Emerging ICT Trends and Socio-Cultural Changes in Education (code MEL610) Student information Name and surname Student’s name and surname Delivery date 01/01/2022 Integrating Mobile Technology into a Lesson Plan Mobile learning offers opportunities to bring meaningful learning into the classroom by using a medium that students are already familiar with and that is an important part of the way they live, play, and communicate. We can empower learners with the use of mobile devices by providing them with an active learning experience where they do and interact, rather than listen to a lecture. By interacting with technology and each other, students develop skills autonomously. Mobile devices also give students more easy access to content and activities outside of the classroom, so that they are free to engage with the learning material in a variety of settings.

What Are Simple Ways to Use A Smartphone In The Classroom? https://www.teachthought.com/technology/40-simple-ways-to-use-a-smartphone-inthe-classroom/ Actividades 1 Emerging ICT Trends and Socio-Cultural Changes in Education (code MEL610) Main objectives ▸ To integrate your knowledge of mobile learning by using it in an educational environment. ▸ To create a lesson plan incorporating mobile strategies. Description of the activity and instructions In this activity, you will have to prepare a lesson plan for one session, incorporating the use of mobile educational strategies to present curriculum content. To that end, you may propose the use of any resource that you deem appropriate for your context. To design the lesson plan, you must first contextualize your educational proposal by outlining the class or subject area, the target students’ level, and a lesson title reflecting the topic that will be covered, all of which can be freely chosen. Within the context, you must also define what is the big idea or ideas that the students will take away from the lesson, the essential questions that the student should be able to respond, and the educational aims of the lesson, highlighting the educational content that the activities intend to explain. Secondly, you must plan out which activities the students are expected to carry out before (flipped classroom perspective), during (opening and body) and at the end (closing) of the session. The closing of the session should include an assessment of © MIU City University Miami the student’s progress. For each part of the lesson, state what digital strategies you are going to use and specify the apps or device features (e.g., camera, GPS) that you will use to implement the educational strategy under resources. Also, include an approximate time in minutes for each part of the lesson. Actividades 2 Emerging ICT Trends and Socio-Cultural Changes in Education (code MEL610) If apps are used, provide screenshots as appendices at the end of your document. Finally, you will design a rubric to assess student progress, and know whether they have met the intended goals and to what extent. To that end, the rubric must have at least two indicators made regarding the initial educational goals, and three achievement levels. Summarizing, remember that you must upload to the platform a Doc or PDF file in which you describe your session pan, where you must clearly include: ▸ A table containing the lesson plan (you can use the template at the end of this document). ▸ An assessment rubric (you can use the template at the end of this document). ▸ Screenshots of any apps you choose to use (as an appendix). Maximum length and format Includes information on maximum length of the activity (number of pages, slides, minutes of duration, etc.) and format (font, size and spacing). Assessment criteria The assessment criteria that will be considered are as follows: © MIU City University Miami ▸ Contextualization of the activity (including proper educational goals and instructions using the infinitive form). ▸ Development of the session. ▸ Digital elements. ▸ Assessment rubric containing at least two assessment criteria and at least three levels of achievement (the criteria are consistent with the goals and activities carried out during the session).
