All of the lessons selected for inclusion in the COR collection are standards-based technology-integrated lessons. The lessons highlighted here illustrate a particularly strong alignment with both Ohio's academic content standards and Ohio's technology standards for students.

Mathematics

What's My Structure?
Elementary school students create three-dimensional structures that they then describe via email to students in another classroom. The students who receive the description then build the structure, create a QTVR movie of the structure, and share the movie with the first set of students. As indicated in the ORC full record, this lesson aligns with Ohio's Geometry and Spatial Sense and Mathematical Processes standards. It also aligns to the Technology and Productivity Applications and the Technology and Communications Applications standards.

Toothpicks and Transformations
High school students use graphing calculators to develop a model for transformations of quadratic functions and verify that this model and all previously studied models are equivalent. As indicated in the ORC full record, this lesson aligns with the Patterns, Functions and Algebra and Mathematical Processes standards. It also aligns to the Technology for Productivity Applications standard.
