2.2 Research-Based Learner-Centered Strategies
Candidates model and facilitate the use of research-based, learner-centered strategies addressing the diversity of all students. (PSC 2.2/ISTE 2b)
Artifact: Internet Lesson Plan
Reflection:
Serving as my artifact for Standard 2.2, Research-Based Learner-Centered Strategies is the ISTE Lesson Plan. This plan was written for ITEC 7430. Creating the ISTE Lesson Plan was a great opportunity for me to design a lesson using content and technology standards. In my lesson students were challenged to use a variety of technology tools to create a budget for a family vacation. Within the project students had the chance to create additional artifacts, using technology, to demonstrate mastery of standards.
Standard 2.2, Research-Based Learner Centered Strategies, establishes a platform for the candidate to model and facilitate the use of research-based, learner-centered strategies addressing the diversity of all students. The ISTE Lesson Plan required me to model and facilitate the use of several technology tools and applications. Students had to use Office 365 OneNote, Word and Excel. Along with Office 365 tools I modeled and facilitated the use of Movie Maker, Canva, Google Tour Builder, and Adobe Spark to name a few. Students used these tools and others to preform research-based learning to help them demonstrate content and technology standards. The project was learner-centered giving students' choice and voice in artifacts created. According to his research data, good, effective teachers: (Marzano, 2017).
Through this artifact I learned more about facilitating and managing digital tools in the classroom. I used the ISTE standards for students to assist with the direction of the project. It was an adjustment implementing the technology standards in the classroom, but it has helped set my students up for future success as they will encounter the ISTE standards throughout their school years. This lesson is the beginning of my transition into a digital classroom. If I were to change this artifact to make it more impactful, I would have had the students create budgets for their family but, the students could choose what their family needed. For instance, instead of planning a family vacation, maybe their family needs a new car. This would make the lesson more meaningful, give students ownership of their learning and incorporate writing explaining why they chose the budget they did.
Students at Brumby Elementary School were impacted immediately by this artifact. Through successful planning and implementation of the ISTE Lesson Plan, technology was integrated into the math classroom. Students were engaged in the lessons and took owner in their learning as they were able to make decisions on how to demonstrate their knowledge. Designing this lesson required me to implement the ISTE standards and now I can use successfully in future lessons. The impact of this lesson can be assessed by observation and student surveys.

- Set goals.
- Provide feedback.
- Help students interact with new knowledge.
- Provide students with simulations and low-stakes competition.
- Engage with students, allowing them to talk about themselves and noticing when they aren’t engaged.
- Establish and maintain classroom rules.
- Maintain relationships with students.
- Communicate high expectations.
