The Future School - School in 2020 TEAM M

LESSON PLAN

Grade: 16-19

Team: M

Subject:
Future of education.

Topic/theme : What tools will you use /would you like to use in classroom in
2020?

Key terms: Technologies, tools, laptop, mobile, device, interactive whiteboard

Goals and
objectives:
Goals

This lesson should provide to us a perspective about what
tools will we use in classroom in the future. Also, this lesson
will allow to explore all tools that we can use.
The students and teachers will discover the most appealing
device for teaching.
Objectives

● Be able to find an appropriate tool to match any specific
task
● Know how you use a specific tool
● Evaluate and compare different tools
● Describe advantages of this tools

Competences/skills:
● Creative thinking
● Collaborative work
● Planning
● Real world awareness and intervention

Standards

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.

Research and Information Fluency
● Students apply digital tools to gather, evaluate, and use
information.

1/5
22


Technology Operations and Concepts
● Students demonstrate a sound understanding of technology
concepts, systems, and operations.

Creativity and critical thinking
● Students are able to distinguish between assumptions that
are justifiable in context and those that are not.
● students are able to think of many, varied, or unusual ideas,
or use their creative thinking abilities.

Integration with ● Basic knowledge of computers (ICT)
other subjects: ● Any subject of their curricula - planning a class with ICT
tools
● Language studies (foreign / mother tongue)

Tools: ● Web browser
●Computer with Internet connection and screen projector
device for presenter
● Other high tech devices they are used to handle (maybe
beyond teacher’s knowledge) ie. smart phones, games
boxes, mp3/4, interactive whiteboard..

Learning ● video,
materials (e.g. ● website,
video clips, ● photos.
podcasts, ● iPods/iPads/tablets/cell phones/x-Box and other games, ...
websites, photos,
text books etc.)

Teaching ● Constructivist and collaboratives educational paradigms
methods:
● Here are some advices for the teacher:

1. Make sure your presentation is dynamic and engages the
students.
2. Keep moving so students have something to watch.
3. Try not to get stuck in a corner.
4. Make eye contact with as many students as possible.
5. Use positive rather than negative language
6. Limit the amount you read from the board, screen or script.
7. Add your own words and character.
8. Encourage the students to contribute every idea they
possibly can!
9. When you want your students to be fluent, flexible, original,
or to elaborate, work very hard to refrain from any evaluation
or judgment of ideas. You will be able to analyze the ideas
later.

WORK PLAN Time

We propose 2 paths (to be chosen according to the
class characteristics) - a compromise between both
is also possible):

PATH # 1

Orientation Focus and Review 10 minutes
and Take time to introduce yourself and share a little
motivation about your background and your interest in the topic.
Next, poll the audience to find out what they already
know about this topic. Then, share a little about
what you will be covering – just enough to peak their
interest.

Objectives
Tell the audience:
● Today, we are going to be learning how to
find a proper tool for a specific activity and
how to use it

Activities 20 minutes
Teacher creates a class Google Site and adds
students as collaborators. Also, teacher gives a
reflexion theme:
( for exemple: Where/what for can we use the Google
Earth tool?)
In teams or individually, students create pages in the
class Site with a solution.

Homework / Arrange students into groups of 4-5 and hand 50 minutes
independent them to research about one tool. Each group will
work represent a different tool. This tool can be a real one
or imaginary. Ask each group to invent a name that
represents their tool and its utility.

Activities As a class, discuss each tool and ask the class to 30 minutes
determine whether:
1. Is it real?
2. Is it also applicable in classroom in 2020?
3. Offer a demonstration of its use in learning a
subject of their own choice.

Conclusion When you are analyzing, comparing, or evaluating 20 minutes
and reflection ideas, be certain to keep a clear, sharp focus on what
you’re trying to do or develop using those tools.

PATH # 2

3/5
24


Orientation ● Focus and Review 10 minutes
and Before the class (previous homework), ask them to
motivation bring to the classroom every tech device they have
and usually handle inside/outside school
The main idea is to make them feel important and
experts on the subject - that will be the key word for
their performance

● Objectives
From their personal practical knowledge, ss will be
led to develop, first, their more theoretical knowledge
(researching) and then to develop their imagination and
creativity. Doing this they also learn how to use those
tools in their Personal Learning (at school level and a
precious Long life Learning competence).

Activities Face-to-face group work (brainstorming): 40 minutes
ask them what do they know about the potentialities
of the devices their group members brought to the
classroom - for instance by starting collaboratively a
wiki article (one page for each tool, made by a group
of 2 or 3 ss) - they can draw a mind map and paste it
in the wiki.

Homework / Virtual group work (wiki writing): 2 hours
independent ask them to create a school activity where they can
work use one of the tools they´re working about in the (but ss should

in the whole class) - it’d be better if you give them a deadline to do
planning template to organize their work. the homework -
let´s say a week)

Conclusion ● Cross-curriculum writing: brief report on 50 minutes
and reflection - what they have learned
- how they expect that knowledge will be helpful for
their future
- what they’ve liked the most/the less/disliked in the
activities
- and if they think that their present classes can now
live in that future already.

(this may be preceded by a live assessment discussion in
the classroom - co and hetero- assessment and activity
evaluation as well)

● Publishing in Internet - ss love to share and see
their work online

● Maybe they could present the work to a larger
group - all classes from their level/from the
entire school
