Tech Integration Course Guidelines

In this online course, you will use the Wicomico County Definition of Technology Integration as well as what you know about the different software available in the county, to create, teach and reflect upon three lesson plans integrating technology.

You may use the software that you learned when you took last year’s online course or software that you explore on your own with the tutorials provided this year. Each lesson must highlight a different type of software or application, although each lesson may use more than one type. For  example, you may have a lesson where students complete an Internet worksheet using Word and the Internet, and then display learned information in a PowerPoint slide or presentation. Each lesson should use a different type of software. In other words, you may not turn in three PowerPoint presentations you used as lecture tools, for three different lessons.

Three Lesson Plans must be as follows:

1. Teacher directed lesson: ( maximum 1)
   1. In a teacher directed lesson, the teacher uses technology to present information or material to the class.  Some examples might be a PowerPoint presentation, creating a web using Inspiration/Kidspiration, an Internet based activity, using YPP as a tutorial, or incorporating a UnitedStreaming video.
   2. A student product is not required.
2. Student Centered Lessons: (minimum of 2)
   1. In a student centered lesson, the student must create a product.  The product might be computer generated or paper/pencil resulting from their use of technology.  It may be individual, small group, or whole group. 
   2. You may not use SRI or YPP for your lessons.

You must:

• Use the provided lesson plan template.
• Create the learning objects described in your lesson: PowerPoint Presentations, Kidspiration/Inspiration templates, WebQuests, etc.
• Provide a sample of student created activities if applicable
• Reflect on each lesson after it is taught.

In your dropbox, your TRT will be looking for:

• Completed Lesson Plan Template
• Learning Objects used or samples of student work
• Lesson Reflections
