What steps, related to the content and the technology skills, will the teacher and students go through to reach the intended outcomes? (Taking on the process in smaller chunks will help students succeed!)

 

A. Identification of instructional resources and materials

Related to the use if instructional technology, teacher preparation might include:

  • identifying appropriate electronic resources or websites, then organizing them for students using bookmarks or hyperlinks within an instructional document

  • developing graphic organizers for student use (ex. for student note taking while conducting online research; for development of storyboard plans for a multimedia or digital video presentation). See samples.

  • creating templates (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OpenOffice) to guide student work

 

B. Selection of instructional strategies for content and technology goals, i.e. direct instruction, guided practice, modeling, providing examples, cooperative learning

 

C. Identification of matching student activities

D. Identification of a calendar of student activities. This will help you determine which days you will need equipment or personnel support and give you a general guideline of how long the unit will be.

 

E. Determination of how, and to whom, students will publish, present or share their learning.
