Lesson 2 Phase II

Instructional Decisions/Teaching (InTask Standard # 9): Discuss the implementation process and describe.

Group work can sometimes be challenging. Working with Abigail and Stephanie was the opposite of challenging. Abigail constructed the best designed Prezi I have ever seen. Stephanie contributed a Madeline Hunter lesson plan as background. Everything from a preparation standpoint was phenomenal. The presentation was limited to strictly how we incorporated technology, making it awkward having to skip 88% of work prepared materials. It was pointed out by professor Wilkie that our standard in no way was represented within our lesson. It would be prevalent in lessons to follow. Modifications included skimming slides, readdressing our SWBAT, and giving specific directions for creating Google questionnaire.

Mechanics:     

The technology used started off with creating a Google classroom. Each student could access lesson plan, example of questionnaire, and Prezi. All technology was available for both teacher and learner. Google classroom was designed for usage as a digital platform to share or submit information between participants. Google forms acted as the technology artifact template in building a survey to meet mathematic standards. Our lesson was long for the correct period. It would have been appropriate for the original description of lesson three.

Assessment of Learning (In Task Standard # 6): Refer to Assessing Student Learning

 

 

All students could complete a successful artifact to meet our ISTE standard 1 of facilitate and inspire student learning and creativity, and standard 3 of design/develop digital age learning experiences and assessments. While one student clearly was inspired with usage of images she made available in her artifact above. My individual reflection supports this analysis. We received little to no feedback outside of artifact submissions.

What did you learn from designing and teaching this lesson and how will you use this in the creation of future lessons/learning activities.

The biggest take away from lesson three will be in the advantages of using google classroom. It has real time capabilities to assess and give feedback. Benefits also included having to teach myself how to use google forms to create a survey. A later required assignment I completed with ease.
 

Lesson 1 Phase II

 

1. Instructional Decisions/Teaching (InTask Standard # 9): Discuss the implementation process and describe

Lesson one was presented in a Prezi format. This is fairly new technology to me but have loved many accessories including embedding of YouTube videos. Creating a wonderful flow to the overall lesson. Alignment of objective to standards was spot on. Modifications include not showing a video outlining new age technique for multiplying whole and decimal numbers. Several students were using MAC products that require steps not outlined within the lesson. Courtney was gracious enough to walk classmates to acquire a screen snip.  

2. Mechanics:

The technology used was utilizing a program found on computers called the Snip Tool presented in a Prezi format. Lesson one centered around buying school supply items in bulk. Students were instructed to add items to their shopping cart from outlined list of options. Upon completing tasks within budget, learners would screen shot their cart using Snip Tool. My lesson was too long because I included to many scaffolding strategies in linking content knowledge to assignment. This lead to cutting information not prevalent to completing the technology tasks.

3. Assessment of Learning (InTask Standard # 6): Refer to Assessing Student Learning

 

Students did a wonderful job at completing their objective for the technology segment of this lesson. The assessment was not based strictly around standards, creating a gap of learning and standards. Level of success was high in regards to incorporating technology to produce an artifact. However, classmates were critical in linking the assignment with the mathematics objective.

4. What did you learn from designing and teaching this lesson and how will you use this in the creation of future lessons/learning activities.

I learned that working with students not all using the same technology, myself included, produces obstacles in which will hinder implementation. Specifically using Mac computers and all others. Alterations would include materials for ELL students, completed examples of work expectations, and more practice mastering mathematics standard.
