V. LESSON CONTENT
Lesson 1- Integrated and interdisciplinary
What is integrated and interdisciplinary?
An interdisciplinary approach (also called horizontal integration) connects the interdependent
knowledge and skills from more than one subject area to examine a central theme, issue, problem,
topic, or experience. It is a holistic approach that stresses linkages.
What is interdisciplinary curriculum?
An interdisciplinary curriculum combines several school subjects into one active project
or is organized to cut across subject-matter lines, bringing together various aspects of
the curriculum into meaningful association. ... Students examine multiple disciplines for
common skills, concepts, and ideas.
What is the difference between integrated curriculum and interdisciplinary curriculum?
In an interdisciplinary approach, teachers organize the curriculum around
common learnings across disciplines. ... To create multidisciplinary integrated
curriculum, develop a central theme focused on social studies and teach history,
geography, economics and government in that thematic based unit.28 Jun 2020

To launch the exercise, you must play a news clip that discusses a local, national or international topic.
Then, give students a related question to solve either individually or in teams. For example, the clip can
be about a store shutting down. Using skills and concepts from different subjects, ask students to
determine an ideal new location for it. They can volunteer to present their solutions, answering
questions from classmates.
Time: 30 – 45 Minutes
Age Range: 5th Grade and Up
2. Historical Pen Pals
Personalize history class — developing creative writing skills in the process — by dedicating time to
this ongoing activity.
Each student takes the role of a historical figure and writes to a classmate about events he or she faced.
Drawing on resources such as videos and textbooks, the exercise allows the writer to process content
from different and relevant subjects. Let’s say a student takes the role of Galileo Galilei. He or she can
write about the polymath’s discoveries, building knowledge of math and other subjects in the process.
Time: 45 Minutes
Age Range: 3rd Grade and Up
3. Math Gym
Combine math and science with physical education by delivering ongoing lessons that explain and
explore certain motions.
Let’s say it’s time to practice long jumps. You can briefly delve into physics and body mechanics, using
a spring to illustrate the downward application of force. Then, students can exercise their math skills by
estimating and measuring how far they jumped. These demonstrations and activities can also
supplement lessons about lifting, throwing and other actions — potentially interesting students who
don’t enjoy gym.
Time: 15 – 30 Minutes
Age Range: 3rd – 8th Grade
4. World Traveller
Let students plan vacations, building research skills while touching on core subjects.
You need to designate time for independent study in a library or computer room, as students
work to create week-long travel itineraries to their ideal destinations. The product should, for
example, include information about:
Landmarks and their historical significances
Popular foods, dishes and the predominant cuisine
Languages or dialects spoken in the area or country
Cultural events that take place in the area or country
This interdisciplinary activity lends itself to second-language classes. For example, students
could write itineraries in French for a trip to Paris or Montréal. To wrap up the exercise, you can
explore some destinations with your class using technology such as Google Earth.
Time: One – Three Classes
Age Range: 4th – 6th Grade
5. Leaning Tower
Bolster the last activity — delving into more subjects — by asking students to examine one of

Italy’s famous landmarks.
A mainstay interdisciplinary activity for some teachers, this exercise focuses on independent research
into the Leaning Tower of Pisa. Specifically, it can involve:
Investigating the physics or structure of the tower, determining if or when it will fall
Exploring the tower’s history and cultural significance to Pisa and Tuscany
Developing an itinerary for a trip to Pisa, similar to the last activity
Setting a budget for the trip
For lower grades, you can divide the activity into distinct exercises and allow students to work in groups. For
higher grades, you can assign this as an in-class project for students to tackle either individually or in pairs.
Time: One – Three Classes
Age Range: 6th Grade and Up
6. Incentives
Touch on business, philosophy and social studies with this introspective activity.
This opens the door to two reflection exercises. First, as a class, discuss how each group spent its money.
Second, ask each student to write about why he or she wanted specific incentives.
Time: One Class
Age Range: 4th Grade and Up
Types of integrated curriculum:
Connected - This is when topics surrounding disciplines are connected which allows students to review
and re-conceptualize ideas within a discipline. However, it has its shortcomings because the content
focus still remains in one discipline.
Sequenced - This is when similar ideas are taught together although in different subjects which
facilitates learning across content areas, but requires a lot of communication among teachers of
different disciplines.
Shared - This is when teachers use their planning to create a integrated unit among two
disciplines.However, this method of integration requires a lot of communication and collaboration
between the two teachers.
For example, a social studies teacher and a science teacher can decide to plan a unit in which the students will
be completing a research paper on the Civil War. The social studies teacher can use this as an opportunity to
teach about the Civil War and it's causes and effects as well as how we gather information using first and
second hand sources, while the English teacher can use this as an opportunity to teach proper MLA format
when citing a paper, how to format a research paper, as well as grammar, spelling, and other writing
techniques.
Webbed - This is when a teacher decides to base all subjects areas around a central theme which
motivates students to see the connection to the theme within the different subjects.

