☐ Teacher-directed: There is no student voice and choice in the activities. Students are guided by the
teacher's direction and expectations.
☐ Student-Led: Students are given voice and choice in the activities. They may select the topic for
presentation and/or determine the tool they will use to meet the learning goal. Products of
learning will be uniquely designed. Teacher simply facilitates the learning in a lesson like this.
☐ Project-based and/or Publishable: Students are completing projects to demonstrate their learning
and the projects can be shared outside of the classroom. This objective could be reached by
displaying the project on the school’s morning newscast, posting the project to the classroom
blog, presenting it to another class, or publishing it via an outside source.
Lesson idea implementation:

In the lesson, I will use my digital scrapbook to help inform students of different stages of the
frog life cycle. Next, I will have a teacher-led discussion about the main ideas of the ebook.

The teacher will discuss the eggs, tadpoles, and how a frog transitions to frog. Next, students
will go into smaller groups to complete the lesson. Students will be given a storyboard where
for five minutes they will discuss with their group a story they are going to make about the
life cycle of an animal of their choice. Students can make up characters for their story and
include their point of view or they can create a model that goes through different steps of an
animal’s life cycle. Once their ideas and story is written, students will use technology such a
PowerPoint, to organize their own thoughts about life cycles. Students will then get the
chance to share their stories with their classmates.
Managing the technology/engagement: Describe a way to use this technology in a way that
gets students actively involved in authentic tasks and contexts? How will you manage the
classroom behaviors on the technology:
Students will have access to technology to help students with a variety to different learning
styles. Trough technology, they will have the opportunity to engaged in a hands-on aspect,
visuals, audio, as well as collaboration with peers.
 Time limits: students will have 20 minutes to work with their peers to complete the
lesson. This will help them focus on the lesson and stay productive.
 Collaborative pairs: Students will be placed in groups of four so that students can all
be engaged in the lesson and allows for feedback by all the students.
 Making a written plan prior to technology: Students will construct a written plan or
storyboard before bringing their ideas together using technology. This can make
students more motivated to construct their ideas and then they can move to the
computers.
Universal Design for Learning (UDL): The story books will help keep students engaged in the
lesson and they will work together with their peers to come up with their own representation
of the content. The digital scrapbook will provide audio, and visuals to help aid students in
their learning.
 Representation: Some tools that will be used to provide additional representation
include providing instructions and the ebook in different languages and changing
vocabulary in the lesson.
 Engagement: This lesson provides a variety of different learning strategies to make
sure all students learning styles are met. This lesson has a hands-on component, as
well as auditory and visual component.
 Action and expression: Students have the chance to discuss in a whole group as well
as small groups to express their ideas. They will also have options of how they can
express their thinking through the story they create.
Reflecting on enhanced learning:

I think that implementing a story book into the classroom makes it a unique way to receive
information and is engaging to the students. Then students can expand their thinking and
create their own model of the frog life cycle.
