and accompanying Rubrics (1-11) designed in compliance with Georgia
Technology Standards for Educators
Lab
Requirements: (Field Tested During Five Week Lab Experience)
Design
and implement webquest technology-connected lesson plans.The
lesson plan requirements are based upon a logical scope and sequence of
skills to be developed throughout the webquest. Undergraduate students
will work in teams to create and implement webquest technology connected
lessons that require application of skills presented during classroom activities.
Web
quest Lesson Plans (see Rubrics 8 and 9)
The
webquest lesson plans for k-12 students will follow a template that includes
an Overview, an Introduction, Overall Task, Process, Resources, Evaluation
and Conclusions.Web based teacher
pages are also created to articulate content standards, teacher roles,
web based instructional delivery, related technology resources, and ongoing
as well as culminating authentic assessment including:
·Lesson
QCC Standards
·Lesson
Procedures
·Lesson
Materials
·Classroom
Management strategies
·One
whole group technology connected task
·Small
group cooperative learning technology connected tasks
·Performance
rubrics for both self assessment and teacher assessment
·One
or more samples of authentic student work (middle grades student)
Tri-Board
Project
Each
team will be responsible for developing a group tri-board. The tri-board
will be presented in class and digitally displayed in respective Electronic
Portfolios. Each display may include:
·Performance
Rubric Criteria
·Samples
of student work
·Samples
of teacher made instructional materials
Grading:
Grades
will be assigned based on the following point system.
A
= 700-750, B = 650-699, C = 600-649, D =550-599, F = < 550
