REDEFINITION
Technology allows for the creation of new tasks that were previously not conceivable.
transformation
MODIFICATION
Technology allows for significant task redesign..
AUGMENTATION
Technology acts as a direct tool for substitution with some functional improvement.
enhancement
SUBSTITUTION
Technology acts as a direct tool for substitution with no real change.

2. Technology acts a direct substitute, with no functional improvement
Density Lesson
Use Phet website to interact with a Density simulation.
SUBSTITUTION
Technology acts a direct substitute,
with no functional improvement
This task uses:
Go to this PhET simulation:
Interact with the simulation and experiment with each of the different materials: Styrofoam, wood, brick, aluminum, and ice.
Take notes of your findings on paper to turn in for a grade.
An internet-connected device
The PhET website.
Learning Objective(s):
TSW use technology when appropriate to enhance laboratory investigations and presentations of findings. (SI-H-A3)

3. Atoms and Periodic Table Lesson
Complete a game on the Quizizz website.
AUGMENTATION
Technology acts as a direct tool
for substitution with some
functional improvement.
Go to the Quizizz website ( and enter the game code provided by the teacher.
Enter an appropriate nickname. Do not use your real name.
Answer the questions as they come up.

4. Design, Perform, and Video Experiment
Advanced chemistry students design and perform an experiment and post a video of it on Blackboard.
MODIFICATION
Technology allows for
significant task redesign.
Review these lab examples:
Design an experiment to identify unknown metal samples using a Bunsen burner similar, but not identical to those found in the examples.
Once approved, complete the experiment and video the process, not revealing your own conclusions for the metals being identified.
Post the completed videos to the Blackboard discussion board provided.
Once regular chemistry students have the chance to review and post their replies, go back to the discussion board and let them know if their responses are correct or not.
This task uses:
Internet-connected device
Blackboard
Video-capable device
Learning Objective(s):
TSW be able to write a testable question or hypothesis when given a topic (SI-H-A1)
TSW use technology when appropriate to enhance laboratory investigations and presentations of findings (SI-H-A3)
TEACHER NOTES:
Teacher’s name/ Walter J.
School: Barbe High
Louisiana State Standard: SI-H-A1, SI-H-A3
Grade Level/Subject: 10-12/Chemistry
Special Directions/Considerations: teachers need to set up a Blackboard discussion board for this project prior to the experiment

5. Identify Unknowns on Experiment Video
Regular chemistry students identify unknowns of an experiment from a video and post their opinions of the identifications on a Blackboard discussion board.
REDEFINITION
Technology allows for the
creation of new tasks that were
previously not conceivable.
Log into Blackboard and go to the Unknown Metals Lab Video discussion board.
Watch each of the videos and identify what the unknown metals are that are being tested.
Post your response as a reply to the video.
This task uses:
-Internet-connected device
-Blackboard
-Videos created by advanced
chemistry students
from the M task
Learning Objective(s):
TSW use technology when appropriate to enhance laboratory investigations and presentations of findings (SI-H-A3)
