Part II of the Screencast-O-Matic presentation demonstrates how an Understanding by Design two week unit can serve to connect what students are learning when they use Arduino Electrical Circuitry (as one example) to the Alaska State Technology goals and standards, as well as to endless examples of content area standards that may be met by using Arduino. In the unit I have written–students are studying middle school or older electric circuitry in physics as they learn to use coding in technology for future career goals.
