No amount of technology will

save a bad lesson plan!

Lesson Planning Apps

•My Lesson Plan (iOS)

•Common Core Lesson Planner (Android)

•Common Curriculum (Chrome & Web)

GANAG•G: Set the learning goal/objectives

•A: Access prior knowledge

•N: Acquire new information

•A: Apply thinking skills or real-world situation

•G: Generalize or summarize back to the goal/objective

Pollack (2007)

Goal Setting

•Figure out the basic things you want students to do

•From here you should be able plan the lesson assessments and materials.

Abshire (2013)

CCSS RH.6-8.8

•What do we want students to do?

•How do we want them to demonstrate this?

National Governors Association for Best Practices, Council of Chief State School Officers (2010)

Access prior knowledge

•Do the students know the technology tools you want them to use?

Acquire New Information•Teach the students how to use the

technology tool the way you want to use it

•Teach it yourself if you can

•Call for a Technology Coach or Specialist to help you.

•Give examples of what you want

•Provide rubrics

•Scaffold

Apply the Knowledge

•Allow the students to use the tools to complete the assignment

•All students do not have to apply the knowledge the same way

•Provide both content and technical feedback

CCSS RH.6-8.8

Generalize or Summarize

•Ask students how they created their project

•Especially if it was something unique

•Reflect on how 1:1 worked for you and reevaluate policies and practices

Classroom Management

• Managing a 1:1 classroom is different than managing a traditional classroom

• Learn not only how to use the technology but also how to not let it be a distraction

• Make sure you understand your school’s policies.
