Designing Lessons for Gr 3-12
Digital Lesson Design - NTI sessions
Lesson Format and Considerations
Intermediate Lesson Samples
Kim Schnier created this week's worth of science lessons using Google Slides.
She included YouTube videos, PebbleGo Next articles, and information from the text for students to read.
As formative assessment, students complete graphic organizers. They then have the choice between four different projects to synthesize their understanding: Minecraft, Cospaces, a PicCollage or they can build their own model out of household materials.
Each student will receive their own copy of this lesson through Google Assignments in Schoology. They will submit a video or images of their final project to a second Schoology assignment. Kim will have the chance to check in on learning throughout, and students will be able to choose their own pace, either the recommended daily work, or they might choose to move through things quicker.
Katie Huber is using this choice book literature study guide.
The guide combines tables to help keep students on track, section formative assessments that include skill based graphic organizers and quick choice assignments.
It is assigned using the Schoology and Microsoft OneDrive integration. Each student gets their own copy and the teacher can check in on the work.
Students get choice in the book and how to break up the reading, but still practice all the important skills they need.
High School Lesson Samples
For these two weekly lessons, Colleen Epperson used the Engage, Explore, Explain, Create, Connect and Share model. Students engage in watching videos she created, videos from YouTube and CK12, and lessons from Nearpod. There are also specific directions for checking in with her throughout the lesson using Teams.
These lessons will be assigned through Schoology, Google Assignments, so Colleen will have access to view progress, and students can either work through the material in the suggested way, or they might pace out things quicker if needed.
