Overview of your full lesson plan

Identify the goals (the larger one + smaller outcomes)

● Why you chose this topic?

● What is your context?
● What is the age group?
● What are your goals?
Rationale

This is where you explain the type of technology-integrated learning that you are using. This could refer
to:

● Using technology as a tool

● as a space to learn
● as an object to analyze

★ Pedagogical theories/concepts; teaching frameworks

Practical guidelines
● Detailed

● Easy to follow

● Reflect the goals/objectives

1) State your topic and restate the overarching goals (and small objectives)

2) Explain the activity

Tips for (further) developing an activity

Start with the context and goal:

● Where are you delivering this? (school). To whom? Why?

● What is the larger goal you want to achieve? knowledge-related/skills-related
● Once you have this large goal, establish the smaller, more concrete objectives
 - An Example: goal + objectives + a brief activity
Larger goal: to teach children how to recycle

Smaller objectives:

● Identify educational resources about recycling for kids

● Find ways that the school can recycle
● Communicate these ways to other students and staff

【 Critical Media Literacy 】 first activity would then be:

● Teach students the principles of digital literacy

● Have them practice digital literacy on a couple of websites
● Let students find more resources on their own
Practical guidelines
2) Explain the activity as you would to a teacher that never taught it before, this means

● Implementation guidelines (set up, resources)

○ Imagine if you were to teach a brand new activity, what would you need to know?

● Provide the steps for the steps for the activity

○ The role of the students
○ The role of the teacher
○ Time
○ Technology

● Barriers
3) Differentiated instruction

● Be mindful of your context

● Explain what a teacher would do to ensure that students with needs are supported
● You can also suggest extension tasks for advanced students
4) Assessment

● Ensure that each objective is met

● The assessment should be adapted to each of your learning goals
- Another Example
Topic Environment

Objectives CML (analysis of news sources); understanding of environmental issues

Tech News websites, as a learning tool; an object to analyze

Pedagogical framework CML; inquiry-based learning

Resources Materials: computer, Internet access, list of websites; Teacher knowledge/skills: T-PACK

Teacher/student role Students initiate and pursue search in teams, inform their peers of their findings; teachers as guide

Differentiated instruction Students with difficulty: focus on some elements of the analysis; Advanced:
mentorship/additional websites

Assessment Students identified and explained issues; thoughtful choices of news sources
