 * Standard 7**

The teacher organizes and plans systematic instruction based upon knowledge of subject matter, pupils, the community, and curriculum goals. 
 * Teachers are able to plan different kinds of lessons. **
 * Evidence 1: ** [[file:Work Place Safety Unit iPod Lesson Plan.doc]]


 * Rationale 1: ** The Work Place Safety Unit iPod lesson plan takes a former lesson plan and implements the use of iPods for my Information Processing Students, grades 9-12. This lesson requires students to research a work place hazard for a career of their choice. They must research the causes, preventions, and statistics related to their hazard and then create a podcast or vodcast to present their findings to their classmates. Students will do peer evaluations by commenting on the discussion board for each student’s project.

Enhancing this lesson plan by integrating more technology (podcasting and discussion boards) helped me grow as a teacher by requiring me to look at a lesson I already do in class and finding ways to improve it. Not only does the technology integration make this lesson more fun for students, but it teaches them how to create digital presentations and share them online with classmates.


 * KSD:

Knowledge: ** 7.K.3 The teacher knows when and how to adjust plans based on student responses and other contingencies.

The original lesson plan without the use of podcasts was good, however, implementing the digital presentations via iPods added an element of fun as well as non-traditional technology to engage students at a deeper level.


 * Skills: ** 7.S.3 The teacher creates lessons and activities that operate at multiple levels to meet the development and individual needs of diverse learners and help each progress.

For this project, students were given basic requirements. However, like most technology-based projects some students will independently go above and beyond.


 * Dispositions: ** 7.D.2 The teacher believes that plans must always be open to adjustment and revision based on student needs and changing circumstances.

As mentioned earlier, the original lesson plan was great, however, incorporating new technology was an excellent revision.
