Unit 3: Applying Standards-Based Instruction

The most effective way to understand standards is to apply them in your teaching. The NOW Classrooms series emphasizes the goals of teaching and learning before the technology or device. Each chapter includes lessons on three levels of expertise: novice, operational, and wow. These three words create the NOW of the series title. As stated in the introduction, students are encouraged to "...reach both academic and technology learning goals..." as well as have "...voice and choice..." in the lessons presented.

In this unit you will select a lesson from the NOW Classrooms text, plan and edit the lesson as needed to fit your learners, teach the lesson to at least one learner, and self-evaluate the success of the lesson in a short essay. Learners in this context could be students, staff, or parents.
