Technology Integration Plan in Art Education By: Brittany Hauser

Identify Content Essential Learnings: What do I want students to know and be able to do? A. Review Learning B. Define specific learning goals for the unit. What will students know and be able to do at the end of a unit? C. Define where technology can be incorporated effectively; Where can technology add to the building of student knowledge or engagement?

Construct the Assessment: What is the evidence of learning? A. What types of assessments? – How will I measure student learning at the end of each activity (formative assessment)? – How can students self-assess during the learning process to stay on track and develop a quality product? – How will I measure student learning at the end of the unit (summative assessment)? B. What learning do I assess? – Consider assessment of one or more of the following: – Content learning Skills and processes, Application of technology skills, Final product, Evidence of learning can also be informal. This could consist of teacher observation or notes.

Design the Activity A. What activities will engage students and form knowledge? – Think of activities that: Require students to answer a How?, Which?, or Why? question allowing students to create new knowledge or information – Pertain to the real world, ideally students' personal interests – Allow for student creativity and choice – Present a high but acceptable level of challenge B. What strategies and technolog(ies) would best enable students to complete the task/activity? – Using a guide to structuring activities for learning and look at how to structure those activities. – How will I scaffold student learning and the tasks required? – Which pieces make sense to have as technology scaffolds; which pieces don't?

Design the Process What steps, related to the content and the technology skills, will the teacher and students go through to reach the intended outcomes? – (Taking on the process in smaller chunks will help students succeed!) A. Identification of instructional resources and materials Related to the use if instructional technology, teacher preparation might include: – identifying appropriate electronic resources or websites, then organizing them for students using bookmarks or hyperlinks within an instructional document – developing graphic organizers for student use (ex. for student note taking while conducting online research; for development of storyboard plans for a multimedia or digital video presentation) – creating templates (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Publisher) to guide student work B. Selection of instructional strategies for content and technology goals – i.e. direct instruction, guided practice, modeling, providing examples, cooperative learningFor more ideas on instructional strategies. C. Identification of matching student activities D. Identification of a calendar of student activities. This will help you determine which days you will need equipment or personnel support and give you a general guideline of how long the unit will be. E. Determination of how, and to whom, students will publish, present or share their learning.

Plan for Classroom Management Related to the Use of Technology How will the available technology to student ratio be managed?

Go! Give your lesson plan one final look Try going over your unit as if you as a student. Evaluate it through their eyes. This is a never ending process of revision and trial and error. You should always be reconsidering and revising your lesson plans.
