Foundations of Educational Technology
Artifact #1
The first artifact that I wanted to include was Digital Lesson where we had to create two different versions of the same lesson. One version was designed with on target learners and one version was designed for learners who were struggling and needed more reteaching/guidance. I used Google Slides as the platform for this lesson because I can give a copy to each student using Google Classroom. Then every student has their own notes and can change/add information to their own personal slides. I am trying to provide opportunities for my students to experience note taking in the digital era.
I choose to include this artifact because I felt as though this is one of the most valuable things that I can do as a teacher. Technology has provided teachers with easier ways to adapt lessons to better fit the needs of every student without making it public to the entire class. By providing students with level appropriate material, they will be more engaged with the lesson and more likely to be successful in the course. The best part is that students self assess themselves prior to picking the lesson and this brings in a level of ownership and responsibility to the learner.
The hardest part about creating these lessons is TIME as well as fairness. I had to decide what is the bare minimum that I wanted my students to know and make sure that those topics were addressed in the struggling learner targets. The hardest part was deciding how to increase the topics for students who were ready for a challenge but still be appropriate for them to solve. Some topics are easier to differentiate or enhance than others.
Check out these lessons that I put together!
