Ohio+Innovators 

Hello, gang! Since we have been exploring technology in our science unit, we are now going to take a look at technology in history. Many innovations have been created right here in the state of Ohio and have changed the face of technology throughout the world. You need to research one of these technologies using the web and display your findings through a variety of tech tools. First thing I would like for everyone to do is take this short quiz on Kahoot!  just to introduce the unit a little bit. (You'll be doing this during class time on the iPads.)

After you've taken the quiz, go ahead and explore some of the inventions on your iPad that were created right here in Ohio. Once you've decided, please add in the inventor and invention next to your name in the class GoogleDoc. NO REPEATS! If someone has already chosen your innovation, then you must pick a new one.

Step 1: Once you've chosen your innovation, begin researching! Your project must contain the following information: 1.) Who invented it? 2.) What was the innovation? What year was it invented? 3.) What does the invention do? 4.) What is the purpose and benefit of the invention? 5.) How has this innovation influenced the United States of America? (At least 3) 6.) Is this an invention that we still use today? If not, what do we use instead, if at all? *ONLY if the use has been discontinued*- Where there any negative aspects of this invention that caused the discontinuation? 7.) 3 interesting facts about the inventor **If may of course include supplemental information if you desire, but your project MUST contain this information.**

Step 2: <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; font-family: 'Playfair Display'; font-size: 17.25px;">After you've researched your chosen innovation, there are three tasks that you will need to complete. 1.) You will create a <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #b3b3b3; font-family: 'Playfair Display'; font-size: 17.25px; text-decoration: none;">Glogster <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; font-family: 'Playfair Display'; font-size: 17.25px;">, which is a digital poster. You will display all of the above information on your poster, while also making it visually appealing. <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #b3b3b3; font-family: 'Playfair Display'; font-size: 17.25px; text-decoration: none;">Glogster Example

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; font-family: 'Playfair Display'; font-size: 17.25px;">Step 3: <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; font-family: 'Playfair Display'; font-size: 17.25px;"> You will create a comic strip using <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #b3b3b3; font-family: 'Playfair Display'; font-size: 17.25px; text-decoration: none;">Pixton <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; font-family: 'Playfair Display'; font-size: 17.25px;">, depicting what life may have been like before your innovation. Make it funny, make it realistic, make it witty, have fun with it.... just keep the jokes appropriate! <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #b3b3b3; font-family: 'Playfair Display'; font-size: 17.25px; text-decoration: none;">Pixton Example ​​ ​Step 4: <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; font-family: 'Playfair Display'; font-size: 17.25px;">Using the tech tool <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #b3b3b3; font-family: 'Playfair Display'; font-size: 17.25px; text-decoration: none;">Tinkercad <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; font-family: 'Playfair Display'; font-size: 17.25px;"> you will create your invention with 3D technology. Include the links for your Pixton and Tinkercad creations on your digital poster. <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #b3b3b3; font-family: 'Playfair Display'; font-size: 17.25px; text-decoration: none;">​Tinkercad Example

​Step 5: <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; font-family: 'Playfair Display'; font-size: 17.25px;">Once you have completed all 3 of these tasks, your projects will be uploaded to our <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #b3b3b3; font-family: 'Playfair Display'; font-size: 17.25px; text-decoration: none;">class website <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; font-family: 'Playfair Display'; font-size: 17.25px;">. Examples are given above and a final copy of your project is shown as well on the class website Also provided below is the rubric for the project. PLEASE READ THROUGH THE RUBRIC BEFORE BEGINNING SO THAT ALL REQUIREMENTS ARE MET.
