Technology Integration Lesson

Technology-Integration Lesson The subject that I would be interested in doing for my technology-integration lesson is reading over the topic of sequence. My current position is as a 3rd grade teacher so that would be the grade level I would do. Plus, this is a concept that we did cover and I see now all that could have been done with this topic by incorporating technology. The learning goals that I currently have in mind are: Students will be able to identify signal/transition words that are associated with story sequence. Students will sequentially order a story based on pictures by using the clues. Students will create a story timeline in which they put a story with pictures and words in order. Students will justify why a story is put in a particular order. Students will become familiar with Power Point design and common tools associated with it’s use. The technology that I am interested in using is: Internet access-to allow for the various websites that will be used Online videos-to present BrainPop Jr as an engagement Interactive White Board-to present interactive mini lessons on sequencing using the flip charts to have students come put stories in order. I-Pod touch-to post google docs on class Edmodo (all of my students have an Edmodo account and they really like this) for tests, surveys, etc Power point-to create story timeline for final class product One of the ideas that I have is to have a Power Point presentation that has a story where the pictures are all out of order. This will be a class template. I will have different stories of various complexities for differentiated instruction. Approaching students will have a 4 picture story, students at grade level will have a 5-6 picture story, and the above grade level students will have a 8-10 picture story. Before the actual lesson, teacher will be using Power Point to model how presentations are created and common creation tools for the program. Teacher will model a couple of stories that have already been read in class. Using what has been taught in the days prior, students will reorganize the pictures. They will then add text to the pictures and will be required to use signal/transition words in their product. Students will organize the story by plot. Their presentation should include exposition, rising action, falling action and solution. They will also have to have a rationale at the end of the presentation explaining why they organized the pictures in that way. I really have never taught sequence this way, but it allows me to incorporate technology and more higher order thinking for my students. Student learning will be assessed by their final Power Point document. Each student will present their presentation to the class and also be able to defend their rationale for the story sequence. They will also have various quizzes and discussions that I will post online to their Edmodo accounts that will be created through GoogleDocs.
