Smart+Notebook



Part II

1. A short description on the lesson is based on the use of figurative language in everyday speech. My lesson is targeted towards 7th and 8th graders in hopes of expanding and sparking their interest in their own language. The higher level of skills needed to complete this lesson are proper grammar and vocabulary skills as well as efficient writting. The lesson will be achieved if I am able to educate the students on the basic tools needed to understand the use of figurative language.

2. I have meet the needs of CPBS section 7 in order to efficiently display my lesson plan through the use of technology. Standard Seven: Knowledge of Technology: The teacher is skilled in technology and is knowledgeable about using technology to support instruction and enhance student learning.   The teacher has demonstrated the ability to: 7.1 Apply technology to the delivery of standards-based instruction. 7.2 Use technology to increase student achievement. 7.3 Utilize technology to manage and communicate information. 7.4 Apply technology to data-driven assessments of learning. 7.5 Instruct students in basic technology skills. 3. One problem that I have with my lesson plan is that the information I hope to convey will not leave me enough time during a 60 minute class schedule. However, if i am given the appropriate time period, I will be able to educate the students throughout multiple class time so the information I am presenting will be clear and understanding for the students. 4. Some ideas I have about using SMART Notebook in the classroom is that it will allow students to learn visually by allowing them to interact with the lesson plan through the various questions and exercises. I feel using SMART Notebook is an appropriate means of education for younger learners becuase it is more adaptable to their kind of living. 5. I feel comfortable using the tools in SMART Notebook because I am know well educated on the various tools and ideas needed for a well organized lesson plan. I was able to accomplish the lesson plan through SMART Notebook without any major struggles or concerns. I look forward to using the brilliant technology, like SMART, in my classroom that will better prepare students for an higher education.
