TASK: MODIFY AN EXISTING LESSON PLAN (OR CREATE A NEW ONE) TO ENHANCE THE LEARNING EXPERIENCE USING TECHNOLOGY THAT IS ALIGNED WITH YOUR SUBJECT AREA.
Enhancing Lessons Using Technology
Reflection: Students are already used to being around technology and playing online games, so using this tactic to engage students in the classroom is a great idea. Kahoot! provides another way to deliver a series of multiple-choice questions, it successfully engages students in participating through peer to peer or team challenges. Students become immediately engaged and focused and don’t realize that they are learning. I also decided to use Kahoot! because it is a free resource available to everyone and very easy to setup. Only a smartboard is required to present the questions, and the students can use a computer or their phones. If a student doesn’t have, they can use a computer or work with another student.
