This lesson activity is to take place in the middle of a Civil War Unit. This activity will take place when the major battles are being disucssed in chronological order. Studetns will have the opportunity to become more familiar with three of the five battles that have been provided for them. This is a digital lesson where each student needs a computer device and headphones. This is not an acutal assessment, but one assignment in the understanding of the Civil War to write a post unit paper.   

The Apollo 11 Command Module, "Columbia," was the living quarters for the three-person crew during most of the first manned lunar landing mission in July 1969.

Join us as we step into Samie Ott's classroom at Bryce Valley Elementary and witness firsthand how Utah's Computer Science standards are being integrated into the curriculum. In this episode of UEN's PDTV, you'll see Samie's students showcase their learning journey as they demonstrate their mastery of computational thinking.

In this episode of UEN's PDTV Principals Edition, we meet Teacher Leader and Administrator Elizabeth Julian at Boulder Elementary. Elizabeth has transformed her school into a place of innovative learning with the support of incredible partners like the Utah Film Center, Utah Education Network, and SEDC. These partnerships have brought exciting and enriching experiences directly to her students. We'll get a glimpse into just how these partnerships have made a difference at Boulder Elementary.

Students use the Cornell notes tool (developed by Walter Pauk from Cornell University) to gather key ideas, details, and summarize.

Dr. Naomi Watkins and Robert Austin present about how to help students counter misinformation.

This is a lesson to help students practice retelling a story about a person they have read about in a biography.  They will practice retelling a story in sequential order, with at least 3 details about that person.  They will learn to use a digital resource for creating their story and will practice other technology skills (searching for images online, typing, describing their chosen person in a clear way).  I have not used it yet; it will most likely require some adjusting after I've worked through it with students.

This lesson plan was created for middle school or high school special educators to use for their peer tutors. This lesson plan may be used by teachers to teach their peer tutors how to create a digital story on disability awareness in conjunction with a disability that they have previously researched. It may also be used in a social studies class where students have previously studied civil rights, equality, and education laws.

In this episode of UEN's PDTV, we explore strategies to discover high-quality digital resources aligned with Utah Core Standards beyond basic Google searches and expensive educational websites. Join host Katie Blunt as she chats with Lindsey Henderson, a Mathematics Specialist with the Utah State Board of Education, and Jennifer Burt, a Mathematics teacher at Syracuse Jr. High, to learn effective strategies for finding, organizing and curating the perfect digital resources for your students using UEN’s eMedia platform.

This lesson plan was created for a lesson on the different diseases and disorders associated with a sedintary lifestyle. The lesson is designed for a fitness for life class (10th grade PE).

When the North Pole is tilted toward the sun in the summer, the Northern Hemisphere experiences more daylight. This results in longer days and warmer temperatures.

Students will gain a basic understanding of earthquakes, how and why they happen, and how they can change the landforms.

There are four distinct seasons in northern latitudes: spring, summer, fall, and winter.