Multimedia technology applies interactive computer elements, such as graphics, text, video, sound, and
animation, to deliver a message. If you have a knack for computer work and are interested in digital
media, read on to discover career and education opportunities available in this growing specialty.
The definition of multimedia technology includes interactive, computer-based applications that allow
people to communicate ideas and information with digital and print elements. Professionals in the field use
computer software to develop and manage online graphics and content. The work that media technology
specialists produce is used in various media, such as training programs, web pages, and news sites.
9 Unique Ways to use Technology in the Classroom:
Finding creative ways to use technology in the classroom can both make your life easier as a teacher and
boost student excitement levels and engagement with lessons. From helping with communication among
teachers and students (as well as peer-to-peer), to organizing curriculum calendars, to enhancing
presentations and lessons with media and visuals, there is no limit to the ways to use technology in the
classroom to create an enriched learning environment. If you’re looking for ideas of exactly how to use
technology in the classroom to enhance learning, some examples include:
1. Gamified Learning - To this day, I give all credit for my skill in typing to time spent playing typing
games in the computer lab of my elementary school. Not only were the games incredible, and incredibly
engaging programs for teaching students typing skills, they made using a computer fun and exciting for
me and set the foundation for all other computer knowledge I’ve gained since. Learning can and should
be fun and using technology for gamified learning in your classroom can be advantageous to achieving
that goal. And while learning software can be a great teaching tool, gamified learning can also be as
simple as creating a virtual scavenger hunt by coming up with a list of questions for students to search
and find the correct answers for and adding students to pairs or groups to encourage collaboration and
teamwork!
2. Digital Field Trips - An increasingly popular, useful, and cost-effective tool for teachers searching for
new ways to use technology in the classroom is taking digital field trips. Google Streetview and other
similar apps allow you to virtually explore parks, forests and even national and international landmarks
from the comfort of your classroom. Virtually experience the view from the Statue of Liberty or hike
through the Grand Canyon to get students excited to learn about a location or subject and extend
learning beyond the page!
3. Integrate Social Media - Because students already spend so much of their time on social media,
integrating its use into your classroom is among the most innovative ways to use technology in the
classroom by connecting students to curriculum, classroom resources, and one another. Create a
Facebook group specifically for your class where you post discussion topics or develop unique
classroom Twitter hashtags students can use to discuss lessons or ask questions!
4. Gather Student Feedback- The true test of any classroom structure and/or curriculum is how well it
helps students learn, and getting feedback from students is vital to assessing this, determining what is
and isn’t working, and addressing problems and confusion as they arise. Use online surveys and polls
to perform daily or weekly check-ins with students to get their opinions on lessons and address
lingering questions or concerns. Expand on the usage of Twitter hashtags by having students tweet
their feedback and questions with a classroom hashtag.
5. Creating Digital Content - Creating digital content related to the things they are learning is a

great way for students to display their individual creative talents as well as showcase learning. As with
any other project, the process of creating content is most effective when students are able to express
themselves in ways that highlight and accommodate their personal strengths and
learning/communication styles. Provide options for students to express themselves through blogs,
videos, podcasts, eBooks, flyers and other digital art, or any other means they feel most comfortable.
Respecting each student’s individuality and needs for creative expression helps them flourish as
learners.
6. Using a Classroom Calendar - Develop a shared online calendar for your classroom through
Google Calendar or a similar program for posting important updates. Post assignment due dates and
classroom events (such as field trips and guest speakers) in one easily-accessible location for both
teachers and students. Go a step further and share the calendar with parents to keep them connected
and engaged with their child’s learning.
7. Review and Critique Webpages - While we know you can find almost anything on the internet, we also
know that much of what you may find is not reliable information from reliable sources. I remember being
told frequently by teachers and professors “Wikipedia is not a reliable source” when doing research
papers, but can’t recall a single instructor who explained why. Empower your students with the digital
literacy to analyze and discern reliable web pages and sources from unreliable ones by reviewing them
together, developing and communicating standards for what makes a good source.
8. Video/Multimedia Lessons and Presentations - Bring presentations to life for students by
incorporating visual effects, photos, videos, and music into them. Developing slideshows and digital
presentations, playing music or a video for background and context while presenting, or by inviting
virtual guest speakers to engage with your class via programs designed for conference calls (such as:
Skype, Google Hangouts, and Facetime) are all fun and creative ways to boost engagement with
lessons while teaching the benefits of technology and multimedia use.
9. Online Activities For Students Who Finish Work Early - Set up learning stations to encourage and
support students working at their own pace. If a student finishes an assignment early, rather than being
stuck waiting for other students to catch up or class to end, students can extend and enhance their
learning by visiting a learning station and watching videos, playing learning-based games, or exploring
other online activities related to their learning.
Lesson 3 - Global Classrooms
Global Classroom: Foundations of Sustainable Development Practice is a web-based course that
fosters cross-disciplinary collaboration and allows students and teachers from around the world to participate in
collective assignments and learning experiences.
What is the purpose of global classroom?
The purpose of One To World's Global Classroom program is to engage youth and international students
and scholars in meaningful face-to-face intercultural exchange that cultivates stronger communities and
citizens within our diverse American and global society.
