Remembering Understanding Applying Analyzing Evaluating X Creating

How do you plan to implement this lesson and integrate the technology? Check all that apply:

Teacher-led: There is no student voice and choice in the activities. Students are guided by the
teacher's direction and expectations. Learning activities are assigned to the student and mostly
practice based.

X Student-Led: Students are given voice and choice in the activities. They may select the topic of
learning and/or determine the tool they will use to meet the learning goal. The teacher facilitates
the learning as the students direct their own learning processes.

Problem-based and/or Publishable: Students are solving problems and completing projects to
demonstrate their learning. Additionally, the projects can be shared outside of the classroom.
(Note: This objective could be reached by displaying the project on the school’s morning
newscast, posting the project to the classroom blog, presenting it to another class, or publishing
it via an outside source.)

Lesson idea implementation:

I will first introduce My Simple Show by pulling it up and demonstrating how to use this tool by
creating an example video. I will make students aware of their learning goals by going over what is
expected of them before starting this assignment. The students will then utilize the technology by
creating a video as demonstrated previously about a book read in class of the students choosing.
The teacher will walk around the classroom to provide help to anyone that needs it. I will conclude
the lesson by allowing each student to share their video in front of the class.

Managing student learning: The students will move from passive to active learners by reading the
book and then using their learned knowledge to create a video making them active learners. I will
set time limits for each part of the lesson such as creating a script as well as adding audio to the
video.

Universal Design for Learning (UDL) Reflection: Be sure to mention one specific UDL principle you
are focused on in this lesson – Multiple Means of Engagement, Multiple Means of Representation,
or Multiple Means of Action & Expression.
This activity will support the learning experience because it allows learning to be enriched through
hands-on activities and engagement.

Reflection: I feel like this activity would be a great way for students to have hands-on ways of

learning and sharing about a topic they enjoyed. I look forward to implementing My Simple Show in
the future.
