal towards success.


 * <span style="color: #2a2a2a; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Phase 2: Deciding on Objectives and Assessments--How Will I Know Students Have Learned? **

<span style="color: #2a2a2a; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">1-What outcomes do I expect of students after the instruction to show me they have learned?

<span style="color: #2a2a2a; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">When a student know <span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">differences between the pronunciations of the characters and know the pronunciation letters and vowels <span style="color: #2a2a2a; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">. this is an indication that they understand.

<span style="color: #2a2a2a; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">2-What is the best way for me to assess students' learning (e.g., written tests, products)?

<span style="color: #2a2a2a; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">The best way for me is continuous assessment because a teacher who know student's level and this is what we do in my country for primary school students.

<span style="color: #2a2a2a; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">3-Do the assessment instruments (e.g., tests, rubrics) exist or do I have to develop them?

<span style="color: #2a2a2a; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"> Assessment tools exist some of them are weekly and daily evaluation, monthly and quarterly. Any teacher can develop these tools using website or a alone.


 * <span style="color: #2a2a2a; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Phase 3: Designing Integration Strategies--What Teaching Strategies Will Work Best? **


 * 1) <span style="color: #2a2a2a; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">1. <span style="color: #2a2a2a; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">1-Will the instruction be single subject or interdisciplinary?


 * <span style="color: #2a2a2a; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">I will teach Arabic letters and the pronunciation of letters and words in the right way to use some technology


 * 1) <span style="color: #2a2a2a; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">2. <span style="color: #2a2a2a; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Will students work as individuals, pairs, small or large groups, whole class, a combination?


 * <span style="color: #2a2a2a; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Both I will use the my Iphone as group, but I will follow each student individually.


 * 1) <span style="color: #2a2a2a; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">3. <span style="color: #2a2a2a; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Should activities be directed, constructivist, or a combination of these?

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Letters.
 * <span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">I will run some of the votes and ask students to emulate. Here are some characters that are difficult to pronounce and I will ask them to pronounce <span style="color: #2a2a2a; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> the


 * 1) <span style="color: #2a2a2a; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">4. <span style="color: #2a2a2a; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">What strategies should I use to encourage female and minority student involvement?

 * <span style="color: #2a2a2a; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">First I will review all the letters, then I will know which of the characters are harder and concentrate on these characters. I will try to do my activities tin those letters.


 * 1) <span style="color: #2a2a2a; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">6. <span style="color: #2a2a2a; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Will students have enough time to learn the technologies before I begin grading <span style="color: #2a2a2a; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">?


 * <span style="color: #2a2a2a; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Students are too young for using technology, so I will do it for them, but I will explain this technology and how they can use it.


 * 1) <span style="color: #2a2a2a; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">7. <span style="color: #2a2a2a; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Do I have demonstrations of equipment and the software skills student will need?
 * <span style="color: #2a2a2a; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">No because they are too young. I will do it for them.


 * <span style="color: #2a2a2a; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Phase 4: Preparing the Instructional Environment--Are the Essential Conditions in Place to Support Technology Integration? **

<span style="color: #2a2a2a; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">1-How many computers and copies of software do I need to carry out the activities?


 * <span style="color: #2a2a2a; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">I will use my iPhone and <span style="color: #404040; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">adapter to show in projector. <span style="color: #2a2a2a; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"> iPhone will be like <span style="color: #2a2a2a; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">computer

= * Extra Credit (the second ) The Art of the Flipped Classroom: =


 * 1. ** ** What was presented? In the video, the authors presented a program **
 * Called Flipped Classroom. They explained that the basic aspect of their **
 * Program was that a flipped classroom is where the students would go **
 * Home to do their work and bring it to class the next day to present it and **
 * Talk about any problems with it and then they could work out the issues **
 * In the classroom with the teacher and other students. No homework was **
 * Given to the students. This is a choice of the teacher. **


 * 2. ** ** What did you learn? I learned that teaching students do not have to be done **
 * The traditional way. I learned that new technology for learning has come a **
 * Long way and will continue to improve instruction in the classroom. I learned **
 * That all students can participate in the flipped classroom program. I learned **
 * A new teaching skill that I did not know before, even though I was teaching. **
 * The flipped classroom is a benefit for all students to participate in. This new **
 * Technological advance has benefits that other programs do not have and it **
 * Can easily be used by any teacher. Sometimes, technology can save money **
 * For the school teachers and sometimes it is expensive. **

___
 * 3. ** ** Reflections on the role of technology in the classroom. When I set and think **
 * About the use of technology in the classroom, I look at history in order to **
 * Get a broader understanding of what has happened. First, in the past a **
 * Student did not have access to a lot of technology. Teachers and school **
 * Systems had to use what information and skills they learned from being **
 * Taught. However, with the rise in technological research and design, it is **
 * Now possible to do work more easy, faster, and technology save one of the **
 * Most valuable commodities, which is time. Today, technology saves time, **
 * Money, and other resources because of its ability to bring more to us in a **
 * Quicker manner. **

My username on Secnd Life: Ali626. I know second life from last semester, so I am familiar with it. I think last semester we used second life more then this semester. From last semester, I learned how to create my Avatar and how to build, fix it, and to chnage my clothes and use the camera.

This semester we did not spend a lot of time on Second Life. But we reviewed all information we did last semester and we did some building and went to a show. I think in second life, it is easy to learn and you get to meet international people. I enjoyed second life.But Not all people have the technology skills. This is the biggest problem.People in my country do not have technology skills.
