  • Select a color scheme
  • Enter text
  • Create a hyperlink
  • Insert graphic
  • Preview page

Materials include diskette with folder structure and graphics, instructional handouts.

Learner will practice the demonstration steps with the instructor.
Active Learning

Provide printable online instructional handouts for folder creation and saving clip-art from the Internet. Provide email and face to face support.

Use the instructional handouts to create a folder structure to contain the research web page.

Save appropriate clip-art from the Internet.

Use Netscape Composer to create a web page that will be used to guide student research.

Personal Goals:
(I will be able to)
Faciliate the use of integrated technologies in the foundation curricular area of 2nd grade.
Discussion

Display a sample web page that may be used to guide student research.

Maintain a dialogue with the 2nd grade teacher to determine main units of instruction which may be suitable for integration of Internet research.

Use mentoring/coaching skills to facilitate the development of appropriate research questions.

Guiding questions:
What are your instructional objectives for the lesson?

How will you determine if students have mastered the objectives?

Use mentoring/coaching skills to facilitate development of guidelines for student collaboration and classroom management.

Guiding questions:
What are the benefits of student collaboration?

What will it look like when students are engage in active learning?

Brainstorm about the benefits of using such a web page.

Outline major units of study and discuss which unit would be suitable for integration of Internet research.

Reflect on the unit development and student goals.

Providing Feedback Facilitate development of web page by maintaing supportive dialog and constructive feedback.

 

Develop instruction that faciliates adult learning. Observation

Observe the 2nd grade teacher from a distance as she interacts with her students in the computer lab.

Analyze the complexity of the technical support requests initiated by the teacher.

 

Questioning
Inquiry

Probing Questions:
How do you use technology on a daily basis?

How do your students use technology on a daily basis?

What additional applications are you interested in learning?

Learner participates by reflecting on questions.

Problem Solving
Independent Production

Develop instructional handouts consistent with learner competencies.

Develop an instrument to assess teacher production.

 

 

Use coaching/mentoring skills to facilitate educator use of technology.

Facilitative Questioning
Humor

Questions:
In a perfect world, how do you see technology being used in the classroom?

How would your students react in that scenario?

How would you feel about your students reaction?

 

Learner participates by reflecting on questions.
Aspect 2: The social system

Describe the interpersonal structure of the instructional experience.

The first component of the lesson will be one-on-one. It is imperative that the learner be comfortable both with the technology and with me as a mentor as the practice web page is created. The second portion of the lesson will be completed independently.
Aspect 3: The role of the instructor

Describe your general instructional role. For example, will you present material, guide students as they research their own issues, etc?

During the first portion of the lesson my role will be to present material including a sample web page and demonstrating the creation of a web page. Additionally, I will use questioning techniques to guide the learner in the creation of an Internet based research unit.
Aspect 4: The support system

Describe the types and amount of instructional, technical, and other resource support required for the instruction (e.g., instructional materials, communication capabilities).

For support, I will need a working computer with Netscape Communicator, Internet access and a projection device in addition to step-by-step instructions for web page creation. Ongoing communication and support will be via email.
