Part 4:  Your Assignments


Assignment #1

Your assignment is to create a lesson plan, using technology, and showing differentiation.  Look at this website for an example of what I'm looking for:   

In the activity section, this teacher has provided three different activities based on readiness levels.  (What they know, what they don't know).  The rest is self-explanatory.  So here's the spec's:

1.  Please use the following format: 

    Subject(s)
    Grade Level
    Brief Description
    Objectives
    Materials Needed
    Lesson/Activity  - *Note:  This is where the differentiated activities should appear.
    Assessment
    
2.  Your lesson plan must integrate the use of technology.

3.  Attach any worksheets or samples of differentiated activities if appropriate.

4.  Neatly typewritten and assembled in a manner that is appropriate for a graduate student.
5.  Here's another website with some ideas about technology integration for your lesson plans.

6.  Check out this website "Technology and Instruction Interwoven" for ideas about how to include technology activities into your lesson.

Assignment #2

Journal Article.  This time, you get to pick the journal article to summarize.  Remember, it must be about differentiated instruction and technology!  Where to find one?  Look in your Kean library - go to Kean online and go to the academic search premier, or Wilson's databases.  If you don't know how to do this, you have three choices:

1. Read the instructions on the online library webpage; or
2. Call the library during regular business hours and have a librarian walk you through it; or
3.  Go to the library in person. 

 You can also find several online.

That's it!
