Waterbury Adult Education: Technology-facilitated
Lesson Plan (The Pyramids of Egypt)*
Teachers: Edward Staskauskas, ABE
Class/Level:
ABE RR
Lesson Duration:
1 hour+
Objectives (Learning Goals):
- To find information about the pyramids of Egypt
- To obtain introductory knowledge of the Internet
- To become more comfortable with a personal computer
- To work as a group
Rationale:
Fits in with a directed reading assignment
Technologies Used:
- Desktop Computers
- Internet Sites
- MS Encarta
Other Materials:
Encyclopedias, dictionaries, magazines, various
textbooks from book room.
Learning and Teaching Activities:
“Surfing for Substance.” In our
ABE resource room, we are fortunate to have the space for three
networked computers. The students were grouped into three and
used various search engines to find web sites. Student participation
was very obvious as they formed their own questions. They began
researching to answer their own questions pertaining to the lesson.
Evaluation of Learning:
Written and oral reports submitted by each group.
Comments:
The students produced interesting information
that they shared. I would like to have a few additional computer
systems in the ABE Resource room.
