Student Goal The student will conduct lab investigations using safe, environmentally appropriate, and ethical practices. Strategies Problem Solving Discussion Brainstorming Demonstration Direct Instruction Guided Practice Group Collaboration Group Project Reflection	Hardware: -Lab Computers -LCD projector -Speakers -Microphones -The network -Camcorder -Firewire cable -Dry Erase Markers -Eraser	-Lab schedule conflict - Network downtime - Electricity brown or blackout - Inoperative computers -Burnt lamp -Electricity brown or blackout -Microphones headsets &/or speakers are "misplaced" -Camcorder isn't charged -Camcorder is checked out to someone else -Fireware is missing from camcorder case	Match -Schedule the lab early -Schedule a backup day in case of electric or network downtime -Spot check computers before hand -Get a spare lamp -Locate & get microphone headsets & speakers in advance. -Reserve camcorder in advance & check for cable.
	Software: -StarOffice -MovieMaker -Windows Recorder -United Streaming	-Software isn't installed on all computers &/or isn't configured correctly. -United Streaming downtime	Match -Spot check computers before hand and test the software.
Teacher Goal The teacher will develop confidence in implementing technology by increasing their level of technology integration into their curriculum.

Mentor Goal I will use cognitive coaching to guide teacher in creating learner-centered lessons that maximize a positive impact on students. Strategies Independent Study Independent Practice Coaching Collaboration Reflection	eMail Copier Printer Phone	-Technical difficulties can arise with communication technologies	Match - If technical difficulties arise with one of these technologies, use a different one from my list.
Mentor Goal I will be able to guide the teacher in troubleshooting technology issues. Strategies Independent Study Independent Practice Coaching Reflection	All of the technologists listed above	-Technical difficulties can arise	Match -Prepare well ahead of time. -Give troubleshooting "how-to" documentation to my teacher.
Aspects 2, 3, 4
This lesson will be taught at the beginning of the school year. Students may or may not know everyone in the class so this will be a 'getting to know you' activity, too. Students will work in diverse, collaborative groups to create a technology integrated product. They will present their product to the class. A rubric will be completed for each student.	Please see tools and technologies listed above.
I will support the teacher as her mentor, technical assistant, facilitator, and team teacher. The teacher will be in charge of her class and in charge of her lesson. She will be the primary teacher. I will be her support system.	Please see tools and technologies listed above.
Coaching support: There will be one-on-one communications between the teacher and me. I'll create instructions (how-to handouts) for the teacher as needed.	Please see tools and technologies listed above.
