Lesson Idea
X 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.
students after listening to the audiobook getting into groups of 2-4 and make a PowerPoint
off what they learned about the audiobook. I would make students aware of their goals by
writing I can statement on the board. Which would go over the expectation at the end of the
lesson that students are expected to know the difference between different life cycles.
Students will utilize the technology by using the audiobook I made as a resource for
knowledge and as an example of a project I would like them to create. The teacher will teach
the first part of the lesson, then walk around and see if students are on track with what I
asked them to do and help any student that needs it. Feedback will be provided to the
students throughout the teacher consistently checking the groups work and while they
present their PowerPoint to the entire class. I would conclude the lesson by talking about
how they can use the audiobook I made and the PowerPoints they made in the future while
talking about this topic and diving into further topics since we will be using something similar
in the future. I will also remind the students if they did not finish, we can work on it
throughout the week, and they will always have access to the audiobook.
Managing the technology/engagement: Describe a way to use this technology in a way that
gets students actively involved in authentic tasks and contexts? How will you manage the
classroom behaviors on the technology:
This technology will get students actively involved in authentic tasks and contexts by
making them plan out their projects before they put it in the PowerPoint, I am assigning
them in their groups of 2-4. This means students would have about 10-20 minutes to sit
with their groups to write out a plan before hoping onto the computer after watching the
audiobook. Before hopping back on the computers, I would remind students of the learning
goals and spend 5 minutes with each group having them tell me what they have come up
with. After reminding the groups about the goals and going and checking up on all the
students I would have them spend the reminder of the class time we have working on their
presentations. As they are working on the presentations I would go around and remind
them some more of the learning goals they must meet during this project and make sure
they are all doing okay. I would also make group members assign tasks to each other so
they can also all keep each other on track. This would be a co-engagement, because
students are engaged with writing out their plan and then going onto the PowerPoint they
are creating and using the information they came up with the preplanning they have done
on a sheet of paper. I will manage behaviors on technology by closely monitoring what the
students are doing on their computer. If students are getting off task, I would redirect them
to what we are working on and if they get frustrated or upset have them take a break and
then come back.
