PLE submission for week 7

What is the content you’ll be using in your lesson?
The content I will be using in my lesson is describing the differences between man made and natural occurrences. I turned this lesson into an opportunity to see how man-made structures interact with the natural world, and how this may affect the organisms originally dwelling in the environment before human populations were developed.

What is the pedagogy you’ll be using and why is it a good fit with the content?
The pedagogy I will be using is helping students to recognize the effects of people's choices in the environment. The specific techniques used will be through the technology medium in order to allow students to explore the information available and a few particular places where such an interaction is evident. This is a good fit because it involves a democratic notion which helps students take ownership of the activity and learn more for themselves.

What is the technology you’ll be using and why is it a good fit with the content and pedagogy?
The technology I'll be using is that of Google Earth. This particular program allows students to see the world in a three-dimensional way and provides a concrete view of places to which they may never have explored before. Furthermore, the program allows students to navigate to other websites in order to broaden not only their content knowledge, but also to provide additional resources for exploration and learning.
