Technology Integration: Problem-Based Learning Plan
Begin by discussing what is meant by Problem-Based Learning (PBL) and what this approach looks like in classrooms. This section will be 3-5 paragraphs and will include a minimum of five scholarly articles in support.
Technology Integration
The ASSURE Model for Instructional Design
Begin this section with a paragraph or two describing the ASSURE model. Then, in the sections below, identify the instruction plan according to the model.
Analysis of Learners
Describe your learner and their characteristics such as learning styles, prior knowledge, skill level, and attitudes towards learning, physical traits, and other relevant characteristics. For instance, some learners are very hesitant in learning math skills but are excellent writers.
Analysis of Technology in the Local Setting
Describe the technology that is available to you in your local setting. If your resources are limited, you will want to leverage every tool possible to the highest extent in order to maximize learning potentials and discovery through learning. Include Internet access, tools, and software.
Standards and Objectives
Introduce this section with background on the curriculum standards, the ISTE standards, and other standards you will use to establish the foundations of the lesson. Then, below, identify the specific standards you will address for each type.
List 2 or three curriculum standards used for the lesson. The curriculum standards for this lesson include:
a)
b)
Select two or three ISTE standards for students. The ISTE standards for this lesson include:
a) Modeling the instruction strategy called structured controversy
b)
Determine the 2-3 associated specific and measurable learning objectives. The objectives for this lesson are:
1) Learners will understand and be able to state the characteristics of a given concept (example 1).
2) Learners will be able to articulate the advantages of using Venn diagrams to contrast and compare different representations of a concept (example 2).
3) Learners will construct a persuasive presentation with supporting evidence and publish it to a class wiki (example three).
Planning the Strategies, Technology, Media, and Materials
This section and the one following (Utilize Technology, Media and Materials) together represent the largest portion of the assignment. Begin by identifying the strategies and methods you will use for instruction and engagement. Then discuss the technology you will use in the lesson. Use the Technology Integration Matrix (TIM) to help you evaluate the integration of technology and make decisions about ways to integrate the technology you have available to you in vibrant ways that promote learner success.
Select one key focus from the five interdependent characteristics of meaningful learning environments: active, collaborative, constructive, authentic, and goal directed. Your goal in designing the lesson and use of technology is to move as far down on the meaningful engagement scale and as far right on the 5 levels of technology integration scale as possible. If possible, push deeper than active learning and push past the Entry and Adoption levels of integration to the Adaptation, Infusion, or Transformation levels. This is not easy to do, and the TIM provides examples in video form to help you. For instance, if you click on the Active Learning, Infusion Level you will find a number of videos that model this level of use with active learning taking place. If you click on Goal-Directed Learning, Adaptation Level you will find video demonstrations of what this looks like in practice.
Identify your chosen Engagement Level and Integration Level (replace example below with your selections).
Goal-Directed Learning, Adaptation Level
List the Extended Descriptors for your selection.
Students
Teacher
Setting
Next, identify the technology, media, and materials you will use. This can be done in list form. Add links where appropriate.
Technology
Media
Materials
Utilizing Technology, Media and Materials
In this section you will briefly describe HOW the technology, media, and materials will be used. This should read like a road map so that someone else could implement your plan with your learners. Include step by step instructions for implementing your plan.
Requiring Learner Participation
This is where you plan the learner actions. How will you plan for your learners to engage with the ideas and with the technology tools in order to meet the learning goals and objectives? The plan should include good questioning as part of the instruction. Questioning will function as a part of or your formative assessment.
Evaluating and Revising
This final section is where you will describe the methods you will use to assess the learning. Then describe how you will use the resulting data to revise the instruction plan for next time. If you are able to actually teach the lesson to your learners, do so, and then assess the learning plan itself and how well the lesson actually worked as compared to how you thought it would work. If this is not possible you will complete this section based on what you think will happen and how you think you might need to revise the lesson for the future.
