Lesson Title: Special Concerns in Online Learning Environments Grade: Higher Education

Rationale for contemporary technology integration: Through this lesson, we want our classmates
to learn about several issues related to technology use in classrooms through the lens of three
broader concepts: digital equity, digital literacy, and digital safety. We also want our classmates
to learn tips for addressing each of these issues, and educating their future students about them.
We chose to use Pear Deck as our assessment tool within google slides, which is our presentation
tool. By including assessment throughout our presentation, we hope to give our classmates an
opportunity to reflect as they are learning, and address any misconceptions immediately.

Learning Target/Student learning outcome (SLO): The students will be able to articulate common
issues with technology. The students will be able to analyze these common issues through the lens of
digital equity, digital literacy, and digital safety. The students will be able to use tools, and activites from
the chapter to educate students on these issues.

Academic Language: plagiarism,cyber bullying, digital citizenship, digital equality, digital literacy, and
digital safety.

Students’ Needs: Students need to have a basic understanding of technology use in the classroom.
Students also need to understand a few issues that go along with the use of technology; however, we will
go into more detail.
 English Language Learners (How can ELLs meet Special Needs (can be a group such as
instructional goals of the lesson while at the same time “struggling readers” or individuals)
develop English language competencies?)

The teacher could provide the ELLs with a list of any
unknown vocabulary words. This way the student can
practice the words, and have a deeper understanding of
them in the context of the lesson.
The teachers can provide the powerpoint to
any struggling readers prior to the lesson, so
that they can have extra time to preview the
material before the lecture. This way, the
student can familiarize himself/herself with
the material; and then during the actual
lecture, the student could focus on taking
strong notes and making connections.

Lesson Plan
Before: Begin the lesson by telling students what we are going to cover today. We will activate students prior
knowledge by asking to make a prediction about what the lesson will cover. Next we will tell the students to
take out their technology and go to PearDeck (joinpd.com). From here, we will move into the presentation.
During: We will go through the presentation with the students, white pausing for them to reflect and answer questions on
the material. At one point, we will have the students complete an activity in groups to give them an opportunity to enrich
their understanding of the content through collaboration.

After: After the content in the presentation is covered, we will review final point from the lesson. We will encourage the
students to ask questions about the content, so that we can identify any confusion immediately.
