Expanding the Walls of Your Classroom
One Hour Workshop Lesson Plan
Date: 4.30.2014 Subject: Instructional Technology Grade Levels: 9 12 Grade Levels Overview: Participants will be introduced to several methods of expanding the impact of their
instruction beyond the classroom. Strategies will be organized and presented as the Three Cs: Community, Continuation, and Collaboration. Information for the 3 modules of this workshop can be found below. Community: Reshaping the Classroom Concept Creating an environment where students can learn while using a wealth of resources is a key idea in their academic success. However, establishing such an environment in our classrooms can only benefit student so much once they have left the school building. This module will describe several ways in which we as teachers can give students that same access to classroom resources while not in the classroom. Continuity: Instruction Beyond the Bell Being a teacher is not a title that exists only between the hours of 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. Neither then, is a student such a title. This module seeks to share how software programs such as Camtasia can allow teachers to offer the same instruction that happens inside the classroom in formats that students can access on the go! Collaboration: Connecting Students with Digital Tools There are many studies that show the benefits of group learning. This module demonstrates several ways that group learning and collaboration can continue to happen away from the classroom.
Standards for Professional Learning
Learning Communities: Professional learning that increases educator effectiveness and results for all students occurs within learning communities committed to continuous improvement, collective responsibility, and goal alignment. Leadership: Professional learning that increases educator effectiveness and results for all students requires skillful leaders who develop capacity, advocate, and create support systems for professional learning.
