Lesson Idea

Lesson idea implementation: To begin this lesson I will show them my ebook as an ex-
ample to get them understanding the baseline of the lesson. I will make my students
aware of the goal by providing them with thorough instructions on what I would like
to see them do using this technology tool. The students will utilize this technology by
learning how to use it while completing the learning of a standard. As the educator I
will provide the instructions and my example and any help needed during the process
of learning with this technology. I will be able to give feedback to students as they are
working on this to make sure they are on the right track and they will be able to show
the class their stories. To conclude the lesson I will make sure every student knows
what their story is about and what it fully means.

Managing engagement: Describe a way to use this technology in a way that gets students
actively involved in authentic tasks and contexts?
For this activity I will make sure they are aware that they will be co-using a computer with a
partner, therefore their story will have to be collaborated on. This will allow creativity to-
gether to encourage co-engagement while learning on the topic to gain full knowledge. I will
make sure they know how much time they have to complete their story. If noticed being off
task within the collaboration aspect I will make sure they know that they need to finish the
story and if they need new partners that will be arranged.

Universal Design for Learning (UDL):

Using Microsoft powerpoint is a great tool to support all students since it can be accessed at
home or at school. Using this tool supports the engagement within this lesson since it gives
the students a chance to be creative when coming up with their own story on the different
parts of the flower.

Reflecting on enhanced learning:

I am looking forward to implementing creativity with using these online tools while they are
still learning the standards content. I feel as if this lesson will impact the students into seeing
that learning can be fun and you do have choices as a student.
