Lesson Idea
☐ Teacher-directed: There is no student voice and choice in the activities. Students are guided by the
teacher's direction and expectations.
☐ Student-Led: Students are given voice and choice in the activities. They may select the topic for
presentation and/or determine the tool they will use to meet the learning goal. Products of
learning will be uniquely designed. Teacher simply facilitates the learning in a lesson like this.
☐ Project-based and/or Publishable: Students are completing projects to demonstrate their learning
and the projects can be shared outside of the classroom. This objective could be reached by
displaying the project on the school’s morning newscast, posting the project to the classroom
blog, presenting it to another class, or publishing it via an outside source.
counting mistake like the boy did in the book. Students will use technology to help them
read. The PowerPoint I created will have my voice recording that student can follow along.
After the students have finished reading the book. We will work together to complete some
sample problems. I will then give feedback to students who are doing well or need some
extra attention. As a class, we will create a video to show how each student counts different
objects. I will have my co teacher help me with this activity, but the students will get into
groups of four. Each group will go around the room and choose items they want to use for
their video. We will create a video collage with each group pointing and counting correctly. I
will conclude my lesson with a game. I will put out 4 cards with 4 different numbers on them.
Each student will get a bag of fruit loops. It is the student's job to put the correct number of
fruit loops on each card.
Managing engagement: Describe a way to use this technology in a way that gets students
actively involved in authentic tasks and contexts?
Imbedded in the book, are questions that allow the student to participate and practice their
counting. This keeps the student focused on their learning goal which is bettering their
counting skills. After learning and practicing their counting the student will then create a
video or teach other students how to count correctly. Using the co-use/ co-engagement
method, students will work with their groups to come up with a plan of how they want to
create their video. Students will make sure that they are pointing to each object and
corresponding one number to one object. Students will use their technology resource to
create a video on how to count properly.
Universal Design for Learning (UDL):
This activity helps support all students learning, especially my kindergartener's. The book that
was made has a voice recording that reads the book to them. With me being their teacher,
it's helpful for them to hear a familiar voice reading a story to them. The interactive question
in the helps with the student's engagement in the lesson. Many of the students in my class
may not be able to read, but those students that can practice their reading with the provided
close captions on the video.
