TE 206: Technology Integration Lesson Plan
● Interactive Games
○ Click here for an online resource to learn the 50 states.
○ Click here for an online resource to learn the 50 states in
different stages.
■ Multiple levels under the “states” column
○ Click here for an online resource to learn the continents and
oceans.
● Google Tour
○ Click here to access the Google Tour.
● Globe
● Markers and Paper with the states on them
● iPads
1. Using iPads, the teacher will first test the students knowledge of the
states and bodies of water using a pre-test.
2. Students will be given a link to Google Tour where they will be able
to visit each state’s capital and get to see on a map where each state
and body of water is.
3. They will be asked to spend a class period going over all of these
states and bodies of water individually.
4. The next day, they will use markers to color code their maps to help
them associate different states with different colors.
a. Example: States that are in the east could be green and in the
west could be red etc. or they could be coded into a color
pattern.
5. After color coding, the students will then be put into groups and have
a globe at each table where they will identify the different states
together.
6. The following day, the students will use their iPads again to review
for the test using interactive games online where they choose where
the states are.
a. Students can also go back to Google Tour to identify the water
and states or draw a map to study; whichever method is most
helpful to them.
7. After these days of learning about the states the students will then take
the same test that they took at the beginning again and see how much
they have improved.
8. The teacher will be helping students throughout the week that need
extra assistance or are struggling with the concept of the states.

learning with a grade
TE 206: Technology Integration Lesson Plan
1. Students will use iPads to play Kahoot to practice what
they’ve learned
2. Each question will make students be independent with their
answers while also creating a competitive, fun game for the
students to engage in.
