Planning paves the path to success!
I have always felt that lesson plans are very important in the
whole learning process. They help a teacher every step of the way and always
come handy. Preparing for a class becomes so easy once you have planned for it
in advance.
This week we were asked to make and share a Technology enhanced lesson
plan using Google Drive. The material provided by Courtney helped a lot.
I made a lesson plan for my Grade 9 students using a text from
their course book. Incorporating technology surely would make this lesson come
alive. I thought of using videos and the wonderful tool Vocaroo, which can be
used to make voice recordings. My students are not very computer savvy, so I
decided to use simple tools, things that they can easily understand with my
help. I focused on improving my students' speaking, listening, vocabulary and writing skills through this lesson plan
Something which I had never done in any of my lesson plans before
was making a Plan B. This is so important if one has to use technology in
class. We all know that, sometimes, in spite of all our prior planning, nothing
goes according to plan. Plan B is for such a rainy day. In all my future lesson
plans, I will surely incorporate it.
Next week I will implement my first technology enhanced lesson
plan. I am sure it will bring positive results.
