Description of how to implement in the class: As a class we will discuss about
animals and their classifications. Together we will categorize where animals will go.
Then students will have another set of animals to categorize through Kidspiration.
Level of Technology Implementation (LoTi): LoTi level 3 is present in this lesson
idea. Students are using the technology of Kidsperation to classify animals and can
create their data. Students are also discovering the classification of where to place
animals instead of being told by the software where the correct place is.
Description of the sample BBPT file provided *:
Students will classify animals into different

classifications through Kidspiration. There are 4 categories set up. The first category
is insect, the second bird, the third mammal, and the fourth reptile. Students then will
drag pictures from the left screen into each category they believe is the correct one.
