Supporting Instruction with Technology

Supporting Instruction with Technology

      The lesson plan I chose to use for this interactivity is called "Quests for Better Health."  I chose to go with a lesson plan that is for the Health Education classroom rather than Physical Education because I thought implementing technology within a health class would be a better choice.  I chose this plan because it allows students to use the internet in order to research certain topics.  It gives kids the chance to utilize the computer in order to dig deep and find more information about the topics at hand. I also chose this plan because the students at the end of their research are able to use their creativity in order to create a brochure that shows how we should approach a healthy diet.

      This lesson supports the standards of analyzing health data and findings in order to better create a healthier lifestyle for yourself, as well gaining the knowledge to help others. In this lesson plan students are exposed to various teaching strategies.  We have instructional strategies, discussion, research, teacher centered, and student centered.  

     I feel coggle is a great way to connect ideas that are related with the different standards.  I did find it somewhat difficult to use, but with some trial and error I found my way around it.  I feel that it can be useful in some ways, but it brings a little bit more confusion in my eyes to the standard lesson plan we are supposed to use.
