Surfboard Repair Video: As a teacher, using technology is important in the evolution of education. Education has used videos since they were invented, but personal videos is relatively new. As an educator, the ability to create your own videos is a tremendous way of teaching students exactly what you want them to learn. In the past, teachers needed to constantly fast foward and rewind to use videos to teach a class. Now instead of finding specific segments within the video, teachers can create a video using only what they want to use. As a Technology teacher, I can constantly use this medium. Not only will I be teachng how to use it, but I can use it to explain and demonstrate concepts. The beauty of using a video, is students can repeat it as much as necessary until they understand the presentation. Some project examples are as follows: Construction, electrical theory, video editing, adobe workshops, and printing.The standards that using this lesson would achieve are:Standards: 1. Facilitate and Inspire Student Learning and CreativityTeachers use their knowledge of subject matter, teaching and learning, and technology to facilitate experiences that advance studentlearning, creativity, and innovation in both face-to-face and virtual environments. Teachers:a. promote, support, and model creative and innovative thinking and inventivenessb. engage students in exploring real-world issues and solving authentic problems using digital tools and resourcesc. promote student reflection using collaborative tools to reveal and clarify students’ conceptual understanding and thinking, planning,and creative processesd. model collaborative knowledge construction by engaging in learning with students, colleagues, and others in face-to-face and virtualenvironments2. Design and Develop Digital-Age Learning Experiences and AssessmentsTeachers design, develop, and evaluate authentic learning experiences and assessments incorporating contemporary tools and resources tomaximize content learning in context and to develop the knowledge, skills, and attitudes identified in the NETS•S. Teachers:a. design or adapt relevant learning experiences that incorporate digital tools and resources to promote student learning and creativityb. develop technology-enriched learning environments that enable all students to pursue their individual curiosities and becomeactive participants in setting their own educational goals, managing their own learning, and assessing their own progressc. customize and personalize learning activities to address students’ diverse learning styles, working strategies, and abilities usingdigital tools and resourcesd. provide students with multiple and varied formative and summative assessments aligned with content and technologystandards and use resulting data to inform learning and teaching3. Model Digital-Age Work and LearningTeachers exhibit knowledge, skills, and work processes representative of an innovative professional in a global and digital society. Teachers:a. demonstrate fluency in technology systems and the transfer of current knowledge to new technologies and situationsb. collaborate with students, peers, parents, and community members using digital tools and resources to support student successand innovationc. communicate relevant information and ideas effectively to students, parents, and peers using a variety of digital-age media and formatsd. model and facilitate effective use of current and emerging digital tools to locate, analyze, evaluate, and use informationresources to support research and learning 4. Promote and Model Digital Citizenship and ResponsibilityTeachers understand local and global societal issues and responsibilities in an evolving digital culture and exhibit legal and ethicalbehavior in their professional practices. Teachers:a. advocate, model, and teach safe, legal, and ethical use of digital information and technology, including respect for copyright,intellectual property, and the appropriate documentation of sourcesb. address the diverse needs of all learners by using learner-centered strategies and providing equitable access to appropriate digital toolsand resourcesc. promote and model digital etiquette and responsible social interactions related to the use of technology and informationd. develop and model cultural understanding and global awareness by engaging with colleagues and students of other cultures usingdigital-age communication and collaboration tools

Geography: Long Island is an island, it extends 118 miles east from New york harbor, and varies in width from 12 to 23 miles between the northern coast and the southern Atlantic coast. The east end of Long Island is a glacier moraine dump hence the pine barens are diferent from other parts of the Island in soil and flara content.There are barrier islands made up of atlantic beach, long beach, fire island and others. The island forks at the end. In between these forks are islands including Shelter Island and Robins Island. Montauk is the southern tip, Orient Point is the northern tip. The tallest part of Long Island is BAld Hill in Farmingville where a Vietnam Memorial Pyramid stands
Climate: It has warm, humid summers and mildly-variable cold winters. Global warming has made winters warmer. In the early 20th century and even in the 15 th century to the 19th century , the winters were colder.
History:In Setauket, women hung out their laundry to give messages to Connecuit about the British troops Giovanni da Verrazzano was the first European to record an encounter with these people when he entered what is now New york bay in 1524.In 1683, the English established the three original counties on Long Island: Kings, Queens, and Suffolk.
Economy: Harvesting the Salt marsh of salt hay was one of the early industries. Industry and manufacturing was sent to Long Island to perserve Westchester, that's why Long Island City is a hub of factories and smoke. The economy varies from middle class to wealthy.
Transportation: The Long Island Rail Road Northern And Southern State parkways and Sunrise highway were original main roads.The long Island Railroad. John F. Kennedy International Airport, LaGuardia Airport, and Long Island MacArthur Airport, multiple smaller airports
Leisure and recreation: Summer activities, Fist pumps, techno, acuras, hair!, sports,kyaking, surfing, sailing,You can find several jazz clubs and other nightspots offering live music. There are many sailiing clubs on th e L.I.Sound and the Great South Bay such as the Sayville Yacht Club.
Celebrities: Billy Joel comes from East Hampton! Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie recently bought a house in the town of Lloyd Neck on long island. Christie Brinkley lives in Watermill on the east end. Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony live in Brookville. Mary J Blige recently purchased a $12 million house, Boomer Esiason. Isabella Rossilini lives in Bellport and has helped establish the Bellport Film Society. Former Senator D'Amato built a new house in Lido Beach.

City PowerPoint
PowerPoint Reaction
Microsoft PowerPoint is a powerful tool in education. The ability to create detailed and entertaining slides can keep students attentive. This program allows students to learn subjects without a flood of dittos or dull speech. Learning can become colorful and interesting. With the use of the internet, PowerPoint presentations can open the world to a classroom. It is the first educational utility that has few limits. Through using videos, sounds, pictures, animations, and themes I can get my point across in a fun manner.
