Question

Using the NETS for teachers Standard 1. b. Facilitate and inspire student learning and creativity. b. Engage students in exploring real-word issues and solving authentic problems using digital tools and resources.

Using this standard I have to: create a lesson plan that includes: at least one resource to deliver core content or information required by the standard. One activity that allows learners to think about or interact with the content or practice the target skill. One assignment that requires the learner to apply their learning. One assessment that demonstrates that the learners have acquired the target skill or competency.

Can anyone help me with this problem. I cannot come up with a lesson? Write teacher you were a great help last week can you help me with this one?

Read everything very carefully.

Answer 2

<b>All this depends on <u>what real-world issue</u> and <u>authentic problem</u> you are going to concentrate on. You cannot move ahead until you have made those decisions.</b>

Once you have decided those things, take your instructions apart and work on it in pieces before putting it all back together:

-- create a lesson plan that includes: at least one resource to deliver core content or information required by the standard.

-- One activity that allows learners to think about or interact with the content or practice the target skill.

-- One assignment that requires the learner to apply their learning.

-- One assessment that demonstrates that the learners have acquired the target skill or competency.

Answer 3

Do you have any subject matter that I can think about. I have just been researching and there is just nothing that comes to mind that relates to this standard. A real world issue can be so many things.I have not been able to commit to one because I am afraid it want fit into the standard.

Answer 4

Here are several, and some search results that should help you decide:

Addressing the need to get health clinics into rural areas

What else can you think of?

Answer 5

Maybe Global Warming, Environmental issues, Political issues, Causes of Poverty, Climate Change, Biodiversity,Foreign Aide or lack of. How do any of these sound?

Answer 6

Thank You so much for getting my brain going in the right direction. Sometimes all I need is a little push to get there.I am 53 years old trying to finish up my bachelors degree in education, it's HARD.

Answer 7

All of those are far too broad for an assignment like this ... but each could be a category within which you can find an issue.

For example, is there a specific environmental issue IN YOUR COMMUNITY that could be the focus of this lesson?

Think of specific LOCAL issues within those very large categories you can use.

Answer 8

Ok I think I will go with Addressing the Homeless in the United States.

Answer 9

Or what do you think about on addressing the violence and descrimination in college dorms.

Answer 10

I meant addressing violence and discrimination in college fraternities

Answer 11

I can have the students provide solutions to this problem, but how would I assess their work. I am deciding between the Fraternity issue or the Homeless issue but either way I can apply what you gave me last week towards this lesson.
And Thank You for sparking my creative juices.

Answer 12

Homelessness would be a more meaningful (in my opinion) assignment overall. Things to include are these:

How can a person without income save up for deposits and rent for a place to live, not to mention utility deposits, food, etc.?
How can a person apply for a job if he/she has no address?
How can a person apply for a job if he/she doesn't have proper clothing for interviews?
What other questions can you think of?
How can students find out what groups or agencies different cities, large and small, have in place to help people address these needs?

Are there agencies in your city that have services set up just to address these issues? Which ones and how do they go about it all?

Answer 13

Assessment depends on what you ask students to do specifically. You cannot address assessment until you address the other aspects of this whole plan.

Answer 14

Homeless it is and Thank You so much for your assistance and help

Answer 15

You're welcome. Have fun with this!!
