Learning Outcome 5
- Exemplify ethical practices of technology usage
In-Time Lesson
Using the
In-Time resources to create or modify a lesson is not as difficult as one might
think or make it look. The In-Time lesson plan I chose to modify is originally by
Brad Kruse (2000) and is designed for high school level students. It was originally
modified for EDU649: Technologies for Teaching & Learning.
The new modifications address the ethical issue of gaining permission to use
information and photographs, needing photography releases for photographing
people, plagiarism and an understanding of fair use. The modifications are in
red. In this document, the first lesson plan was the original modification, the
second lesson plan is the newest modification.
Kruse uses a
technology lesson to address geography, language arts, history and technology
standards and skills (2000). By modifying Kruse’s lesson I can use the lesson
as a relevant assignment for my students, while reinforcing the need to make
sure to give proper credit for ideas that are not original and teaching
students that taking pictures required responsibility. They will be bringing
past and present knowledge about their home city together with technology. By
finding out about their city, the learning takes the students outside the
classroom walls and places them in the real world where they can see what they
are learning first-hand and how it may pertain to their lives outside of
school.
Additional
Materials
There are no additional materials
needed to implement this lesson plan within my classroom. The media center at
my school has the required equipment and if there is any equipment that might
be in disrepair, I can requisition it from the district office media center. By
using e-learning, the use of information and computer technologies to create
learning experiences (Horton, 2006), I can engage my students in their own
learning while teaching them valuable lessons about topics such as plagiarism
and copyright law. With the design of the lesson, students will absorb, do and
connect the lesson to their own lives. This will help them to understand more
of what is being asked of them. (Horton, 2006)
Copyright
Issues
I would need to contact In-Time to
find out about the usage fees since I have five classes of 36 students. I will
be well over the stated limit “using these
resources for groups of more than 100,” (Terms of use).
