How will I demonstrate impact on student learning as a result of my differentiated lesson?
As I worked through this essential question I felt as if I was back in my first year of teaching and it was a good reminder to always go back to those roots of my practice... standards! Although as an educator I am always aware of the standards and build my curriculum to "meet" those standards I do not often go directly to those standards to directly align my lessons. Working through this process again (as I did as a new teacher in my first year of practice) I have been reminded of the importance of revisiting the things that we become so comfortable with over the years. One of my greatest challenges through this process was not creating a rubric (I use rubrics often) but directly aligning it to specific standards, in fact the first attempt of this was not very successful. In turn, I decided to take another wrote for the second part of my lesson, I decided to have the students get a better understanding of standards and our goals with our lessons by having them help me develop a rubric for their final product of this project. How this goes is to be determined! Below are the pre/post "assessment" which is a journal tool and the lesson that will follow.
Read the following standards:
NETS-T Standards
Design and Develop Digital Age Learning Experiences and Assessments
Teachers design, develop, and evaluate authentic learning experiences and assessment incorporating contemporary tools and resources to maximize content learning in context and to develop the knowledge, skills, and attitudes identified in the NETS·S.
a. Design or adapt relevant learning experiences that incorporate digital tools and resources to promote student learning and creativity.
Design and Develop Digital Age Learning Experiences and Assessments
Teachers design, develop, and evaluate authentic learning experiences and assessment incorporating contemporary tools and resources to maximize content learning in context and to develop the knowledge, skills, and attitudes identified in the NETS·S.
a. Design or adapt relevant learning experiences that incorporate digital tools and resources to promote student learning and creativity.
b. Develop technology-enriched learning environments that enable all students to pursue their individual curiosities and become active participants in setting their own educational goals, managing their own learning, and assessing their own progress.
Now answer the following questions:
1.
What are standards and what
are their purpose? (IDK is now an
appropriate answer please write in complete sentences).
2.
Now write in your own words
what it would look like for a teacher to create a lesson that met these
standards.
3. Describe how a lesson that met these standards would support your
learning.
Post-Secondary Technology Lesson
In this lesson I will have student take a pre-assessment by
looking over the standards that I would like us to accomplish and have the
students work with me to create an appropriate rubric that will be used by
them, a peer and myself to assess their final product. The standards that will be used are
below:
Design and Develop Digital Age

Teachers design, develop, and evaluate authentic learning experiences and assessment incorporating contemporary tools and resources to maximize content learning in context and to develop the knowledge, skills, and attitudes identified in the NETS·S.

After creating the rubric the students will then be given
time to use the research that they have conducted on post-secondary research to
create a final product using technology to share information about their top
choice from their post-secondary research. Students will be given the following options but will not be
limited to these options if they have another route they would like to take.
Product Options:
PowerPoint
Pod-cast
Movie
Slide-show
Web-page
Other…
Students will have class time to create the final product
and then share it with their peers where they will be assessed using the
rubric.
Then they will be given the post assessment.
Here is a sample research Pearltree that the students have already created:
