Week 4

I used "In time" and found an aviation lesson that will work well for my middle school class next year. We actually have a flight simulator in one of our tech classrooms and the only thing it is used for right now is a toy. This lesson includes ideas like using the simulator to teach the parts of the plane during which I could also include minor physics and principles of flight. The students could also develop a flight plan and learn how to use flight controls. This type of lesson could be done in small groups or individually. I am excited to see that others still have simulators like this and actually make useful lessons out of them. During the preparation process for this class I will explore the flight simulator and its capabilities so that I can use it to its fullest extent. I can also incorperate other technology like computer and internet usage to have students do some research on different types of planes and aviation.
