Looking into the ways of writing a technology enhanced lesson plan, I got a better picture of what a teacher should think of: standards requirements, performance indicators, learning objectives, the use of appropriate technology, etc. I found it engaging, but very time consuming in the beginning. They should become easier to formulate when given more time to practice.
Technology itself is very motivating: students cannot part with their mobile devices, and sometimes are more skilled at using technology than their teachers. However, we see more opportunities to turn the students’ use of technology into an educationally useful stream course.
This week project tasks reinforced my understanding of my class needs and my wants in relation to technology use. I went through a few postings of other participants and saw a great number of ways to use technology and integrate it into traditional teaching. I liked the idea of using authentic websites as resources for motivating classes. The tasks my peers provide with their lesson plans give a wide spectrum of ideas for implementing web resources into my curriculum.
