Directions: Fill in each part of the App Lesson with your own original ideas.

Please look at the


sample provided on the class website. Provide 3 to 4 apps/steps for students to complete along
with a creative title, helpful description, and relevant SC teaching standards.

 There must be one app per step.


 Android apps can be use as long as all included apps are from the same platform.
 Lessons must cohesively link together 3 to 4 apps going from one focus/step of the lesson
to another.
 Lessons may include direct instruction provided the lecture contents are explained.
 Lessons may utilize web browser apps like Chrome or Safari to access website-based
tools. Link to the website in the write-up and the web browser app in the iTunes web link
area.
 The final step in lessons must have students create a learning artifact from a creation-
based app (presentation, video, etc.) or screenshot of progress from a skill-based app
that students would submit to the teacher for assessment.

Title: …

Relevant SC Standards: … College and Career Ready Standards: 8.5: Demonstrate an

understanding of the impact of world events on South Carolina and the United States

from 1929 to present.

Description: This app lesson will develop eighth grade history students’ ability to

connect what is happening currently in the South Carolina to the history of South

Carolina that has been discussed throughout the year.

Instructional Objective: Students will be able to...

 Find current events


 Relate current events to SC history
 Create a presentation showing a deep understanding of the impact of these events
 Expand the issue that is happening in SC to a bigger scale issue of the world
Step 1 Skill-Based App: Students will use the Web whiteboard app to learn about items
outside the classroom. I will use the “flipped classroom” idea to teach them the SC
History outside the classroom and give more time in the class for group work and
getting a deeper understanding.

Step 2 Content-Based App: Students will use the NY times app along with a paid
subscription to locate current events that are happening now to connect with the history
we have learned with the previous app to create the poster with the following app.

Step 3 Skill-Based App: Students will use the app WalkWoke to create a poster
explaining how events that have happened in SC in the past are still happening today.
This poster will show that we cannot turn a blind eye to issues. It will connect SC history
with SC current events.
