The professional can apply new electronic technologies and knowledge of those techniques in the following ways (Shelly, Gunter, & Gunter, 2010):

• For      further and deeper professional development
• To      apply technologies a they aid productivity
• To      integrate e-learning technologies into “instructional strategies, lessons,      student-based projects, and student assessments to improve student      learning—in other words, throughout the curriculum”

For this assignment, your task is to identify and describe a learning environment and create a curriculum plan for implementing e-learning in the environment that you choose. Considerations should include ways in which technology and networks may enhance productivity, including the following:

• How      the curriculum can make use of e-learning in instructional strategies and      lessons
• How      student-initiated projects, homework, or work should integrate technology,      including in-school technologies and portable devices
• A      preliminary training or development plan for affected personnel

Use the curriculum planning guide below to create your plan.

Rationale

Explain the need for the curriculum. This may include a statement of a learning

problem or issue that the curriculum will address. It often gives observational

data to support the need.

Development Team

Describe who will provide expertise and input to the development. How will the

team be composed and managed?

Resources

What documents or written resources may be useful?

Mission or Vision Statement

What is the value-added benefit?

Objectives

What will learners be able to do that they cannot do now?

Action Steps and Time Line

What needs to be done, and in what order should it be done?

Evaluation Plans

How will you measure success?

Technology integration into the curriculum has increased in the last several years. Educational organizations have discovered that technology can be integrated into each phase of teaching: preteaching activities, teaching activities, and post-teaching activities.

In this assignment, you will concentrate on integrating technology within a unit that is not already used for a previous assignment. You will provide details on how technologies are used within the unit’s activities while describing how various other technologies might also be used to design and evaluate the same unit.

Complete the following:

• Develop a lesson unit in      APA format with the following sections:
• Include an introduction      that describes the unit’s basic purpose; the student population; and any      prior knowledge, concepts, and other prerequisites that students will need      to participate in the unit. Describe the current availability of and use      of electronic technologies, including portable devices.
• List all of the specific      learning objectives or instructional objectives for the unit following      audience, behavior, condition, and degree (ABCD) format and working with      the cognitive and affective taxonomies and measurable verbs. Describe how      technology will be used to help design the unit. These technologies would      include printers, scanners, digital cameras, word processors, duplication      services, videos, portable electronic devices, and Web 2.0 tools.
• Include any technology      that assists in the production of activity materials or presenting the      activity itself. Explain how technology is used for the design,      development, or implementation of learning materials.
• Describe any hardware      equipment, all software programs, and other related equipment and      supplies.
• Describe the use of these      technologies, in detail, in at least 4 activities within the unit. A      colleague at your site should be able to follow and implement the unit      successfully based on your instructions.
• Describe how technology      will be used to assess and evaluate both cognitive and affective      objectives in the unit. Identify how students will be assessed in both      domains and how technology will aid in that assessment. Include      technologies such as electronic grade books, tablets, smartphones, quizzes      and tests graded by scanners, and instructional management systems (IMSs).      Describe how these assessment tools will contribute to both the formative      and summative evaluation of the unit.
• Describe how stakeholders      will receive and participate in this evaluation.
• Describe how technology      will be used to aid in disseminating evaluation results and in ongoing      follow-up and collaboration with students, teachers, and other      stakeholders.
