 * TE 831 RE-PURPOSING TECHNOLOGY LESSON PLAN ASSIGNMENT **


 * This assignment is due Sunday, June 16. **

Most technologies are not designed for educational purposes. What this means is that technologies have to be creatively re-purposed in order to make them fulfill their educational potential. This is as true of Microsoft PowerPoint as it is of the iPhone or iPad. In your Tech Tools posts, you have the opportunity to explore specific tech tools, seeing which one(s) work and for what purpose(s). This assignment is, in some senses, an extension of these Tech Tools posts but it's also an opportunity to connect it directly to the K-12 classroom. //In this assignment you will identify an Internet technology or digital hardware (e.g., cell phone, Flip camera, clicker set, etc.) which you have __limited use and experience with.__ However, this time you intentionally integrate the technology into a lesson and reflect on the affordances/constraints of using the technology, as well as how this lesson contributed to your knowledge and understanding of TPACK or SCOT (see Week 1 or the resources page).// In addition to working with your go-to-groups, in order to get feedback and ideas, the final versions of these lesson plans will be posted to the wiki so that every person has access to this collection of resources.

**Purpose:** This assignment has two parts. One part is the creation and implementation of a lesson plan (using the template provided). The second part is to write a reflection essay about the lesson plan, commenting on what you learned, how it went, what you'd change next time, etc.
 * The purpose of the first part is for you to craft a lesson using a piece of technology with which you have limited use and experience with in teaching. The technology you choose is up to you, and the best-case scenario is for you to actually teach the lesson. However, given the timing (i.e., middle of June) this may not be possible. There are two ways to approach this: to create a lesson plan for what your kids are actually working on right now, or to go back to an old lesson plan you've taught this year and reinvent it using the piece of technology you've chosen to work with.
 * The purpose of the second part is to reflect on the affordances/constraints of using the technology, your students' reactions to the lesson, as well as how this lesson contributed to your own development related to TPACK, SCOT, and/or TIK.


 * Directions: **
 * Identify a piece of technology with which you have limited use or experience with in teaching - this can be an Internet technology such as a wiki, blog, pod/vodcast, [|Google Lit Trip], [|dipity] (interactive timeline), [|bubbl] (online concept map maker), etc., etc. - you get the picture. Or, it can be hardware such as a digital camera, cell phone, scanner, iPod, iPad, Smart Board, etc. For more ideas about free Internet technologies you can use for this project see the Tech Tools #1 or Tech Tools #2 pages.


 * **Select a lesson** you would normally teach but this time integrate the chosen technology into that lesson. If you are able to actually teach the lesson, then do so! if you are not given that it's the middle of June, or if you are not currently teaching at all, then __** create a short video (4-5 minutes), Prezi, or PowerPoint **__ __**presentation to demonstrate your lesson plan and highlight its content. This presentation is in lieu of actually teaching it to students.**__


 * **Write up** the lesson plan using the lesson plan template (provided below). You must also include the [|NETS standards] in your lesson plan. See sample and two former student examples below. If you design any kind of worksheet(s) and/or additional resources to go along with your lesson plan, be sure to include these resources as links or in an Appendix(ces) to your lesson plan. As you know, lesson plans are so much easier for colleagues to follow, understand, and [possibly] implement when supporting materials are included.


 * **Reflect** on the lesson plan and implementation of your lesson by responding to the following questions -  in red  - in a reflection paper (reflection portion: 1,000 - 1,200 words):
 * What technology did you choose for this lesson and why did you choose it?
 * <span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 10pt;">What was the role of TPACK, SCOT, and/or TIK in helping you shape/create/implement your lesson?
 * <span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 10pt;">What was the response of your learners to this lesson? What were the affordances? What were the constraints? (If you are not currently teaching, predict the kind of responses learners might have to your lesson, as well as the potential affordances and constraints).
 * <span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 10pt;">What other ways might this technology be re-purposed (in addition to your own classroom/content, this can be related to other topics or subject matters)?
 * <span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 10pt;">How did this lesson aid your professional development and teaching practice(s)?

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 10pt;">**Please note:** **The lesson plan and reflection should __be formatted as__** __ **<span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 10pt;">ONE ** __<span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 10pt;"> **__Word document.__**
