Instructions
From educational apps and online research to collaborative platforms and multimedia presentations, technology empowers students to take an active role in their education. It also helps develop critical skills such as digital literacy, problem-solving, and creative thinking. By leveraging technology, educators can create a dynamic and inclusive learning environment that supports diverse learning styles and fosters academic growth.
Step 1. Research
Research online for a technology tool you can integrate into a lesson plan for your content area.
Step 2. Select
Select the technology tool for your students to use in the classroom. “Social media” or “internet” is not appropriate. You must choose a specific platform, such as Padlet or Screencastify, that your students will actively use.
Step 3. Create
Create a table highlighting the use of the technology tool in your classroom. Your table must include:
- The grade level and content area for which you are planning
- At least one state academic standard for your content area
- At least one ISTE standard
- At least two objectives from the standards you reference- one technology objective & one content objective
- Example of how the technology tool will be used in a lesson to target the objectives
- The risks or drawbacks of using this specific technology tool
- Minimizing the risks or drawbacks
You may use . An example is included as well.
Step 4. Submit
When ready, upload your table and tech tool example as one PDF file below.
You must score at least 8 points to demonstrate mastery on this assignment.
Please reach out to your course instructor for questions and assistance on assignments.
