Your first task is to spend
about 1 to 2 hours investigating the web sites on
our links page. I want this to be an overview. Do
not worry about spending lots of time on any one
page. I just want you to jump around and see if you
have any problems viewing the pages. Please email me
if you are having problems with viewing any of the
main (or 1st pages) on this web site.
http://www.lima.ohio-state.edu/academics/education/ed_surfinsout.html
or you will notice you can also reach this site at
the following address
http://lima.osu.edu/academics/education/ed_surfinout.html
Your second task is to begin
with going to the following web site and
listening to my podcast on Delicious - social
networking. You will be creating an account, adding
some favorite bookmarks and send me an email of your
web site address for your delicious site. Do not
send me your password. Your website address will
look something like this.
http://delicious.com/your_username_you_created
I think if you try this out you will really like
the service that Delicious gives you. You can give
your friends, teachers, students, parents and others
your web address and share your bookmarks with
anyone who has the Internet. This is a great way to
take the students to the lab and just take them to
your delicious account and they are ready to work.
Rather than you taking time to go on every computer
in the lab and bookmark all the sites you need them
to use on a certain day in the computer lab. Make
sure you listen to my podcast for all the ins and
outs of how to use delicious. Check out one of my
delicious sites below also.
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 lesson plan ideas -
4/2/2009 - 2 hours
- Working on lesson plan - 4/16/09 - 1.5 hours
- etc.
Your fourth task is to begin
researching areas that interest you from the web
site list. There are 1000's of resources available
here for all grade levels. If you have any
difficulty finding resources please contact your
instructor right away.
If you are not a middle school teacher do not
feel you need to spend time looking at lesson plans
and web resources for the middle child. Spend all of
your time looking for resources that will
assist you in teaching your student. Notice that
some of the web sites on this list are for the
students to learn using interactive web resources.
Other sites are downloadable materials, lesson plans
or new ways to approach a concept.
5th Task - Lets begin your
assignments for this course. I will be working with
each of you to determine what lesson plan(s) you
will be putting your efforts on.
If you are
taking this course for the first time.
You are taking Surfin's OUT! Direct
hits are IN! - Basic. You will need to
include the following information for each quarter
hour.
- One lesson plan / including the Ohio Content
Standards, benchmarks and indicators (for each
lesson)
- Assessment(s)- as needed
- Any additional materials - as needed
- Web resources used to support your lessons -
please include a list of all the web sites you
used to work on your lesson plan. You may use
other peoples lessons. 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 with support materials and assessments.
Making sure to document the resources you have used
for these lessons. (I encourage you to use other
materials you have uses as well, just include them
in your resource list.)
I have sample lesson
plans for you to review if you need assistance. I
also have a lesson plan template if you would like
to use it. However, many of my participants will use
their own format for writing lesson plans as long as
they include the Ohio Content Standards, benchmarks
and indicators when available.
If you are
taking this course for a second or third time....You
are taking Surfin's OUT! Direct hits are IN!
- Advanced. You will need to include the
following information for each quarter hour. (you
are going to include all of the items you did
for the Basic course and write a one page
description on how you will use these resources to
integrate technology into your classroom environment
(or a classroom that you may have in the future).
- One lesson plan / including the Ohio Content
Standards, benchmarks and indicators (for each
lesson),
- Assessment
- Any additional materials needed
- Web resources used to support your lessons
- Plus, write a one page description of how
you will use these resources to integrate
technology into your teaching or classroom
environment. You only need to write one paper
per course. You are not required to write a
separate paper for each credit hour or lesson.
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.)
Web Links

or where to begin. Call the instructor or email.
