My Smart Lesson Plan

When I consider how teachers use technology, I find that some are very proficient at it.

Their ability to use simple gadgets to assist in teaching is exceptional, such as whiteboards, interactive boards, LCD projectors, mobile phones, etc. But the number of teachers in this category is not very encouraging.

A second group of teachers is less familiar with web-based technology, advanced software and hardware technologies in education, but they are always eager to learn and enjoy upgrading themselves, and they are a larger number than the first. In addition to these two groups, there is another group of teachers who are uncomfortable with technology or do not even want to learn it. 

My dear friends with the rapid transformation in almost every sphere of life due to changing technology day by day it is now imperative for teachers, educators and all in the field of education to be aware of hardware and software technology, web-based technology or any other electronic technology that leads towards digital and analog technology that can create great changes in teaching-learning patterns, thereby changing the entire educational landscape.

 To maximize the impact of teaching and learning, educational pedagogy must be redefined and reframed. 

I was thinking about rich web-resources and I got the idea to plan lessons in a way that would achieve our learning objectives by using a SMART PLAN.

Well, I developed one and I've attached it to this post. It is very convenient for teachers to use, and it is also an effective way to teach techno-skills to those with no experience with technology. See how rich web resources can rejuvenate teaching in the classroom. In both practical and abstract aspects.

Technology Integrated Model Lesson Plan for Science

Integration of technology based activities in teaching about a Cell

TEACHING POINT	MATERIAL REQUIRED	TEACHER ACTIVITY	STUDENT ACTIVITY	COMPUTER SKILLS INVOLVED  AND PRACTICED
1. Cell as the basic building block	Computer or laptop, internet, LCD projector, projection screen, magnetic board, white board or digi-canvass etc.	Power point presentation on cell as a building block, ·         Comparison of a living cell and a brick in a wall. Teacher will explain and ask questions on how small bricks together builds a house Reflective question:-What are the building blocks of a cell like?	Answer questions during presentations Participate in quiz. Discuss in groups to answer the reflective questions.	Working on power point Making slides, using animations and other features Browsing internet and downloading required material
2. Size of cell Cell size and scale shape and form	As above	Animation. http://www.cellsalive.com/howbig.htm Use this animation to compare the cell size of organisms sitting on a small pinhead Video 1  This video will show How big are cells compared to other objects? Animation by Genetics Science Learning Center, University of Utah. Above animations and videos will help teacher to make students visualize how small is the cell. Teacher can develop a sense of appreciation in students about the work and importance of cells in our body Reflective question:- why are the cells generally of small size ?	Participates in presentation Ponders upon reflective question Browses web to find authentic information E-mail the information to fellow group members.	Hyperlinks to required web pages etc. Browsing web, search engine, animation etc.
3. Structure of cell. Prokaryotic Eukaryotic Comparing plant and animal cell Various cell organelles	As above	·      Video Prokaryptic cell Use of Procaryotic Cell Model. Cell comparision This video compares Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic cell. Plant & Animal Cell Teacher`can use this animation to compare and differentiate between plant and animal cells & to learn about various cell organelles Quiz  Teacher can use the following quiz to revise the understanding of student on the topic http://www.cellsalive.com/quiz1.htm QUIZIZZ Reflective question:- List down the things that go inside your body and think about various functions of the cell.	Participates in presentation  Participates in quiz Student will analyse critically the concept and will answer the question.	Graphical interaction with software / relevant webpage.
Recapitulation can be done by using NCERT BOOK on the plant and animal cell E-Book Culminating activity : Once the topic is over, real exercise for students will begin, students could be divided into small groups or pairs and could be assigned various activities, as a forum to display, summarize, extend, or share what they have learnt through assigned activity. Activity 1 : Analyze, How the discovery of cell has helped in disease control and prepare a PowerPoint presentation ? Activity 2 Participate in an online class on cell and share the content with the help of http://www.wiziq.com/classes/( class will be organized by a teacher) I organized an activity for my teacher trainees and for others and shared about Technology integrated Lesson planning with them.Watch it here http://www.wiziq.com/class/classlist.aspx?Type=pastclasses&Start=3  the title of the class is technology integrated lesson planning Please watch the video for further details about Smart Planning http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJi6K8-PS8g&feature=youtu.be				Emailing Attaching files / documents with email. Sharing documents etc. Working on PowerPoint Working on Windows-Paint or Corel Draw
