2, Discussion: Your Classroom
After examining the readings for

your classroom and describe which competencies' levels you
required of your students. Post
your response in a message posted to the Discussion list titled

technology in your classroom, describe a lesson you are familiar
with, perhaps the lesson of one of your colleagues.
Activity

On the readings page, review the available lesson plan databases.
- Find a lesson that matches your grade level and/or content
area that incorporates an innovative use of either a spreadsheet,
a database, or a word processing program.
- Recommend that lesson to the class, including your rationale
for the recommendation.
Post your recommendation to the Discussion
list titled TT: Module 1, Activity 3.

assessment of their recommendations and rationale.
Post your responses to the Discussion list using TT: Module

Activity
4, Discussion: Video Analysis
View the three required
videos. Select one video which you
feel best exemplified creative and educational uses of technology.
In a message posted to the Discussion list titled TT: Module
1, Activity 4, explain how the teacher incorporated technology
to enhance the lesson he/she presented in a creative and educational
manner.
Respond to the postings of two other classmates. If possible,
respond to one with whom you hold similar beliefs and one
with whom you disagree.
Post your responses to the Discussion list using TT: Module
1, Activity 4a as your subject line.
Activity
5, Lesson Plan: Identify a Lesson
As you saw in the videos we viewed in this module, it is critically
important that technology adds value to the lesson. It cannot
be included for the sake of inclusion; it must somehow bring
an additional element to the lesson.
During this course, you will be developing
a Lesson Plan that incorporates technology so that it adds
value to that lesson.
- For this module, you need to identify a
lesson that would last at least three class sessions in
length. In the subsequent modules, you will be creating
a Lesson Plan, step by step.
- Share the Lesson Plan title and a one to
two paragraph description of the lesson with a classmate
assigned to you by the Instructor. Complete a PQP
Peer Review for one another.
- Send an email to your Instructor giving
the title and a one to two paragraph description of your
lesson. Title the email
TT: Module 1, Activity 5. Your Instructor may make
suggestions for improvement.
