Instruction+Plans+2012

= Instructional Plans =

Due September 7th, 2012
Through a project-based inquiry process, you will create an innovative instructional plan to be used in the classroom that incorporates content and new literacies prompted by emerging technologies. With an emphasis on collaboration and design, you will explore several emerging technologies in the context of relevant and interesting content, and then critically consider their potential for enhancing instruction. In addition, you will choose specific examples of technology to incorporate into a dynamic instructional plan aimed at teaching specific content. Working in teams during the week of the Institute, you will collaborate to generate a motivating question and complete an instructional plan.

You will produce two products of learning: 1) An innovative instructional plan reflecting knowledge of technology, pedagogy, and content; and 2) A related technology application to support the instructional plan or serve as a model product of learning for students. The products of learning generated by teachers during the week will be shared at the Design Studio Showcase on Friday of the Institute and the results of the lesson plan delivery shared at the final follow-up session in a shared best practice model.

**Please post your instructional plan on your team page. Feel free to use your own lesson plan format or use the template below (adapted from the MA Dept of ESE).
