What is the student learning goal for this lesson idea?

Student will become more familiar and better at using Basic Productivity Tools. They will use
these tools to help learn new things and become better with technology.
Selected Instructional Software Tool: PowerPoint
URL(s) to support the lesson (if applicable):
Bloom’s Digital Taxonomy Level(s):

How will this lesson be implemented? Check all that apply:
☐ Teacher-directed: There is no student voice and choice in the activities. Students are guided by
teacher direction and expectations.
X Student-Led: Students are given voice and choice in the activities. They may select the topic for
presentation and/or determine the tool they will use to meet the learning goal. Products of
learning will be uniquely designed. Teacher simply facilitates the learning in a lesson like this.
X Project-based and/or Publishable: Students are completing projects to demonstrate their learning
and the projects can be shared outside of the classroom. This objective could be reached by
displaying the project on the school’s morning newscast, posting the project to the classroom
blog, presenting it to another class, or publishing via an outside source.

the teacher time to walk through the lesson and give the student time to create their own
eBook. Students will be assessed on how well they are able to be creative and share their
story as an eBook. This will allow differentiation by giving students the option to be creative
and choose the prompt of their eBook. Higher level learning levels will be challenged by
allowing the students to create non-fiction based stories about science or history. The lesson
will be concluded by having the students share their eBook with the class and allowing the
class to give feedback to one another after they present. I will give feedback to each student
separately after all eBooks are watched.
Managing engagement:
These tools will cause students to become active social learners because they will be creating
their own product while interacting with classmates by sharing their ideas and opinions. I will
give the students the appropriate amount of time to create and come up with their ideas for
their eBook and then allow them to share their ideas with a classmate to help them turn their
ideas into a script.
Universal Design for Learning (UDL):

Microsoft PowerPoint is a Basic Productivity Tool that helps all students learn. It allows all students to
learn at their level while providing learning aids like rehearsing with a coach. Because the student is
able to create their own product with this tool, it will fall under the action and expression of the
Universal Design for Learning principles. The students have access to a type of tool and assistive
technology as an option for physical action.
Reflecting on enhanced learning:

At the end of this lesson, students should be able to use a Basic Productivity Tool to create a
product. Using PowerPoint as a tool to create an eBook will help teach them the basic and
fundamental operations of technology which will prepare them to use these tools in a more
advanced way in the future. Using these tools is a great ay to incorporate differentiation for
the students unlike if they were to create a story on paper.
