Bpts Basic Productivity Tools Lesson Idea Template

This document outlines a 2nd grade lesson plan that teaches students how to create eBooks using PowerPoint. The goal is for students to develop, test, and refine prototypes as part of a design process. Students will work individually and collaboratively to storyboard, script, and create eBooks on topics they choose. They will add audio voiceovers and present their finished eBooks to the class. The teacher will provide feedback on students' progress. By creating eBooks, students will learn how PowerPoint can be used in different ways beyond presentations while engaging their visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learning styles through a hands-on project.

Basic Productivity Presentation Tool

Lesson Idea

Lesson Idea Name: Basic Productivity Presentation Tool Lesson Idea


Grade Level/Content Area: 2nd Grade
Content Standard Addressed: CSS.IDC.K-2.4 – Use the Design Process (use, modify, create)
with a variety of tools to identify and solve problems by creating new, modified, or
imaginative solutions.
ISTE Technology Standard Addressed: What would you like students to know and
Innovative Designer – Element 1.4.c. Students be able to do by the end of this lesson:
develop, test and refine prototypes as part of a I want students to be able to develop, test and
cyclical design process. refine prototypes as part of a cyclical design
process.
What is the student learning goal for this lesson idea?
My goal that I want students to achieve is to be able to put their designs that they have been
creating in their heads into real life. This would be by making prototypes, which is the original
design of something which other versions are made off and testing these prototypes to see if
their creations and designs work in the real world.
Selected Basic Productivity Tool: PowerPoint desktop version.
URL(s) to support the lesson (if applicable):

Bloom’s Digital Taxonomy Level(s):


☐ Remembering ☐ Understanding ☐ Applying X Analyzing X Evaluating ☐ Creating

How will this lesson be implemented? Check all that apply.

X 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.

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 it via an outside source.

Lesson idea implementation: The activity I will plan for the students using this tool is for
them to create their own eBooks using PowerPoint. I want them to be aware of how this
technology works and how it is not only used for creating presentations but can be utilized in
numerous different ways. The students will be aware of their goals by having the result in this
lesson to have a functioning eBook. The teacher will be demonstrating how to use this

technology in a different but similar way to how they have been previously taught. The
teacher will also be explaining how to create this eBook and what all they must create and
what the result should look like. Feedback will be delivered to the students by the teacher
having them send in their eBooks with each step they complete, so this will implement the
prototype and testing part of the standard that I mentioned earlier. Therefore, sending the
unfinished eBooks to the teacher will have the teacher be able to critique on the students’
progress and letting them know what to improve on and what they are doing correctly. The
lesson will conclude with the students finished eBooks being displayed for the class to listen
and read and they can see all the good work they have done as individuals and as a
classroom.
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:
In this lesson I want students to create a storyboard and/or a written script for their eBooks
so they can have a good idea of what they want to create, and something to use a resource
when they are creating this eBook. As well, I want the students to be able to collaborate on
these eBooks, I find working in groups sometimes is a lot more helpful for the students to
bounce their ideas off each other. As well as collaboration, I want students to have their goal
in mind, to be able to have a finished eBook that has audio attached to it, this eBook should
be describing a topic they are interested in, or a topic that they want to teach to the rest of
the class. I also want to implement time limits and breaks in this lesson, because working for
an entire class period on the same thing is just never effective because the students get antsy
and uninterested. I want them to be able to find joy in this project and not feel like it is a
hassle, so by implementing breaks and time limits it will give them a bit of space from the
project.
Universal Design for Learning (UDL):
This technology tool supports all learners because it has visual learning involved because it is
a slideshow/eBook presentation that has pictures and words on the slideshow, so visual
learned is implemented in this way, so students that learn better visually are being
represented. Then it also encapsulates the auditory learning component by having the
eBooks require a voiceover of the pages, so this helps the students that learn more from
audio. Lastly this is kinesthetic learning as well because making these PowerPoints/eBooks is
a hands-on activity, so the children that work better by being hands on are represented. This
project is really supporting the principle of Engagement that UDL has, this is because this
project is keeping the children engaged by creating the slides of the eBook, then recording
their voiceovers for the eBook, and finally presenting this eBook.

Reflecting on enhanced learning:


I think the activities I have created will enhance student learning by having them be able to
have autonomy over what they are doing by being able to create these eBooks together and
not with me just giving them a worksheet to do. I am looking forward to being able to teach
my future students how to utilize technology and how it is more fun than what they
previously know about PowerPoint and how it is just used for presentations. I want to ignite
some excitement about using this technology tool and for them to get creative with it and be
able to have freedom with their eBooks.
