Highlighted COR Lessons
All of the lessons selected for inclusion in the COR collection are
standards-based technology-integrated lessons. The lessons highlighted here
illustrate a particularly strong alignment with both Ohio's academic content
standards and Ohio's technology standards for students.
Mathematics
What's My Structure?
Elementary school students create three-dimensional structures that they then
describe via email to students in another classroom. The students who receive
the description then build the structure, create a QTVR movie of the structure,
and share the movie with the first set of students. As indicated in the ORC
full record, this lesson aligns with Ohio's Geometry and Spatial Sense and
Mathematical Processes standards. It also aligns to the Technology and
Productivity Applications and the Technology and Communications Applications
standards.
Toothpicks and Transformations
High school students use graphing calculators to develop a model for
transformations of quadratic functions and verify that this model and all
previously studied models are equivalent. As indicated in the ORC full record,
this lesson aligns with the Patterns, Functions and Algebra and Mathematical
Processes standards. It also aligns to the Technology for Productivity
Applications standard.

Witness for the Prosecution:
Creating an Online Newspaper
High school students conduct research using the Internet and produce an online
newspaper. As indicated in the ORC full record, this lesson aligns to the
Reading Applications: Literary Text, Writing Process, Writing Applications and
Writing Conventions standards. It also aligns to the Technology and
Communications Applications and technology and Information Literacy standards.
Let's Build a Snowman
Elementary school students access the Internet to gain information about how
animals survive during the winter. As indicated in the ORC full record, this
lesson aligns to the Reading Process: Concepts of Print, Comprehension
Strategies and Self-Monitoring Strategies standard. It also aligns to the
Technology and Information Literacy standard.
