Technology Integration plan
Technology is very important and the push to use technology is what students need in the world we live in today. My focus will be integrated social studies. Having a main focus on social concepts as well as American history I believe i will help shape young adults minds. By teaching history students can learn of past events and see the world in which we live in today.
My lesson plans will be lecture based but will give students a chance for discussion. Henceforth allowing the students to talk amongst each other engages them in creative thinking. My goals are to help every student learn something every class. As an educator I want to my students learning styles in corporate a lecture around all their learning styles. I plan to do this by using power points, Google forms, Google surveys, voice thread, Wordle, web 2.0 platforms. All of these programs engage in digital learning and allow students to prepare for a professional life. By showing student’s websites and teaching them credible ones to use I will be promoting equity that they need in the workforce.
Each day my students will have reading assignments 10 to 12 pages. Covering history lessons in American history my students will take notes on reading assignments and turn them in at the beginning of class. My class being set on lectures will allow students to listen as well as learning through visual programs. During class I will allow students to engage in discussion and freely ask question. At the end of class students have a chance of receiving points with a quiz that I will give. The quiz will either be a take home quiz or a pop ten minute quiz right before the end of the class.
The importance of my students paying attention is important and I believe this incentive will help the student listen. The lesson I plan to give will be over a two week period. Teaching on broad concepts and teaching my students how to think creatively will be a huge goal I plan to gain. Giving a test after two weeks the students will be tested on how well they can explain the concepts that they have learn throughout the two week period. Throughout the course of the year I plain on using the concepts learn so students well have to gain knowledge of them.
I will survey the students after every test giving them a chance of reflection on how they did as well as how they felt about the test. Evaluating the surveys will give me a chance to document my student’s inputs as well as a chance to learn their learning styles. It is very important as an educator that I document this process for future job interviews. Google spreadsheets as well as Google documents again will make this able for me to record.
My job as an educator will be to push technology. Telling my students to use the computer as well as using computer programs will be very important. My pedagogical goals will be achieve through these programs.
