STANDARD 3 – Application of Technology Instruction
The competent teacher will apply learning technologies that support instruction in his or her grade level and subject areas. He or she must plan and deliver instructional units that integrate a variety of software, applications, and learning tools. Lessons developed must reflect effective grouping and assessment strategies for diverse populations.
Artifact: Technology-Based Lesson Plan
Reflective Statement:
The artifact that I chose for this standard is a technology-based lesson plan that incorporates a Web 2.0 computer application called Dipity into a lesson that has the students explore the major events that occurred during Ancient Egyptian history by creating a digital timeline.
In this lesson plan, I apply the learning technology of the Dipity timeline in order to support my students’ learning about Ancient Egyptian history. The students are able to use the technology provided in this lesson to further explore and discover new facts about or events in Ancient Egyptian history. This lesson also has the students practice socially responsible, ethical, and legal use of technology and software resources by citing their sources within their Dipity Timeline. Furthermore, the technology-based lesson promotes student grouping strategies for collaboration while creating the Dipity Timeline.
Through the creation of this lesson plan, I have learned about the existence of Web 2.0 applications and how to incorporate them into my lessons as a technological resource for the students. I now know how to integrate technology into a lesson plan that will not only enhance the students learning process, but also offer more options to gain knowledge from. Making this lesson plan also gave me practice in improving my skills for creating engaging lesson plans. Throughout this process, I realized just how much more engaging a small, yet interactive technological addition can make any lesson plan.
