You will be applying what you learned throughout this course and you will prepare and present a distance-delivered lesson that is technology based. Assume that you have been given the task by your employer to teach an introductory computer class to a group of people that have limited or no knowledge of computers. Your presentation will show the participants how to create a letter in Microsoft Word and then save it to an electronic file. Your presentation should teach the participants the following Microsoft Word functions: 1. How to change the font 2. How to change the size of the font 3. How to change colors of the text within the letter 4. How to center the text of their letter 5. How to move text within their letter (cut, copy and paste functions) 6. The proper form of a letter 7. How to save their letter to an electronic file within their computer You will need to incorporate the following into your project: 1. Your lesson will have to be formatted into a lesson plan format and include: a. Lesson overview b. Goals, objectives, topics, activities, etc. c. Evidence of use of technology/media selection d. Audience description and analysis e. Evaluation and assessment plans f. Proposed media and rationale 2. The distance delivered lesson itself should be based on the lesson plan detailed above, but also include the following elements: a. All activities, tasks, etc. in the lesson need to center around one of the learning theories discussed in this course (behaviorist, cognitivist, constructivist or an “integrated view of learning that takes all the perspectives into account) b. Instructional materials (including visuals) should be sent to the instructor via email c. Print materials, such as presentation handouts, should be included in the this project d. Should include graphs, charts, tables, other visuals to help your students/participants e. Be conscientious of the different learning styles of participants 3. The assignment must include references and/or a list of resources, with Web links if appropriate. Your project should include everything needed to be able for you or anyone else to go out and teach from your materials. You will need to include step-by-step instructions that include visuals for this project. Project Grading Criteria A range: The paper is clear, engaging, original, and focused; ideas and content are richly developed with details and examples. Organization and form enhance the central idea and theme; ideas are presented coherently to move the reader through the text. The voice of the writer is compelling and conveys the writer’s meaning through effective sentence structure and precise word choices. The writer successfully moves the paper through academic constructs and experiential documentation to critical analysis. The paper demonstrates a clear balance of these three components. B range: The paper is reasonably clear, focused, and well supported; ideas are adequately developed through details and examples. Organization and form are appropriate, and ideas are generally presented coherently. The voice of the writer contributes to the writer’s meaning through appropriate and varied sentence structure and word choices. Surface features do not interfere with understanding or distract from meaning. The writer has clearly brought the reader through properly cited academic constructs and experiential documentation, but has not fully developed the area of critical analysis. C range: The paper has some focus and support; ideas and content may be developed with limited details and examples. The writing may be somewhat disorganized or too obviously structured. The voice of the writer is generally absent; basic sentence structure and limited vocabulary convey a simple message. Surface feature errors may reduce understanding and interfere with meaning. The content areas of academic constructs are limited and large generalizations are made. Critical analysis is all but absent from the paper. D range: The paper has little focus and development; few details and examples support ideas and content. There is little discernible shape and no direction. The writer’s tone is flat. Awkward sentence structure and inadequate vocabulary interfere with understanding. Limited control of surface features makes paper difficult to read. Critical analysis is absent, and segments of the paper are given to rambling descriptions of life experience without academic context. I can email you a lesson plan form if you need it. I am going to put 7 pages down for this, if you need more or less please email me at betsygra@hotmail.com
