Clinical Field Experience D: Incorporating Technology

Allocate at least 5 hours in the field to support this assignment.

For this field experience, you will teach or assist with the lesson or activity that you and your mentor teacher planned during Topic 4.  This should be a STEM lesson or activity, preferably one that incorporates technology to either a whole classroom or to a small group of students that your mentor teacher has chosen.

When teaching your lesson remember to focus on:

• Instructional strategies
• Questioning to promote higher-order thinking
• Differentiation, including accommodations to meet the diverse needs of students
• Assessment
• Creating engagement and promoting discussion

Once you have completed delivering your lesson, discuss the successes and challenges you experienced with your mentor teacher. Ask for feedback and suggestions for future modifications.

Once you have completed your field experience, summarize and reflect upon the lesson in 250-500 words. Identify the areas that went well as well as areas to improve upon, and include the advice given to you by your mentor teacher. Discuss how you incorporated technology into the teaching or learning. If technology was not used, reflect on how you could have incorporated technology into the lesson. In addition, reflect on how this experience will affect your future professional practice.

Spend any remaining field experience hours for this topic observing and/or assisting your mentor teacher with instructional tasks in the classroom.

APA format is not required, but solid academic writing is expected.
