Lesson Plan, Presentation and Peer Critique - Prepare a "regular" lesson plan that you do or would deliver in your instructional area. This could be a 1- 2- or 3-hour lesson. Choose a 10-minute portion of this entire lesson to deliver for your presentation assignment. This 10-minutes must include at least four technologies that we have learned/used in this course. If you wish to use other technologies, please confirm with me first. The instructional methods are your choice--teacher- or learner-centered or both. You will be videotaped during your presentation and peer critiqued. You will upload the video to Google Docs and share it with me for self-assessment and reflection on Friday. Anyone who is absent during microteaching must contact the presenters so that the videos can also be shared with those who are absent. They then must view the videos and peer critique as well.
