"Good morning/afternoon, everyone! I hope you all are doing well today. Our lesson topic is 'School and Technology.' To kick things off, I’d like to hear your thoughts. How has technology changed education? Feel free to share your experiences or observations. Let’s take a few minutes to discuss this together."
"Thank you all for your insights! Now, we will move on to Homework Presentations. I would like to invite 2-3 students to present their homework on a technology used in schools. Please tell us what you researched, how it’s used in educational settings, and why you chose this technology. After each presentation, we will have some time for questions, so don’t hesitate to ask!"
"Great job, everyone! Now, let’s continue with Vocabulary Building. I will introduce some key vocabulary related to technology in education. The words we’ll focus on today are: 'digital,' 'interactive,' 'resources,' 'accessibility,' and 'innovation.' I will show you some examples and visuals for each word to help you understand them better.
Digital: Refers to information in a format that can be processed by a computer. Example: Digital textbooks allow for interactive features.
Interactive: Engaging the user in a way that allows them to participate actively. Example: Interactive whiteboards make the learning process more engaging.
Resources: Tools and materials available for learning. Example: Online resources include videos, articles, and quizzes.
Accessibility: The ease of reaching or obtaining something. Example: Technology improves accessibility to educational content for all students.
Innovation: Introduction of new ideas and methods. Example: Innovative teaching methods incorporate technology in the classroom.
Now let’s practice using these words in sentences. Can anyone share a sentence using one of these words?"
"Fantastic participation! Now we’re moving into our Group Activity. I’ll split you into 5 groups, and each group will discuss a specific aspect of technology in education. Here are your topics:
Please discuss your assigned topic and prepare a brief presentation. You have 25 minutes for this. Make sure to think about the advantages and disadvantages of your topic. Let’s get started!"
"Time's up, everyone! Now we’ll move on to Printable Card Distribution. I’m handing out cards for you to fill out during the lesson. The purpose of these cards is to help you track the vocabulary you learn and jot down important points from discussions and presentations.
On your cards, please write down:
You have 10 minutes to fill these out during the remaining part of the lesson."
"Thank you for your input on the cards. Now, let’s move to Group Presentations. Each group will present their findings. You have 3 minutes for your presentation, and after each one, I encourage everyone else to provide feedback or ask questions. Let’s start with Group 1!"
"Thank you all for those insightful presentations! Now, I’m going to conduct a Random Checking of the printable cards. I will collect a few randomly to review your notes and engagement during the lesson. This will only take about 5 minutes. Please pass your cards to me when I call your group number."
"Great job today, everyone! As we wrap up our lesson on 'School and Technology,' I’d like to summarize some key takeaways. Technology has transformed educational practices in various ways, enhancing accessibility and engagement.
Now, I’d like to encourage you to reflect on how technology will impact your own learning. Take a moment to think about this and share your thoughts with a partner for a few minutes.
Finally, remember that for homework, you will need to research an innovative technology used in education and prepare a brief report for our next class. Thank you all for your participation today!"
