Technology-Rich+Lesson+Plans

==Below are samples of lesson plans that we created using technology as a vehicle for learning. We will share our lessons and reflect upon the level of technology integration for each lesson. Our mantra for this activity is: Content first!==

Katy's Online Lesson Planner Lesson Katy's Assure Model Lesson Katy's Xtranormal Introduction As discussed in class, I slightly preferred the online lesson planner because it match more closely how I approach lesson planning. I don't have enough Xtranormal credits to publish my video so I will find an alternative way to capture and share it.

[|Assure 560-2.doc] [|Lesson Plan 560-2.doc] These are Ryan's Lesson Plans for the technology-rich lesson. I stated last week that I preferred the online planner, because I think the assure method is geared towards more experienced teachers (which I am not). I just did not know what was appropriate to put in some of those blanks. But, Prof. Atchison's suggestion to number the Require learner participation section would make the Assure lesson plan a lot more helpful and easy to follow. I also did notice that a lot of the sections that are unique to the assure lesson plan were mentioned in the "Teacher Technology Change" article for this week. The added categories of teacher knowledge, "Knowledge of materials for instruction, including visual materals and media; knowledge of the characteristics of learners, including their subject-related preconceptions (learner knowledge); knowledge of the educational contexts, including classrooms, schools, district and beyond (content knowledge)l and knowledge of educational goals and beliefs." Maybe the Assure lesson plan is not one that I prefer because it uses all of these elements that are not familiar to what we know from our experience in the K-12 classroom, and that are such a big part of teacher change. People often do not feel very comfortable with change.

TereCerv Xtranormal Clip Attached is my Xtranormal clip (an intro to polynomials). I was unable to upload my lesson plans (I do not know why). As I mentioned in class, I liked the structure of the Assure lesson plan, but I did not prefer one method over the other. Since I am not a practicing teacher, I do not have preferred method of plannin. I am enjoying being introduced to various methods of planning.

They are both decent lesson plans in a vast ocean of lesson plans.

Jeffrey Felcan's lesson plans: Since I am in special education, I did not care for either of these lesson plan formats. There is no room to put in modifications/accommpdations. I also didnt like the format that they were in. In my special education classes, we used other, more special ed. friendly, lesson plan formats.

Since I am not teaching, I applied my field trip and powerpoint presentations to the ASSURE Model lesson plan. Since I have been using the Hunter lesson plan format, this was new to me, and to be honest, I don't like the ASSURE model as much as Hunter's, but it is another tool to use.

Patrice's Tech Tac Toe Project: State Projects, Learning Italian Powerpoints, and Mysterious Giant of Barletta Powerpoint Jeopardy Game. Assure Model Lesson plans are also provided in the zip folder. I enjoyed working on all projects and my students greatly benefited! Enjoy!!!
