The Marina in Monaco:
Group Lesson Plan
The Monaco Marina was an amazing sight. I couldn’t believe the size of those yachts and the odd smaller boat would disappear in comparison. Similarly I included this artifact as it is one of my first attempts at designing an online lesson. This artifact is an example of project-based lesson for students. Although this is a great lesson and completely models Driver & Oldham’s (1986) 5 stages of constructivist teaching framework (Matthews, 1994), it is one of my first online constructivist lessons. Thus, I included this artifact to show my initial group project with Kathie as we would do another a year later and it would be completely different. This was the third course (for both of us) so we were MET beginners together and we were new to technology. So instead of presenting our lesson using a constructivist method, we stuck with the boring text document presentation of our assignment. A year later, we had the same task of designing a constructivist lesson (different topic, history instead of math this time) and we actually used technology to present the lesson to teachers and students, we used Prezi to produce and present our lesson As we are both nearing the end of our MET journey, we were able to use the culmination of our MET knowledge and our media and technology tool experience to put together our lesson using technology and integrating technology in the lesson for the students as well. To see this artifact, travel to Mexico! We used a variety of constructivist strategies in the lesson but the lesson completely models Driver & Oldham’s (1986) 5 stages of constructivist teaching framework (Matthews, 1994).
