Tech Ed Resources–Lesson Plans

I get a lot of questions from readers about what tech ed resources I use in my classroom so I’m taking a few days this summer to review them with you. Some are from members of the Ask a Tech Teacher crew. Others, from tech teachers who work with the same publisher I do. All of them, I’ve found well-suited to the task of scaling and differentiating tech skills for age groups, scaffolding learning year-to-year, taking into account the perspectives and norms of all stakeholders, with appropriate metrics to know learning is organic and granular.

Today: Lesson Plans

There are lots of bundles of lesson plans available–by theme, by software, by topic, by standard. Let me review a few:lesson plans

Who needs this

These are for the teacher who knows what they want to teach, but needs ideas on how to integrate tech. They are well-suited to classroom teachers as well as tech specialists.

How do you use it

Pick the group that serves your purpose. They’re affordable, so return often to this list, when a lesson plan needs a technology infusion.

Authors

AATT crew

Stuff that goes nicely with this

Coaching or mentoring–to help you blend technology authentically and rigorously. Don’t be afraid you ask too much of students; be more afraid you won’t challenge them. 

Where do you get it

Available from the publisher

Pay via PayPal or school PO (PO: Minimum purchase of $50)

Many items also available on TpT

Here are some screenshots of the lesson plans:
