Questions for the Media-Rich Lesson Plan Reflection

Here are the things that you need to address in your reflection:

1. Summarize an article on using technology effectively in the classroom (see the link in an earlier post).

2. Discuss how your lesson plan does or does not exhibit characteristics of effective technology integration as outlined in the article. Be specific.

3. Describe the implementation of your lesson plan. What went well, what didn't, what did you learn from the experience, etc.

4. Identify one NETS standard for teachers for which this lesson plan demonstrates your growth as a teacher. Be specific about how this artifact corresponds with and shows your growth in that standard.

5. Identify one NETS standard for students for which this lesson plan will help your students. Be specific about how this artifact corresponds with and helps your students grow in that standard.

6. Evaluate your progress regarding technology use over the course of this semester. How has this lesson plan changed your beliefs about technology use? Name two specific areas in which you still need to develop and cite some specific ways that you might improve in those areas.

This Week

Welcome back! This week, you should have:

1. Your technology interview

2. Your tech interview reflection (blog)

3. An idea or, preferably, a script for your digital story

If you have not given me your blog address post-crash, please do so as soon as possible. I'm trying to get grade reports up for you but need the blogs to get those done.

Some people asked for more ideas for the digital story, so here are some resources where you can find some that other people have done:

Educational Uses of Digital Storytelling

Center for Digital Storytelling

DigiTales

Hope those give you some good ideas. Remember that you can use children's stories, poems, songs, etc. as well as works of your own creation as long as you cite where you got everything and, if possible, ask for permission.

I'll see you on Thursday!
