Overview of the Final Activity

Criteria for a good lesson plan

• The lesson plan has got to explicitly address the development of students’ digital skills either directly or indirectly
• The lesson plan needs to incorporate good practices in the use of digital skills development
• The lesson plan needs to be well aligned with what you proposed the learning outcomes to be
• The lesson plan  needs to be well balanced, as in there needs to be an appropriate balance of teacher-led activities and also student-led activities in discovery

Read the details, as they are described in the europeanschoolnet academy.

Here is a list of criteria you should consider when creating your lesson plan and to use for your peer review of the lesson plans of two other people on the course:

1. The lesson plan explicitly addresses the development of students’ digital skills (directly or indirectly): for example, as part of a classroom project students have to produce a short video or website, run a social media campaign or construct a robot. Importantly, it is not necessary that the digital skills development is the main goal of the lesson, however, it is essential that a clear reference to this is provided in the lesson plan and it is explained which digital skills and how these are developed.
2. The lesson plan incorporates good practices of digital skills development: for example, the lesson plan raises students’ digital awareness by addressing digital copyright or plagiarism issues. Or the lesson plan has students use their digital skills in a real-world context with a real audience.
3. The lesson plan is well aligned with its learning outcomes: activities and assessment clearly link with the defined learning outcomes and allow the teacher to determine by the end of the lesson(s) if the objectives have been achieved
4. The lesson plan is balanced: there is a good mix of activities with at least four different Teaching & Learning Activities used (TLAs in the Learning Designer) and none of the Activities taking up more than 35% of the time (see the pie chart for this)

Final Project - Introduction

In the first place Ollie is suggesting to take a retrospective view  to reflect on the course we participated so far and the journey we have made within this course. In conclusion though he admits we are only at the beginning of this journey and not at the end. We’re just at the start  of being able to continue to collaborate with other colleagues from across Europe and to put into use some of these new digital tools that we’ve learned about over the last five weeks.
