Chapter 3 Developing Lessons with Technology

2. Lesson Development
There are 3
interrelated elements
involved in lesson
planning
• Academic Content- What to
Teach
• Teaching Methods- How to
Teach
• Learning Assessments -
What Students have Learned

3. Using Technology in Lesson Development
What to Teach:
Using technology opens up a wide range of resources for
teachers as they make choices about academic content.
Some examples include: Internet search engines,
electronic databases, online encyclopedias, blogs, and
wikis.

4. How to Teach
Teachers must decide what methods and procedures the are
going to use when teaching. Technology can support this
process in a variety of ways:
- Presentation software
-Visual thinking software
- Web-based diagram
-Teacher-developed websites
-threaded discussions and email
-Podcasts, blogs and wikis
- Interactive software
- WebQuests
-Intelligent tutoring systems
- Digital cameral and movie making software
-Assistive technologies

5. Knowing What
Students Have
Learned
Before, during and after teaching a lesson
teachers need to be able to assess student
learning. There are many technology
related tools that make this job easier such
as electronic tests and quizzes, digital
portfolios, personal response systems,
online surveys, and online evaluation
rubrics.

6. Approaches to Lesson Planning
Student Learning Objectives: What will the students be
able to do after the lesson is taught?
Objectives
1. tell who
2.is going to do what
3.when
4.how much or how often and
5.how it will be measured or evaluated.

7. Understanding by Design:
• Stage 1: Identify desired results (enduring understandings and
essential questions
• Stage 2: Determine acceptable evidence (assessment strategies)
• Stage 3: Plan learning experiences and instruction (objectives and
methods)
Using Technology in lesson Planning
- Many organizations provide
downloadable lesson planning or “UBD”
templates.
- TrackStar: a portal for teachers to upload
lesson plans

8. Meeting Educational
Standards
National curriculum
frameworks guide teachers’
decisions about “what to
teach” but leave room for
teachers to decide “how to
teach”.

9. Assessing and Evaluating Students
• There are 3 factors that influence teachers as they think about assessment: their personal
experiences, standardized testing, and teacher tests.
• Assessment happens throughout a unit or lesson while evaluation usually comes at the
end of a unit.
• Performance assessments give students a variety of different ways to present what they
have learned. Students are then assessed using performance rubrics.
• Tests assessments: norm reference tests compare students to other students while
criterion referenced tests compare students’ performance to set standards.
• Standards based assessments are a new variation of standardized tests where there are
specific guidelines of what students should know and be able to do at each grade level.

10. Using Technology for Assessment
Technology Tools Assessments
- Word Processing and Power Point - Papers and presentations by students
- Digital portfolios - Examples of work completed by students
- Videos or Podcasts - Performances by students
