Phase 3: Technology Integration Strategies

3. Specify and describe an

individual approach or a
grouping strategy for using
the technology resources.
The technology-based
activities should be
essential in helping
students to accomplish the
lesson objectives.

This activity will be held with the entire class as a

group. This was specifically chosen to help in
students:
Developing their listening skills
Following of instructions
Cooperative learning
Oral Communication
Taking turns

4. Describe how teachers will

prepare students to use
technology resources
before their work is graded.

Audience chosen is unable to use the technology

resources on their own due to their age.

5. Describe strategies for

making sure all students
(e.g., disabled) are included
in learning activities.

This lesson has been created to facilitate all

students including those with disabilities by using
M.I (multiple intelligences) teaching methods. The
lesson meets the various learning styles of
students.

minutes to access the technology resources.

8. Describe how students'

privacy and safety will be
protected while using the
technology.

Students privacy and safety are very important

especially when dealing with young ones.
No pictures will be taken of the children
before, during or after the presentation.
Students will not be left unsupervised at any
point in time.
Class will take place in the safety of their
environment (classroom)

9. Provide a backup plan if

unavailable. Therefore, measurements have been

put in place in case this occurs.
The students will line up in a straight line as
though they are going on an outing.
Students accompanied by their teachers will
be taken outside into the yard.
Farm animals are placed in various areas in
the yard. Students are then asked to find
these farm animals.
Once all farm animals have been found,
students sit quietly in a circle for circle time.
Animals are placed in the middle of the
circle.
Teacher introduces the topic at hand with a

loves to play in mud. Student says the name
of the animal and finds the animal from the
pile in the circle.
Teacher continues to ask questions and
encourage children to participate.
The session comes to an end with the
teacher reading a story about the farm.
