Chapter two

Chapter Two is about designing and planning technology-enhanced instruction. Its about becoming a teacher and beable to design and plan instruction enhanced and supported by technology. When planning there are a few questions to think about. What are my students like, do they have any special needs, what should my students be able to do when I am done with my lesson, what do you as the teacher need to do in the classroom to get everything done, and how will the teacher know if the instruction ws successful. When making a lesson plan you will want to use the instructional planning system. Which is made up with a plan like 1. design: design the instructional unit. 2. plan: Make specific lesson plans within the unit and 3. act: develop an instructional action plan that will help you through out the unit. When doing a lesson there are some things you want to know. You want to know your learners, state your objective, etablish the learning environment, identify teaching and learning strategies, identify and select technologies, and summative evaluation and revision plan. Being a teacher if you can accomplish all of those your lessons should be very useful! When making a lesson plan also use Bloom's Taxonomy and Action verbs, his step up to higher levels of thinking. They are knowledge, comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation. If you use these in your lesson plan your lesson plan will be sure one where the students will learn from!
