Lesson+Planning

   **__LESSON PLANNING __**  Lesson plans allow us to determine what we would like our students to achieve from participating in the lesson. These intended student achievements are often called '[|learning objectives]'. Sometimes, introducing a new tool can distract from the learning objectives. Articulating the objectives for the lesson should allow us to keep the focus on student learning and not get distracted by the details of the web tool. Lesson plans are useful for managing the many tasks are involved in during a lesson. In addition to 'setting-up' at the computer lab, working with web 2.0 tools typically requires registration and following a number of specific steps. By accurately noting the procedure for these tasks, essential information can be given quickly and we can move expediently to the learning activities. Lesson plans also allow us to keep a record of our best laid plans. These can serve as models to implement or reflect on in the future.
