I chose to update a lesson plan that I had for last semester and integrate technology into the plan. The lesson plan that I chose to update is a social studies lesson plan about teaching truth and honesty to first grade students. I chose to use Pinocchio as my base for teaching these concepts. The part of the lesson that I chose to transform into technology was the book. I think that if I were to make the actual book into something that the students can watch will allow for higher comprehension levels, especially for visual learners, since the students will be able to watch the story as well as listen to it at the same time. Although I have not used this type of technology integration in the classroom before, I really think that students will benefit from this.
The other piece of technology that I chose to use was the ELMO. This technology was already included in my lesson plan, before editing, because my CT uses the ELMO quite frequently. I think that this is a great tool because you can put just about anything up on the board, so that all students can see, whereas when you have an overhead, you have to make special sheets in order for them to work. As I learn more throughout this course, I hope to learn of more ways that I can improve this lesson plan and include more types of technology.
Here's a link to my website to check out my lesson plan:
