Developing Teachers to Improve Lesson Plans Using Technology

Professional development that guides teachers in designing or adapting learning experiences to incorporate digital tools and resources has become a regular part of schools’ professional development programs. This assignment gives you the opportunity to plan, deliver, and gather feedback on a presentation related to using technology to enhance instruction.

Using any video recording device and online video program of your choice, design and create a 5-7 minute professional development video promoting effective and appropriate technologies to support teaching and learning in the school environment. Select a lesson plan of your choice to model incorporating technology into the classroom. Have your principal mentor, another site administrator, colleague, or classmate review the recording. Collaborate regarding best practices on concepts intended to help promote student success.

The video should include, but not be limited to, the following:

• At least 2-3 student learning objectives.
• Description of lesson activities.
• Description of lesson assessments.
• Minimum of 2-3 evidence-based articles that support incorporating technology into your lesson. Include citations.
• Evaluation of how incorporating technology in the classroom supports the school’s vision and mission.

Support the content of your video with at least 2-3 scholarly resources (not including those in the presentation).

Along with your video, create a digital evaluation using a technological tool to administer at the end of the video. The evaluation should provide feedback on the effectiveness of your video.

Remember, video and audio quality are important and should be taken into consideration. Ensure your video is recorded with sufficient lighting, and the volume is adequate for viewers to hear. Intonation, expression, proper speech, and professional attire are expected.

Use an online video platform such as Loom, YouTube, or Vimeo to upload your completed video. Ensure that others can access and view your linked video prior to submition. If you upload your video to YouTube, select the “unlisted” option.

Submit the video link in a Word document.
