You can choose from among the following software applications:
- Microsoft Word
- Microsoft Excel
- Microsoft Access
Choose an Illinois Learning Standard Performance Descriptor (available http://www.isbe.state.il.us/ils/html/descriptors.htm). To do this, you must narrow your focus to a particular subject and grade level.
- Write a lesson plan that uses the software in substantive ways. Roblyer gives a lot of substantive examples for you to modify, or you can choose your own.
Use this Word Lesson Plan template to complete your plan.
- Also, create a sample of the kind of student work that would be considered excellent.
Your Lesson Plan must meet the following criteria:
- Include a realistic time frame so students can learn how to use the software as well as the subject matter.
- Use the unique capabilities of the software to support instructional activities. This means that you can't just replace paper and pencil with the software.
- Save instructional time and/or make possible activities that would be otherwise impossible.
Please have your Illinois Learning Standard performance descriptor and software selected before class on January 26th. Completed Lesson Plans (including a sample of high quality student work) due February 23rd.
Roblyer provides these critiera for evaluating technology integrated lessons:
- an outside observer sees the technology activity as a seamless part of the lesson
- the reason for using the technology is obvious to you, the students, and others
- the students are focusing on learning, not the technology
- you can describe how technology is helping a particular student
- you would have difficulty accomplishing lesson activities if the technology weren't there
- you can explain easily and concisely what the technology is supposed to contribute
- all students are participating with the technology and benefiting from it
