TITLE
I.
Why is this project important (describe the need)? We have bought a $31,000 dollars digital lab and it is
a great tool we can use more frequently and effectively with our 689 students in our World Language
department. Long term it is not going to be only with the World Language Department but with other
departments. Students will be able to develop technological skills and language skills such as speaking
and writing, thanks to the use of the digital Language Lab. The important thing is that we are going to
continue using this lab for a long period of time.

II.
What would you like to accomplish (describe the unit or lesson and list instructional objectives)?
According to the Georgia Department of Education, we should be assessing our students
using technological devices. On the other side the students need to use technology in order to
acquire authentic information and contact native speakers. The lesson will be based using the
digital language lab we have in room 723. Please see below the daily lesson plan sample

III.
How will you complete the work?

A. Describe how the instructional objectives will be met.
Our goal #1 is that in all subject areas, no more than 20% of questions on major assessments will be
below Depth of Knowledge (DOK) level 2. For this goal our lesson will develop level 3 and 4 level
DOK questions. Students will create and will use higher level thinking skills.
Our goal #2 is that all subject areas will have multiple writing opportunities in ongoing classroom
assessments or at least one major writing assignment per quarter. In this case our lesson will perfectly
incorporate and support this goal. We will also include technology in order to complete the written
portion of this assignment.
