Let’s talk about lesson planning. I know, I know, this isn’t the most exciting thing to talk about… but it’s so important! Since is the last episode in my five-part series, I want you to be able to take everything you’ve learned so far and implement it in your classroom. And, to do that, you need to plan lessons! (By the way, if you haven’t heard the first four parts of the series yet, go check those out before you listen to this episode.) Before we dive into planning, though, I want to share a story with you. One of the most impactful professional learning experiences that I have ever experienced took place at the Central Texas Writing Project Summer Institute. One of the requirements was to deliver a model lesson to the group. There’s nothing more powerful than being in the seat of the student, and finding the gaps that may be missing in your lesson from their perspective. I learned so much about myself as a teacher, as well as some powerful strategies. Now, onto planning lessons! The outer, purple circle on the dynamic learning ring is the lesson planning cycle. It goes from purposeful planning through focused on learning outcomes, fearless implementation, facilitated with finesses, honest reflection, and share with the world. To illustrate these points, I’ll use model lesson plans from some amazing teachers to show how you can apply everything you’ve been learning in a real classroom setting! Tune into this final part of the five-episode opening series of this podcast to learn more about all these topics! I’ll also dig into best practices for writing lesson plans, the art of knowing how to switch gears, and other aspects of bringing dynamic learning into your fantastic new lesson plans!   In This Episode: [00:28] - Let’s get started and plan lessons that will include everything you’ve learned to make your classroom more dynamic! [02:06] - Today’s shoutout goes to all the teachers from Franklin Park, Illinois, who participated in my Dynamic Learning Workshop a few weeks ago, even though it was on a Saturday. [03:29] - Kasey digs in to how to create meaningful dynamic learning experiences for students. [06:26] - We learn that today’s content is also available in Kasey’s book, Shake Up Learning: Practical Ideas to Move Learning from Static to Dynamic. [06:45] - Kasey revisits the idea of dynamic learning, and talks about some of the struggles of lesson planning. [09:26] - We hear a reminder of exactly what dynamic learning is. [12:35] - The first model lesson plan that Kasey will talk about today is from Christine Pinto, who uses Chromebooks every day with kindergarteners! [15:26] - Christine’s lesson definitely goes beyond the tool, Kasey points out. [15:41] - The next lesson comes from Sylvia Duckworth, who you may recognize from her fabulous sketchnotes for educators! [18:27] - Kasey explores what she calls the “mind-blowing unit” from Sean Fahey, Karly Moura, Michele Waggoner, Heather Marshall, Becky Ogbouma. This one hits all of the beyonds and all four C’s! [20:53] - Next up is #GoalTime from Matt Hawkins, which is a twist on Genius Hour. [22:31] - Today’s last model lesson comes from Carrie Baughcum, a special education teacher from Chicago, Illinois. [24:50] - Are the gears turning yet? Kasey hopes that these lesson plans have provided some inspiration for your own dynamic learning experience! [25:34] - If you’re not ready to write a full lesson plan yet, you’re in the pre-planning and brainstorming phase. Kasey’s Dynamic Learning Experience Planning Document should help! Kasey walks listeners through the six steps on this document. [30:04] - Once you know what your learning targets are, you can start taking steps toward creating a dynamic learning experience using an included template: either the DLE template (make a copy) or the ONE-PAGE template. [31:32] - Kasey explains the DLE template so that listeners can use it to its fullest. [33:41] - We hear some tips on facilitation and technology. [36:41] - The next two pieces of the implementation section are about differentiation and quality feedback, Kasey explains. [38:57] - We learn about how to figure out an assessment strategy. [41:20] - Kasey recaps this circle on the outer ring of the dynamic learning model, which she has covered through this episode. [42:27] - Kasey reminds listeners that this five-part series comes with an Epic Freebie Download! [43:35] - Here’s this episode’s question: what lesson plan would you like to revamp and plan as a dynamic learning experience? Kasey invites you to share the answer in the Shake Up Learning community, or on your favorite social platform using the #shakeuplearning hashtag. [44:15] - We learn about this week’s challenge: download the freebie bundle and share this episode with another teacher. Also come join the Shake Up Learning Book Study!

Sean: “Make sure you are designing lessons to ensure students are creating.” Teacher created websites for showcasing exemplary work Google Sites - sites.google.com Weebly - education.weebly.com Sean: “Are we creating an environment that students feel confident in their creations and can share openly and get feedback. The students should know that the work they do adds value to others learning and understanding?” Students need to have opportunities and choices to create with freedom of expression. Google Drawings activity: Everyone follows the teacher’s spoken instructions (i.e., “use the line tool, now draw a rectangle”), then show how each student’s creation is unique. - drawings.google.com Sean: “It doesn’t mean they are wrong...but everyone is different and we all add value to the learning in my classroom.” Student Digital Portfolios Example of one of Jake’s old student digital portfolios - youtube.com/watch?v=MLtX04MMimI Jake: “It is important that portfolios aren’t just showing off the amazing work, they’re showing off the amazing growth.  And to do that, you have to say ‘This is the work that I started with and it’s not perfect and these are the things that are not great about it. This is the work that I’m doing now and this is the growth that I’ve seen.’” Question #2: How can educators ensure that all students get an opportunity to be heard and have the opportunity to share?

I'm a music teacher and want to animate an object like a bird, butterfly, bee, or kite, etc to show a voice pathway.

Our school does a live tv show every morning. I have one slide deck that is the script and another slide deck for graphics and videos we play on the show. It's awesome to be able to share the script with students so they can practice before they come on the show. It also make life easier for me because I can update the script every day. In the past, I created Powerpoint slides and printed them every morning. Over the past 10 years, my students have produced over 1,000 live shows.

Recently, my buddy Michael Brilla shared information on how to utilize Google Drawings. He sent me a Padlet by Karly Moura. I was mesmerized by this Padlet. The info and the direction were solid...but I was also captivated by the Padlet itself. I immediately started scheming, How can I utilize a Padlet for my next lesson prompt? It was a short skull-session. My World Civ students were due for their research paper prompt. Writing a research paper, for many students, is a daunting task. I decided to deliver my prompt and ample instructions and encouragement via a Padlet.My efforts were fruitful! To back up this audacious claim, I commandeered two original sources. Ben Momeni and Cecilia Sutton are seniors at our school and students in my World Civ class. I permit them to migrate from study hall to my room during the last period of each day. Since I rescue them every 24 hours, they were happy to help me by appearing as guests. They're wonderful, intelligent, and articulate young people. They'll provide onsite reporting on what it's like to have a prompt dropped on you via Padlet.

Once upon a time in a digital universe not so far away, a call for aide was sent out in the form of a tweet. Many tweeps saw the call for aid, but only the truly brave accepted the challenge. The task? To record a 30 second video defining the attributes of succesful professional development. 11 brave individuals took on the task, and their videos remain unedited except for some volume adjustments, a few crops, and one small trim. A special thanks to those 11 heroic individuals who responded and are helping me on my Edtech journey.
