Suggested Text Reading: Chapter 4, pages 91-104, in “Using Technology with Classroom Instruction that Works, 2nd ed.”

For this strategy, consider how you will use technology to help cue the learning for students. You may wish to locate an online video (from Discovery Streaming, Teacher Tube, or any of the other resources listed) you will use. Add the information to your copy of the Lesson Plan template and be prepared to post the link to the resource in the Orange Zone Discussion Forum at the end of this set of strategies from the Instructional Framework. You should also be prepared to share the kinds of questions you will use to help students get the most out of the video clip.

Another option would be to create an advance organizer. You might look for templates you can modify in Exploratree, create one using bubbl.us, or create a poll in Poll Everywhere to get students to assess their prior knowledge. Be prepared to post the example you create in the Orange Zone Discussion Forum. This could be a link or a screenshot of your “artifact”.
