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 the teacher's direction and expectations.

☐ 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.

☐ 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 it via an outside source.

Lesson idea implementation:


I will show students the PowerPoint audio eBook. After they view the eBook, I will guide
them and show them how to use the productivity tool. Including how to access pictures, make
recordings, how to add text, etc. I will also give time for students to ask questions about the

productivity tool and answer them accordingly. The students will create their own eBook as
the activity for this lesson. They will do this in pairs of 2-3. They will create an eBook using
the same productivity tool to identify the different parts of a plant. Once they are grouped
together, they will brainstorm ideas on how they want to create their eBook and what
information they want to share. They will be provided with a storyboard to help them organize
their thoughts and create a plan. They will turn in their storyboard to me before accessing the
computers. I will review and provide descriptive feedback to students so students can see if
there are any changes to be made in their stories. This is done so they can make sure they are
on the right track to being successful. Once they have received the okay from me to move on,
students will begin working on their computers with the productivity tool to create their
eBooks. Students will have a rubric/checklist to follow to ensure they are aware of their goals.
After each point on the checklist, they can receive feedback from me before moving onto the
next step. I will also be walking around and assisting students with the tool one on one if
needed. To conclude the lesson, students will get to share their eBooks with the class.

Managing the technology/engagement: Describe a way to use this technology in a way


that gets students actively involved in authentic tasks and contexts? How will you
manage the classroom behaviors on the technology:
Students will work on their eBook during the science period of the day. Students will use the
rubric/checklist to ensure they are staying on task and working in a timely manner. I will have
the desired progress point written on the board for students to reference to see where they
should be at in their work each day. Students will also create a story board before creating their
eBook on the computers. This activity also includes Co-use/Co-engagement so students can
work together to create a product and to solve problems together.

Universal Design for Learning (UDL):


This engagement tool provides a way for students to display what they know in a different
form other than in paper form. This tool allows students to be creative and show what they
know through different means. This tool enhances the learning experience for students by
providing them with a sense of control and by keeping them engaged. This tool allows
students to use a variety of pictures, sounds, and texts to express their learning. This aspect of
the tool supports the UDL principle of representation. I hope that allowing students to engage
with this presentation tool will encourage them that they can show what they know in a variety
of ways. Students tend to engage in learning the most when they can collaborate with each
other. Allowing them to work collaboratively will enhance their learning experience. This aids
to the engagement principle of the UDL framework.

Reflecting on enhanced learning:


After designing this lesson, I think the activity created will excite students about learning. I
think students will be curious and more engaged with the material. I think this will help them
retain and expand their learning. I look forward to implementing this presentation tool in my
classroom and seeing how students creatively choose to express what they know. Students do
not get to be creative that often and I look forward to seeing what they can make and how
choice impacts their desire to learn.
