· Standard 2: Demonstrate responsible use of technology and an understanding of ethics and safety issues in using electronic media.

Math Standards

International Society of Technology Education (ISTE):

Information Literacy Standards:

· Standard 6 – Mathematics instructional programs should focus on solving problems as part of understanding mathematics so that all students

· Build new mathematical knowledge through their work with problems

· Develop a disposition to formulate, represent, abstract, and generalize in situations within and outside mathematics

· Apply a wide variety of strategies to solve problems and adapt the strategies to new situations

· Monitor and reflect on their mathematical thinking in solving problems produce other creative works.

· Standard 6 – Students use technology resources for solving problems and making informed decisions.

· Students employ technology in the development of strategies for solving problems in the real world.

Technology Foundation Standards for Students:

· Standard 3 – Students use technology tools to enhance learning, increase productivity, and promote creativity. Students use productivity tools to collaborate in constructing technology-enhanced models, prepare publications

Learning Objective: 

· For students to write code that reacts to key events. A user presses the key D or d and a stick figure on the screen will move to the right.

· For students to extrapolate writing keyListener events into mouse Listener Events.

Learning Experience:

· Technology of the Day will be start each day

Day 1:

· I will give a short overview of the KeyListener assignment that the students started last week. Assignment will be on the board and the website

· Students will work on the computers

Day 2:

· In front of the room I go over ways to expand on the KeyListener assignment on the board

· Students will work on the computers

Day 3:

· I will demonstrate on how to expand this lesson to add a mouseListener

· Students will complete this assignment

Assessments are based on:

· Successful completion of the Keylistener Assignment

· Full requirements are listed on the Cpp Assignments Web page
