Infusing Technology into a Lesson

Name: Grace Shin Subject: English

Directions: Using the resources you explored in the Road Trip activity, find two (2) new technology tools that you would consider
using at each phase of the lesson. Choose two instructional strategies for each phase and select a new tech tool that would work
with that strategy. The strategies DO NOT have to be from the same lesson (you are not creating a lesson plan here). Briefly
describe each instructional strategy and then describe how you would utilize the new tech tool to carry out the strategy. Finally,
identify which TIM level best matches how you and/or your students use the tool. View the videos embedded in each level of the
TIM matrix to get ideas.

Lesson Introduction Using a video to grab the students’ YouTube Entry

The purpose of the introduction
is to draw students into the
lesson by tapping into their funds
of knowledge.
attentions and capture their interests
about what segregation, race, racism, and
how it was like back in the 1960’s. It would
be to tap into their prior knowledge about
what they know about segregation and ask
them what their views are.
I would use a collaborative method so
make sure the students are engaged and
have them do the research themselves. I
would ask a question like, “What is
segregation?” and they would have to
answer it through one picture or one word
and collaborate to find an answer and
present it to the classroom as a part of
discussion.
I would show a video that talks about how
racism before beginning a novel that talks
about segregation. I feel like it would draw
the students’ attention and they would
think about why the children are affected
and how they were affected by racism.
The Effects of Racism on Children: Doll Test
Google Slides Entry
I would show an image of how it was like
back in the 1960’s and how segregation
was like. Then using a group Google Slides
presentation, students can get in groups
and collaborate to find one picture that
shows segregation during that time period.
Then after about 7 minutes, I can go
through each picture on the slides and
discuss about it with the class as each
group briefly shares with the class what
image they have found.
Lesson Body
The purpose of the lesson body is
to introduce new information,
build concepts and engage
students in active learning.
Lesson Closure
The purpose of the lesson closure
is to have students summarize
what they have learned
Discussion and Debate
The students can have the opportunity to
voice their opinions and use evidence to
create a claim and argument.
Group Project
The students can collaborate with one
another to be creative and explore what
they wish to do.
The information can be given through the
Near Pod with lessons and questions about
the plot throughout it. The Quizizz can do
the same function and have questions to
review and do not count it as a grade.
Since there may be new and unfamiliar
vocabulary that is in the text. We can
Comment Bubble Constructive
After the students watch a video about
segregation and the Jim Crow Laws, the
students can use the Comment Bubble to
write their responses and questions and we
can have a classroom discussion about it.
Create a Poster Collaborative
By creating a “Character Poster”, the
students will be able to work together then
they can even advertise it on a classroom
Weebly website and have the students
comment and write reviews for each other.
Each group will work on analyzing one
character and talk about them as if they are
a celebrity.
Near Pod Constructive
Quizizz
The Near Pod or Quizizz will be used to help
students follow along with what is going on
in the story in terms of characters, plot and
the theme (novel: Watsons Go To
Birmingham). I could also use it to assign
homework, through the Quizizz questions.
Kahoot! Constructive
Quizlet
 pinpoint certain words and after learning
them together, the class can use Kahoot!
to test their knowledge and become more
familiar with the words. In addition,
Quizlet will be there if they want to make
more practice of it through flashcards.
Assessment Assessment for learning: the checkpoint
The purpose of assessment is to Formative assessment
monitor student learning
throughout the lesson
Assessment of learning: the end point
Summative assessment
The Kahoot! can help students with
vocabulary or words that they are not
familiar with in the text. The students can
use context clues and try to answer it
quickly through the game. It could be a
warm-up or a review before an exam.
Socrative Constructive
This can be used to create the questions for
each chapter that we read. It will have
questions about the plot and characters.
That way the students are understanding
what is going on in the story, and they will
get to test their critical thinking skills about
the theme and lesson that the author is
trying to tell us.
Timeline Authentic
By creating a timeline, they will show what Goal-Directed
they have learned throughout the course of
the entire textbook. They have to pinpoint
what the important parts of the story are
and be able to sequence it in the correct
order with the appropriate amount of
information. In addition, they have the
freedom to make it online through
different digital tools.
