ELA+Lesson+Creation+&+Presentation

=Lesson Creation and Presentation =

Now that you have participated in the Institute, you have begun your journey in effectively teaching in a 1:1 environment. As your final assignment for the Institute, you are to begin creating a lesson on your own that integrates the tools and concepts you have learned over the past days. Consider a topic you will be teaching within the first month and create a technology-enhanced lesson that you could use for that topic. Use the guidelines below to help you in the process.

//You will be sharing a content specific "work in progress*" lesson on Friday, July 16th// with your colleagues attending the institute.
All lessons should be created using a Web 2.0 platform such as Wikispaces or Google Docs.

Lessons must include the following:

 * unique technology-based activities (online activities or software);
 * a technology-based assessment;
 * opportunities for student collaboration to complete the lesson's activities;
 * opportunities for group sharing and/or group discussion following activities.

You can use the following categories to help you create your lesson

 * Your Names
 * Subject
 * Title of Your Lesson/Project
 * Objectives and Goals
 * NC Standards
 * Description of the Lesson
 * Materials Needed
 * Outline of Lesson

Use the following guidelines to help you create your lesson. You must meet the expectations of each characteristic to receive credit for this workshop.

 * We do not expect your lesson created during your time at the Institute to be finished: they are a "work in progress". Do only what you can. During your post-Institute time we hope you will be able to complete your lesson and post in for your CEU Credits on August 20th.
