The
purpose of this module is to provide you with practice presenting
a short lesson that is enhanced with technology. Your students will
be four or five members of your class. This lesson should:
- reflect
your ability to integrate at least 2 of the applications (environments)
that you have learned into a cohesive lesson.
- apply
current instructional principles, research, and appropriate assessment
practices to the use of computers and related technologies.
- evaluate,
select, and integrate computer-based instruction into the curriculum
for a specific chosen grade level.
The
products for this module will include the following:
|
|
|
Task
#1 Design the instruction.
|
|
Create
the instructional design :
It
is strongly suggested that you start with an existing lesson plan
or combination of lesson plans developed in your other classes
or located on the Internet. Develop the lesson with these assumptions:
- Your
students already know how to use the computer (you will not be
teaching students how to do something on the computer!)
- Establish
a focus for the lesson, developing activities and closing activities
- Analyze
the lesson that you have created and determine how you would evaluate
the students participating in the lesson. An evaluation instrument
(test, project, etc.) does not have to be created; however, you
must give a clear explanation of how you expect to evaluate the
students at the conclusion of your lesson.

|
Task
#2 Word Process the lesson plan.
|
|
Using
the template developed earlier in the semester, correctly word process
your instructional design. This will include:
- Use
the "indent marker" to hang all numbers or letters used for itemizing.
- Include
a footer with page numbers, centered.
- DO
NOT use tabs except for multiple-column lists or a "leader".
- Add
at least one graphic object (in-line graphics are not acceptable
for this assignment)
- Proof-read
(no grammatical or spelling errors)
- Single
space within categories with paragraphs hung using the indent
marker
- Instructional
materials section should be a bulleted list
- Save
the lesson plan as [yoursectionnumber][yourlastname]lp
into your [yoursectionnumber][your
lastname]mt folder.
Make
6 copies of the lesson plan. Bring the copies as well as all materials
to class on the day of the MicroTeach sessions.
|
|
Task
#3 Teach the lesson to four of your classmates.
|
|
A
successful MicroTeach session includes:
- Your
microteach should be no longer than ten minutes.
- All
group members are provided with a copy of your lesson plan (which
means you will make 6 copies) NOTE: A complete MicroTeach session
consists of teaching the lesson to the students, providing students
with all materials (files) needed to participate in the learning
environment you have created, and providing participants with
copies of your lesson plan at the time you teach. DO NOT wait
until class time to print out the lesson plans. They must be prepared
ahead of the MicroTeach session.
- Your
classmates and instructor will evaluate your performance using
this form.
|
| Task
#4 Complete the Self-Evaluation for Microteaching and turn
your materials into the dropbox: |
|
Word
process the Self-Evaluation for Microteaching
form after you actually teach your lesson. This is a reflection
on your teaching experience with your peers. Be sure to:
- Use
block paragraph form (no regular paragraph indents, all text blocked
to the left-hand margin)
- Hang
the paragraphs using the indent marker
- All
text single spaced, but use Format>Paragraph to set a double
space between paragraphs
- Use
spell check so there are no spelling, typo or grammatical errors
- Save
the self-evaluation as [yoursectionnumber][yourlastname]eval
into your [yoursectionnumber][your
lastname]mt folder.
|
| Task
#5 Complete the final reflection for the course. |
|
Write
a journal reflection that is at least a half page, single-spaced,
that answers
the question:
"What
are the technology-related events and/or experiences in your
teacher education program that you believe will most serve you
in your daily classroom instruction?"
Please
feel free to include examples from all of your experiences in all
of your courses.
Save
the file as [yoursectionnumber][your
lastname]finalj and place in your
[yoursectionnumber][your
lastname]mt folder.
|
|
Task
#6 Turn in the [yoursectionnumber][your
lastname]mt folder to the dropbox! The folder will have
these files:
- [yoursectionnumber][yourlastname]lp
- [yoursectionnumber][yourlastname]eval
- [yoursectionnumber][your
lastname]finalj
- Copies
of all files created for and used in your MicroTeach lesson
El
Fin!
