Technology Integration Assignment

This class will be an ongoing exploration of technology in education. Because we all have different needs both as teachers and learners - I want to try a self-directed learning approach, using resources (linked here) to start you out, and my assistance as needed.

Your assignment is to prepare a lesson plan that includes technology integration (anything, from low-tech to high-tech) that you choose; deliver the lesson, and share what you learned with the group.

1. Assignment - create a lesson plan.  I've made a simple form available in google docs, or as a Word doc (email me for that), which lists the lesson plan requirements.  You can use any planning format you like, as long as you include all of the elements I've outlined.  Click here for the Lesson Planner.
2. Resources - I've put together some resources to start you off.  I've created two interest areas:
• Communication / Language Acquisition 
• Writing - written expression

You'll find resource links on the left side of this Blog, under 'Virtual Classroom Links'.  The Communication and Writing links are actually a set of 10 sites grouped together in something called a ShareTab, which looks like this:

To share information, ideas, collaborate, comment, and interact - we can post messages on a 'wallwisher', pictured below.  Easy to add messages, to try it click here.
