TECHNOLOGY INFUSED LESSONS

Evaluating one of my previous lessons

I will consider a physics lesson.

The topic was Moment of a force.

The technology tools where; computer, projector.

And students where meant to use slide share to view different presentations on moment of force. And then later they were to create their own notes in PowerPoint and present it to class. And they were to work in groups and collaborate even online, using google drive.

Now looking at the lessons of others online and using the evaluation tool, I feel my lesson somehow fulfilled some of the necessary strengths of a technology enriched lesson, but still it looked. Since learners where worked in groups, this helped them to develop their collaborative skills.

Learners also were to use the technology tools themselves meaning they had hands on activities, this helped them to be creative.

The lesson had activities which could cause the learners to think critically on their own.

However I feel I didn't consider students first evaluating the web information, and this could have led them not to filter the information well.

Also the SAMR levels where not fully integrated in the lesson.

So I Intend to improve on my lessons infused with technology, by consideration the necessary steps, in order to make use of technology. Actually this what digital literacy does for it looks at acquiring functional skills required to operate and communicate with technology and media.
