I was part of a team of four people that cooperatively created a Learning Plan remotely, without meeting in person to work on the project. The lesson we designed was for a 3rd grade Spanish vocabulary lesson. This is a quote from our plan about the purpose of our lesson:
"We want the students to leave with a better understanding of vocabulary in Spanish. Working together as a group, the students will get a better understanding of the vocabulary through various games and other applications. Through the use of these new technologies, they will get a better hands-on feel of the vocabulary and doing it in a fun way! The students are going to be working on different vocabulary areas such as colors, animals, and other objects they may need to know in the future. This is a fun introduction to the beautiful Spanish language."
This was the same group that we used to create our Public Service Announcement as well as our Professional Learning Community. Therefore, we already had a great team dynamic. We even nicknamed ourselves the "dream team." This made the task much easier to complete. We evenly split up the work for designing the Learning Plan so that no one person would be stuck with all of the work. We each did a fair portion of the work, so while we each contributed, it did not seem like it took a lot of effort. I personally was able to complete my part of the task fairly quickly.
Our Learning Plan was great practice for designing lesson plans in the future. It also was great practice for working on a team without meeting in person. These are both practical skills for any educator to have, so having this as a project makes a lot of sense. I really enjoyed designing this lesson with my "dream team" and look forward to making more technology-infused lesson plans in the future.
