Designing Technology Integrating Lessons
Mobile Tech Workshop
December 2002
Session Overview
What if you can’t find lesson plans that integrate technology for your subject matter?
How do you design technology integrating lessons from scratch?
Session Outline
The NTeQ Model Sample NTeQ Lessons Create Own NTeQ Lesson with a
partner
What’s NTeQ?
iNtegrating Technology for inQuiry
--a model for lesson design--
What is an NTeQ Lesson?
Problem-based
Student-centered
Authentic
Dependent upon the integration of technology
Designing the NTeQ Lesson
10 Step approach
Specify Objectives
Specify all your lesson objectives
Includes both computer related and noncomputer objectives

Bloom’s Taxonomy can be helpful (table 5-5)
Match Objectives to Computer Functions
Match your objectives to computer functions (see handout)
For example, to convert fractions to decimals and decimals to percentages you could use a spreadsheet program.

Time for Practice
Determine the Computer FunctionHow would you achieve the objective?
1. produce compositions that have one main idea
2. explains how Earth’s position relative to the sun affects events and conditions on earth
3. identify similes and metaphors
4. evaluate the best store to purchase a week’s worth of groceries

Connects with student’s world
Ill-structured—more than one answer
Must do research/collect data to solve
Data Manipulation
How will students manipulate the data?
Job Aids--Ex: Provide instructions on use of spreadsheet program.*
Think Sheets--Questions and ideas for students as they work through the project

NTeQ--Light Edition
Begin with what students are to learn
Create a problem for students to solve
Plan activities that require higher-order thinking
Select computer tool - if appropriate
Inc in effectiveness or efficiency of learning
Try NTeQ
Pick a partner
Pick a topic
Look at some examples on the training site
Start to fill-in the template provided on the
training site
Later, we will share
Key Points
• To design technology integrating lessons, you need to understand the relationship between learning tasks & computer functions
• Determine what students will do at the computer, before using the computer, and after using the computer
• Job Aids and Think Sheets can be very useful
