Unit 3: How to Incorporate Instructional Technology
Unit 3: How to Incorporate Instructional Technology
After this unit the participants will be able to...
- Take each component learned throughout the course and apply it through utilizing their platform of choice and creating their own lesson.
Participants will create their own lesson including:
- An instructional technology platform of their choice,
- Objectives that align with standards,
- Assessments (diagnostic, formative and summative),
- Activities that will help to guide students towards accomplishing the learning targets that were previously put in place.
Start Here!
In this unit you are going to use everything you learned about Instructional Technology to create a lesson plan of your own! You are going to utilize at least one of the platforms we have learned about and/or a different platform you know about from any type of research.
The point of this unit is to review and show what you have learned and taken away from this mini-course so far as well as anything about lesson plans that you know of. This is more of an independent and open unit so have fun with it!
Review
To begin, let's start with what we already know about Instructional Technology platforms. You can go back to the Google Slides that we explored in our previous units in order to get a better idea about strategies and platforms. Also, keep in mind some of the platforms we discussed in our previous units.
Some of these platforms included:
- Quizlet
- Kahoot!
- Desmos
- Interactive Whiteboards
- Augmented/Virtual Reality
- Such as Nearpod
- Peardeck
Remember: Use everything you know about creating lesson plans when it comes to objectives and goals for your participants. Use this worksheet to use as a guide for creating your lesson. Make a copy of it and edit it as you go along.
Look at this Example
If you would like an example to view, look at this lesson that utilizes Desmos!
"Graphing Piecewise Functions Over Absolute Vale Using Desmos"
What Did We Add to Our Toolbox?
After this unit, participants have created their own lessons utilizing their own choice of Instructional Technology. According to "Bloom's Taxonomy" participants should now have great knowledge of Instructional Technology and incorporating them in their lessons, more specifically in their math lessons that have...
- Objectives that align with standards,
- Assessments (diagnostic, formative and summative),
- Activities that will help to guide students towards accomplishing the learning targets that were previously put in place.
This concludes our Technology Toolbox!
Congratulations! Once you are done with this unit, that means you have successfully completed the course!
