 * An Ideal Lesson or Small Unit - Creating the FUTURE! **

Introduction:
Have you dreamed of creating an engaging learning experience? Your students (**young or old!**) are //so excited t//o learn that they forgot they are in in your environment for education! And, you assess them so that it makes sense to learning.

What would the ideal learning experience look like? It would be a learning experience that teaches //important content//, //uses good pedagogy//, and uses the //advantages of technology//?


 * The slide show presentation below is just something to help you think: We do we need for the future? How do we create a lesson to encourage the future? **

**Task**:
You need to create our **Ideal Lesson(S**) or **Small unit or Experience** and **an assessment tool to assess student**s. It should be something engaging to the students that helps them create a deeper understanding of a subject. It should also utilize **technology in a meaningful way**.

Instead, in your ideal lesson or small unit, you want **interaction** with the students, so that you are more facilitative or your role is a facilitator. Students should be involved in real world projects.

Real world lessons should be "higher up" Bloom's Taxonomy. Students SHOULD be analyzing, evaluating and creating.

When thinking about the technology, it should go BEYOND showing a Power Point Presentation where the instructor or presenter. In PowerPoint the instructor is using one way transmission in order to teach a concept. In this way, the teacher acts as a transmitter. When looking at SAMR the technology use should be **modification** or **redefinition**. Technology may not be center of the lesson but a means to getting something done. In other words, the technology is seamlessly integrate in a way that makes sense make learning meaningful.

**Process**
You will create an "ideal lesson" or "ideal activity" and rubric or checklist for one of your activities. The lesson should utilize the ideal classroom you have designed, including the technology.

**Steps**

 * 1) Create a document for you Ideal Lesson, SMALL unit or Experience.
 * 2) Create **Title** for your Ideal Lesson, small unit, or experience.
 * 3) Write the **overall goal**.
 * 4) **Write the large objectives**: What will the learners be able to do at the end of the lesson?
 * 5) ** List the standard. Choose one. **
 * Higher Education & PA - Instructional Technology Specialist Certificate- ISTE COACH
 * K-12 Teachers- ISTE Teacher Standards
 * Corporate Training -AECT Standards
 * 1) IF you received your inspiration from **another source, please cite it**.
 * 2) Summarize in //**paragraphs or steps**// what the ideal lesson(s) or small unit would look like. Unlike the presentation project, you //**do not**// have to create a full detailed lesson plan on the whole thing. It may be too big. Create 1-3 paragraphs.
 * 3) Create a rubric for your lesson or a checklist for the lesson, or a rubric for one part of the lesson.
 * 4) The whole lesson plan should be about 1 page.
 * 5) Writing Guidelines:
 * Overall **Goal**
 * **Standard**
 * Large Objectives - What the **students will DO**
 * Paragraph 1 - What the students will do and the instructor (make sure that it includes some technology here or below)
 * Paragraph 2 - More details (or list).
 * Make it a list of what you would do each day.
 * Paragraph 3-ASSESSMENT
 * **Formative Assessment:** What you will do for an **FORMATIVE assessment** (before a grade to modify instruction)
 * **Final assessment:** What the students will do for a **SUMMATIVE** assessment (or a Grade or Final assessment)
