Creating_Effective_1to1_Lessons

=Creating Effective 1:1 Lessons= In this session you will be transforming a science lesson of your choice into a lesson that is a technology-rich lesson appropriate for a 1:1 classroom. You may want to choose a lesson that is typically taught early in the second semester of school. You can model your lesson on the Immersion Lesson (Blood Typing) using any of the tools or resources that you have worked with during the workshop. Feel free to also innovate beyond these resources. The guidelines for your lesson are outlined below and your technology facilitator will help you develop your lesson.

Lessons must include the following:

 * Use of a Web 2.0 platform such as Wikispaces or Google Docs.
 * A technology-based assessment.
 * Unique technology-based activities (online activites or software).
 * A hands-on, inquiry based component.
 * Opportunities for student collaboration to complete the lesson's activities
 * An opportunity for group sharing and/or group discussion following activities
 * This lesson must be able to be completed in 90 minutes.

You may use the LESSON SKETCHES to help you create your lesson. Keep in mind that the top part of the template only provides the basics of the instructional lesson. The true lesson development begins as you create the material that students will actually use. Think back to the different activities you engaged in within the Immersion lesson and consider the questions below as you delve into the development. The examples refer back to different sections of the Immersion lesson that illustrate key aspects of good 1:1 instructional design.

//1. What's is your starter activity or your hook? How will you capture students' attention? (see example)// A few possibilities include:
 * video
 * comic
 * image

//2. What opportunities will students have to collaborate to complete the lesson's activities? (see example)// A few possibilities include:
 * collaborative Google doc for lab report or experiment
 * Google site or a wiki

//3. What opportunities will there be for group sharing and/or group discussion following the activities? (see example)//

//4. How will you build in formative assessment opportunities? (see example)//

//5. What type of hands-on activity will be incorporated into the lesson? (see example)// A few possibilities include:
 * traditional lab
 * use of an applet

//6. What will the "exit ticket" be for students? (see example)// A few possibilities:
 * a blog entry
 * a podcast
 * a video
 * a voicethread
 * comment to a blog
