Lesson Development and Peer Reveiw
To fulfill the expectations for this module, participants, working in small
groups or independently, will develop, teach, and present a lesson or unit that
integrates technology.
Make sure that participants understand that their lessons, instructional units,
or activities will be evaluated using the
Technology Integrated Lesson Review Rubric. Encourage participants to
use the rubric in the development of their lessons.
In developing their lessons, participants should be sure to...
- identify appropriate state/district curriculum standards.
- develop content goals and objectives based on student needs, curriculum
standards, or achievement data.
- identify the technologies that will enhance the lesson.
- select the appropriate technology standards.
- develop and/or select appropriate activities, tasks and resources to build
student learning, taking into account students' technology knowledge and
skills.
- incorporate effective teaching strategies and delivery methods needed to build
student learning.
- develop pre- and post-assessments to determine student learning.
Effective technology-integrated lessons will thoughtfully combine curriculum
requirements, appropriate technologies, and sound pedagogical practices. To
frame the lesson development activity, facilitators should lead a discussion
using the following questions as guide:
- What content do you want students to learn? Will you modify an existing lesson
or construct an entirely new one? Which academic content standards will be the
focus of your lesson? How will you use assessment data to make instructional
decisions?
- What technologies will work best to teach the content focus? How do these
technologies add value? What technologies are readily available? Which
technologies do you have the skills to use well?
- What instructional approaches will enhance the learning of academic content and
technologies? What approaches will work best for your students?
Presentation/Assessment/Reflection
Provide sufficient time for each participant or team of participants to present
their lesson. Facilitators should refer to the Constructive Friend Feedback
Form to set parameters for the peer review.

- Develop and teach a lesson that effectively integrates technology.
- Present the lesson to their peers, providing evidence of student achievement
data and samples of related artifacts where appropriate.
