Before and After

Introduction

Using technology, diversity, and digital citizenship in the new lesson has changed and

improved the lesson in many ways. The new lesson will improve the learning experience for my

young students. The new lesson has several activities for students to complete. The activities in

the lesson fits my student’s different learning styles and abilities. This lesson includes songs,

interactive games, and an assessment for students. This lesson should take one day for students

to complete.

Technology Decisions

Technology was used throughout the entire lesson. Technology was used during teacher

modeling, guided practice, independent practice and the closing of the lesson. When designing

the new lesson, I used the ASSURE model. The ASSURE model focuses on the learner. The first

step of the ASSURE model is to analyze your learners. I chose the activities in the new lesson

based on my learner’s age and abilities. My students are very young and have never used a

computer. My activities in the new lesson is simple and easy for my students to use. The

technology I decided to use in the lesson was Abcya.com, Seesaw, and Smart Notebook. These

technology tools will help my lesson be engaging for my students.

The technology tools that are used in the lesson are new to my students. In my

kindergarten classroom, many of my students have never been to school. This will be their first

time using a computer. Before teaching this lesson, I would introduce how to use the computer

and how to use the technology tools on the computer to my students in small groups and one-on-

one. These small groups would be done several times to practice using the computer. This would

help my students to become familiar and comfortable with using the computer.
EDIT 610 FINAL PROJECT 6

Abcya.com is being used during guided practice for the lesson. Students are playing an

alphabet bingo game to practice identifying letters. The game provides my students an interactive

learning experience Students listen and click the letters on their bingo card. When a student has

three in a row they win. Students can play the bingo game multiple times.

Seesaw is being used during independent practice for the lesson. Students are matching

uppercase and lowercase letters in seesaw. Students are completing the assessment on seesaw

instead of completing a cut and paste worksheet. Seesaw provides an interactive learning

experience for students. Students are able to use their finger to drag their lowercase letters to the

uppercase letters. Students are engaged and excited when completing the activity.

The last technology tool used in the lesson is Smart Notebook. The Smart Notebook is

used during the closing. The Smart Notebook is a review of what was taught during the lesson.

The smartboard activity will include activities for students to identify letters. The closing will be

done whole group, students will come to the smartboard to play the activity as a class. My

students love coming up to use the smartboard. They will be engaged in their learning.

Diverse Needs of Learners

The students in my classroom have various learning needs and styles that have to be

accommodated in my instruction. I plan my lessons to fit the need of my students. When

planning and designing lessons for my students I try to make sure my activities are accessible for

my students. For activities to be accessible for students they have to be understandable,

perceivable, operable, and robust. Students must be able to understand the activity. Students

must also be able to perceive the activity. There should be text for pictures and videos. The

activities must also be easy to use and easy to navigate (Verock-O'Loughlin, Maloy, Edwards, &

Woolf, 2014). My lesson plan is accessible for students because the text of the video is displayed
EDIT 610 FINAL PROJECT 7

on the bottom of the video. My lesson plan is accessible for students because the activities I

chose is easy to use and easy to navigate.

Targeted Digital Citizenship

Since my students are in kindergarten, digital citizenship is something they have never

heard about. For this lesson, I wanted my kindergarten students to have a positive experience

when using the computer. Students had a positive experience by completing interactive games

and activities. The lesson had the teacher model how to use the Chromebook and also how to

safely use the Chromebook online.

Conclusion

The new lesson plan improved the original lesson plan significantly. The new lesson plan

included songs, a read aloud, online games, and online activities. The new lesson plans learning

objectives were met. The lesson plan met the content standards and the technology standards. I

used the ASSURE model when planning this lesson. I like how the ASSURE model focuses on

the learner. The ASSURE model is used by many teacher in the classroom.

mastering the ISTE learning goals. Students will be assesses by their performance on seesaw.

The teacher will assess students by if they correctly match the uppercase and lowercase letters of

the alphabet. Students will not receive a grade for the seesaw activity. The teacher will use the

result for small group instruction. Students will be assessed by teacher observation for the Smart

Notebook activity. The teacher will observe if the student is mastering the learning goal. A

summative assessment will be given at the end of the nine weeks to assess student’s mastery of

the learning goal.
