return to the Online Workshop course lists
Your first task is to spend
about 1 to 2 hours investigating the web sites on
our links page. On the left side of the web page you
will find all types of resources dealing with
SMARTBoards and Interactive Whiteboards and how to
use them in the classroom. If you have a SMARTBoard
or Interactive Whiteboard you will want to take some
time looking over these resources. However, If you
currently do not have a SMARTBoard or Interactive
Whiteboard (IWB) you will want to go directly to the
links on the right side of the web page. These links
are all Social Study resource links that will work
will with a computer hooked to a projector or
resources that would give students interactive
activities and lesson plans for teaching and
learning in Social Studies

Your second task is to begin
with speaking or emailing your instructor to
discuss the projects or lesson you have in mind.
Together we will brain storm idea on projects or
lesson that you would like to pursue. You will
be able to discuss with Sue or Rafe the ideas you
have on lessons or creating your own Notebook
lessons. Or taking a lesson you found from someone
else and reworking it to meet the needs of your
students.
Your third task is to create a
log or journal of the hours you spend working on
this course. I do not need to have a long
description.
- ie: Searching for ideas on how to use Smart
Activities in your classroom -
4/2/2009 - 2 hours
- Working on project one or lesson plan one- 4/16/09 - 1.5 hours
- etc.
Fourth Task - Lets begin your
assignments for this course. I will be working with
each of you to determine what lesson plan(s) or
projects you
will be putting your efforts on. Take time to work
on either your project(s) or lesson plan(s). If you
have any questions please email or call.
If you are
taking this course for the first time.
You are taking Smart Social Studies You will need to
include the following information for each quarter
hour.
- One lesson plan or one project per quarter
hour you are taking.
- Assessment(s)- as needed for a lesson
plan. If you have a project do a sample for your
instructor
- Any additional materials - as needed
- Web resources used to support your lessons
or project -
please include a list of all the web sites you
used to work on your lesson plan or project. You may use
other peoples lessons or projects. Just remember to give
them credit and customize the lesson to work for
your students in your classroom. Each classroom
has a unique group of students so the lesson
plan(s) you create will be unique to your class.
So if you have taken this 727.50 Workshop for 4 graduate quarter hours.... You will be creating
4
lesson plans or projects with support materials and assessments.
(you may also mix these up. One Lesson plan and 1
project for 2 credit hours)
Making sure to document the resources you have used
for these lessons or projects. (I encourage you to use other
materials you have uses as well, just include them
in your resource list.)
I have sample lesson
plans and a lesson plan template for you to review
if you need assistance. However, many of my participants will use
their own format for writing lesson plans as long as
they include: Goals, objectives,
processes/procedure, Web links, the Ohio Content Standards, benchmarks
and indicators when available.
Documents
you may want to download as helper files. (Please
understand you do not have to use this format. It is
one that I use with my undergraduates.)
- Lesson plan
template - in PDF format
- You really can use your own format -
however, I often have teachers ask me what I am
looking for or they would like a sample. Let me
know if you want more than the template.
Web Links
for Rubric and Checklist Assessments
I also encourage all teachers to set up a
Delicious web site for saving bookmarks and
organizing them for their classroom. If you would
like to see a Podcast on how to set up a Delicious
account. Listen to this podcast.

Delicious and select it. it will take you to my
podcast.
I will step you thru the process. Or you can go

online directions there after you have set up your
own account.
