- Choose a technology tool that you can integrate into a lesson plan for your content area. Do not write "social media" or "internet." Specify the platform, e.g., Padlet, Flip, Jamboard, Peardeck, or a specific website that your students will use to learn new information about a specific topic, etc.
- Provide the grade level and content area for which you are planning.
- Copy/paste one state standard for your content area and one ISTE standard. Then create two objectives from the standards you reference – a content area objective and a technology objective.
- How will using this technology enhance the student learning of each objective? Make sure to detail the lesson you will teach to target both objectives.
- What are the risks or drawbacks to using this technology in the classroom? How will you minimize these issues? Make sure to discuss issues specific to the chosen technology tool and not to the use of technology in general.
1. What grade level and content area are you targeting this assignment to? What specific technology tool will you include in a lesson? This should be a specific website, program, or application you will teach your students to use as a part of the lesson.
2. Copy/paste 1 state standard for your content area. Create a properly written objective for your lesson that aligns with that standard.
3. Copy/paste 1 state ISTE standard for technology. Create a properly written objective for your lesson that aligns with the technology standard you have referenced. What technology skill will you teach?
4. Explain how you will use the technology in a lesson to teach your objectives. How will the use of this technology enhance learning of your objectives? This should be more than explaining an assignment you will give. To be considered for full credit, you must detail the lesson you plan to teach in the classroom. This should not include using technology at home.
5. What are the risks and drawbacks of implementing this technology tool in a lesson in the classroom? You need to discuss specific issues with teaching students to use your specific technology tool in the classroom and not issues with technology in general or using technology at home. How will you minimize each of these issues?
