Levels of Technology Integration:
☐ Infusion Level: Students may work at a higher Bloom’s Level, but they do not have any “Voice or Choice”
during the activity and most of the decisions are made by the teacher.
X Integration Level: We would like to see ALL lessons/activities reach this level. The project is student-driven.
Students have “Voice and Choice” in the activities, selecting the topic of study and determining the
technology tool to demonstrate mastery of the standard. The teacher becomes more of a facilitator.
☐ Expansion Level: The projects created are shared outside of the classroom, publishing student work and
promoting authorship. This could be reached by showcasing the project on the school’s morning newscast,
posting the project to the classroom blog, or publishing via an outside source.
Universal Design for Learning (UDL): I planned an activity where the students will get into groups online or in
person and have clues, which are math problems, that lead to fun little surprises and incentives to finish this
scavenger hunt. The technology tool I selected was an app that can also be used on a desktop online. You could
also create these scavenger hunts by hand as well if technology is not available to all students. All the UDL
principles are represented in this activity. The Engagement Principle is represented by giving the students a
choice/voice in the scavenger hunt. The Representation Principle is represented by the background knowledge
clues implemented within the scavenger hunt for extra help with the problems if necessary. The
Action&Expression Principle is represented by them being present in the scavenger hunt and being able to make
their own decisions.
Lesson idea implementation: The students will be doing the scavenger hunt in groups while the teacher will be
walking around and checking in with the groups. If the students have questions, they can ask the teacher and
she can provide help. The project will be introduced by the teacher assigning groups for the students to get in
and then providing clues for each group. The scavenger hunt should take up quite a bit of class time because it is
assessing how much they are understanding of the material you have taught them so far. The scavenger hunt
should be around 30-45 minutes.
The students’ learning will be assessed with what answers the groups provide on the clues. They also have to
provide the work for how they got the answers to the clues. This scavenger hunt will be used to differentiate
normal question and answer problems on paper. Using this technology separates things easier and does not just
present things all at once, so the students don’t get overwhelmed with the problems. I will add a few problems
we may not have discussed as much in class to see if they can get to a higher learning level by thinking out the
problem with the help of their fellow students. I will conclude the lesson by going over the answers to the clues
and reviewing their answers and asking the thought process of how they came up with their answers. Even
joining the scavenger hunt got the students a 100. This is more of an assessment to see what they know or don’t
know. I will provide feedback while going over their clue's answers with each group individually.
Reflective Practice: The lesson plan I created gives a positive spin on student learning. It implements something
more fun with the clues being involved. I designed this idea with assessing what the students know in mind.
Having a small participatory quiz after this scavenger hunt to further the lesson is something, I will do to see
what each student knows individually. Other technology tools like Khan Academy could further enhance this
project by having the participatory quizzes on that website along with suggested help problems as well to
further their understanding of the material.
