ISTE Technology Standard Addressed: What would you like students to know and be
Creative Communiator-1.6.b Students create able to do by the end of this lesson: Students
will be able to identify the different shapes as
original works or responsibly repurpose or
well as compare them to the other shapes.
remix digital resources into new creations.
What is the student learning goal for this lesson idea? The learning goal for this lesson is to be able to
identify shapes and recognize the difference in the shapes. Students will have the opportunity to explore and
find these shapes at their house and bring them to school and share with their classmates.

How do you plan to implement this lesson and integrate the technology? Check all that apply:
✘ Teacher-led: There is no student voice and choice in the activities. Students are guided by the
teacher's direction and expectations. Learning activities are assigned to the student and mostly
practice based.
Student-Led: Students are given voice and choice in the activities. They may select the topic of
learning and/or determine the tool they will use to meet the learning goal. The teacher facilitates
the learning as the students direct their own learning processes.
Problem-based and/or Publishable: Students are solving problems and completing projects to
demonstrate their learning. Additionally, the projects can be shared outside of the classroom.
(Note: This objective could be reached by displaying the project on the school’s morning
newscast, posting the project to the classroom blog, presenting it to another class, or publishing
it via an outside source.)

Multimedia: Audio or Video Lesson Idea
Write a paragraph describing how the lesson will be implemented using the prompts as your
guide. Remember, this lesson MUST facilitate STUDENT-USE of an audio or video tool to
demonstrate their learning on a topic of your choice: Students will be able to use the Spotify video
to learn about the shapes and the details of the lesson. Students will then take what they learned
from the video and to the lesson at home. Students will pick any 2-3 shapes that they would like
to find objects around their home. Students will then bring the objects to school to share with
their classmates and myself. Students will then take turns sharing their items and telling us what
shapes they found at home and how they identified those shapes.
Managing student learning: Will the tool(s) used for this lesson cause a shift in the behavior of
students where they move from passive to active social learners? How? Yes, based on what we
learned in class students will have to take that knowledge and us it at home to find the different
objects.
How will you allow for time-on-task and shift from passive to active learning: (Examples - Set time
limits, student must submit a plan (storyboard) before using tool, co-use/co-engagement, Ask 3 then
Me, etc.) Students will tell us their plan and how they found the shapes.
Universal Design for Learning (UDL) Reflection: Be sure to mention one specific UDL principle you
are focused on in this lesson – Multiple Means of Engagement, Multiple Means of Representation,
or Multiple Means of Action & Expression. This supports engagements because students are engaged in
the activity by searching and video different objects to share. The enhances learning support by giving
students the opportunity to see through videos and also voice overlays.
Reflection: After designing this lesson idea, how do you feel the activities you created will impact
student learning? What part of the lesson do you look forward to implementing with students?
Explain why. I feel this activity will help expand student’s knowledges about shapes. I look forward to
seeing the different objects that are shared with the class.
