ISTE OUTLINE AND REFLECTION ASSIGNMENT 2
The International Society for Technology in Education has standards for both students
and teachers to help support excellence in technology education. This week we investigated ways
to improve instruction through including ISTE standards and the appropriate technology support
in lesson plans. The following paper contains the original and enhanced lesson plans, as well as
Lesson Plans
I found a lesson plan from the internet to enhance with technology. Though the lesson
plan was found under the preschool category, it seemed like kindergarten lesson. I ended up
choosing a mathematics lesson about number recognition (White, 2015). Last year, I taught
students who were four and five years old, so I both adapted the lesson to fit them and enhanced
it with technology. When doing so, I ended up changing the lesson’s objective, but including
Lesson
Introduction (10 minutes)
Have the students come together as a group.
To motivate the students, begin by saying, "Today, we will be learning about numbers.
Raise your hand if you know a number."
Randomly select students to share the number they know. This taps into their prior
knowledge.
Write down the numbers that are shared on the board.
Say, "I will share with you a poem by Mother Goose that uses all the numbers from one
to ten."
Read the poem One, Two, Buckle My Shoe.
Have the students recite the poem after you.

Differentiation
Enrichment: Give above level students the entire set of ten worksheets from Know Your
Numbers 1 to 10. Allow them to complete these at their own pace.
Support: Have struggling students complete the Number 1 Tracing worksheet during
Independent Working Time for extra practice.
Review
Assessment (10 minutes)
Conduct mini-conferences with the students individually at your desk.

Give them each a random amount of objects and ask them to use their index finger to
count the items aloud.
Review and Closing (10 minutes)
Have the students come together on the floor in a circle in groups of 10.
Assign a student to start and assign another student to end.
Have the students count off 1 to 10 in each group.
Lesson
Introduction (5 minutes)
Have the students come together as a group.
To motivate the students, begin by saying, "Today, we will be learning about numbers.
Raise your hand if you know a number."
Randomly select students to share the number they know. This taps into their prior
knowledge.
Write the numbers that are shared on the SmartBoard’s blank notebook sheet.
ISTE OUTLINE AND REFLECTION ASSIGNMENT 6
Say, "I will share with you a poem by Mother Goose that uses all the numbers from one
to ten."
Read the poem One, Two, Buckle My Shoe from the SmartBoard and use the pointer to
point to each word as you read.
Have the students recite the poem after you. Pick a child to come up and point to the
words as you read.
Students should glue objects next to a number. (Some students may need circles on the
paper with numbers next to them).
(Computers) Students have multiple options at computers (1) use Paintbrush with same
template as SmartBoard Lesson, (2) use “Birthday Candle Counting” activity on
abcya.com, (3) use “Number Match” activity on abcya.com.

Differentiation
Enrichment: Give above level students construction paper without numbers and guiding
lines; have them complete “memory” option of Objects & Numbers “Number Match.”
Support: Work one-on-one struggling students to complete guided practice activity. Use
fingers for One-to-One correspondence after gluing each object. They complete “show”
option of Objects “Number Match”
Independent Centers for extra practice.
Review
Assessment (5 minutes-During centers)
Conduct mini-conferences with the students at the (Art) centers by asking them to
describe what they made. They should be able to correctly count the highest level they
completed.
Give them each a random number and 11 objects. Ask them to give me or move that
number of objects (0 – 5 if Day 1, 6 -10 on day 2).
Review and Closing (5 minutes-During Centers)
Have the students say “one, two, buckle my shoe,” but this time use their fingers when
saying the numbers.
“Who can help me count to 10?” Count with the students.
Have the students count off 1 to 10 with the tenth person getting up to transition to the
next activity.
Reflection
Adapting and enhancing the lesson plan to include technology corresponding with two
ISTE-Student standards, was more difficult than I expected. I had ideas about how to change the
lesson plan; however, I had to make sure that the technology changes aligned with a standard.
After reviewing my completed lesson, the teacher that I asked gave me a couple of comments,
Both standards which I chose to utilize in order to enhance my lesson plan came from the
first domain, “Empowered Learner” (Standards for Students, 2017). With the availability of a
SmartBoard, students could use the interactive technology to demonstrate their understanding of
because they are, seeking feedback, improving their practice, and demonstrating their learning
(Standards for Students, 2017). The teacher that reviewed my enhancements said that the
standard was evident in the lesson because I had students moving shapes, into the circles, and
counting, so I could see which students were having difficulties (Harrell, personal
communication, August 16, 2017). The second standard that I included was 1d, which is when
students demonstrate that they understand technology operations, make choices, can troubleshoot
difficulties, and can transfer their knowledge (Standards for Students, 2017). The students did
this when I explained how to access and play “Number Match” on ABCya.com (2017). The
teacher did think that I did not cover the “troubleshooting” part of the standard, but when I
explained that it could be as simple as pressing the back button, she understood (Harrell,
The two teacher standards that will help me to create and deliver this enhanced lesson
plan come from different domains. The first is 2c, “customize and personalize learning activities
to address students learning styles, working strategies, and abilities using digital tools and
resources” (Standards for Teachers, 2017). I did this when I chose the “Number Match” and
“Birthday Candle Count” activities because they can be changed to increase difficulty or target
skills (ABCya.com, 2017). My second standard was 4c, “promote and model digital etiquette and

responsible social interactions,” which do every time I introduce digital activities to students.
(Standards for Teachers, 2017). Though there are other standards that can also be included, I feel
Conclusion
After incorporating technology into the mathematics lesson plan, I realized it gave the
students more engaging opportunities to practice this skill independently and target student
needs. In the future, I plan on focusing on ISTE student and teacher standards, just as I do with
curriculum standards.
