Assignment 2

1) This is the link to the original lesson that I pulled from.

2) I will use multiple tools on the smart board. The presentation includes  
    dragging and dropping words, pulling on tabs to reveal hidden 
    sentences, and using a highlighter.

3) The NETS for students that this lesson addresses is the second one:

    Communication and Collaboration.
    Students use digital media and environments to communicate 
    and work collaboratively, including at a distance, to support 
    individual learning and contribute to the learning of others.

    This NETS fits well in my lesson because the students must   
    collaborate as a class to answer the questions presented on the board. 
    Although only one student is up front doing the actual task on the white
    board, he/she is encouraged to ask his/her classmates for help. This
    fosters student relationships and also helps them learn together.

    The NETS for Teachers that is incorporated in my lesson is also the 
    second one:

    Experiences and Assessments.
    Teachers design, develop, and evaluate authentic learning  
    experiences and assessment incorporating contemporary tools
    and resources to maximize content learning in context and to
    develop the knowledge, skills, and attitudes identified in the NETS

    This NETS for teachers is incorporated in my lesson because it says  
    that a techer should use contemporary tools to enhance learning. I am
    using the white board to help students focus.

4) Using the white board can definitely help inprove student learning by  
    encouraging participation. Kids enjoy using technology, so providing 
    them with the white board as a learning tool is extremely helpful
    because it makes them want to participate in the class lesson, so that 
    they could use the white board. Participation, in turn, leads to greater
    learning. If a student is actively participating in a school lesson, then it
    is much more likely that they will retain more information.
