Just In Time Lesson One - Technology Expectations

JIT Lesson One Summary

In order to structure the Just in Time (JIT) lesson on technology expectations, I used the four overarching PBIS themes that my school uses as a framework.  By using the themes of be safe, be respectful, be responsible, and be kind, the new information will be in terms that students of Peabody already know. The JIT should be about 45 minutes in length and will be presented with a Google slideshow broken down into four sections (See Below).  Each section will represent one of the four overarching PBIS themes.

In the lesson, the standard of digital citizenship 2a, 2b, and 2d (ISTE, 2019) are explored throughout the lesson and are connected to our school themes.  In addition, the slideshow has been crafted so that it culturally responsive to students. Since the lesson contains various forms of information appropriate to several learning styles, such as text, video and imagery, these strategies will accommodate all students (Howard, n.d.).  Also, included are two activities in which students either pair, create small groups, or work individually. This allows students to interact individually or collectively on the topics being explored (Howard, n.d.). 

Students at Peabody are very familiar with the four directives at our school.  By connecting the use of technology to these four directives they should be able to understand expectations while in my lab and also outside of it in their classrooms and at home.
