Briefly‌‌describe‌‌the‌‌artifact‌‌and‌‌the‌‌context‌‌in‌‌which‌‌it‌‌was‌‌created.‌‌What‌‌was‌‌your‌‌individual‌‌ 
contribution(s)?‌‌   ‌
The‌‌Internet‌‌Lesson‌‌Plan‌‌I‌‌developed‌‌was‌‌implemented‌‌over‌‌a‌‌two‌‌week‌‌period‌‌and‌‌met‌‌ 

the‌‌content‌‌standard‌‌S7L2‌‌which‌‌is‌‌related‌‌to‌‌cell‌‌structures,‌‌cells,‌‌tissues,‌‌organs,‌‌and‌‌organ‌‌ 

systems‌‌and‌‌how‌‌they‌‌interact‌‌with‌‌one‌‌another.‌‌This‌‌lesson‌‌plan‌‌also‌‌addresses‌‌the‌‌NETS*S‌‌ 

standards‌‌1‌‌–‌‌empowered‌‌learner,‌‌3‌‌–‌‌knowledge‌‌constructor,‌‌and‌‌6‌‌–‌‌creative‌‌communicator.‌‌In‌‌ 

this‌‌subunit,‌‌students‌‌learn‌‌about‌‌cells‌‌and‌‌their‌‌structures‌‌and‌‌how‌‌they‌‌contribute‌‌to‌‌ 

maintaining‌‌the‌‌basic‌‌needs‌‌of‌‌organisms.‌‌Students‌‌use‌‌a‌‌variety‌‌of‌‌internet‌‌tools‌‌to‌‌gather‌‌new‌‌ 

information‌‌to‌‌interact‌‌with‌‌the‌‌content,‌‌ask‌‌and‌‌answer‌‌questions,‌‌and‌‌build‌‌knowledge.‌‌ 

Students‌‌are‌‌given‌‌a‌‌choice‌‌of‌‌the‌‌project‌‌they‌‌would‌‌like‌‌to‌‌complete‌‌to‌‌show‌‌their‌‌knowledge‌ 

of‌‌the‌‌content‌‌and‌‌create‌‌original‌‌works‌‌to‌‌display‌‌their‌‌learning‌‌and‌‌communicate‌‌their‌‌ideas.‌‌ 

Before‌‌beginning‌‌this‌‌lesson,‌‌students‌‌completed‌‌a‌‌pretest‌‌via‌‌Google‌‌form.‌‌I‌‌used‌‌the‌‌results‌‌to‌‌ 

determine‌‌learning‌‌materials‌‌and‌‌provide‌‌final‌‌project‌‌choices.‌  ‌

 ‌
Explain‌‌how‌‌this‌‌artifact‌‌demonstrates‌‌mastery‌‌of‌‌the‌‌standard/element‌‌under‌‌which‌‌it‌‌is‌‌placed.‌‌   ‌
In‌‌the‌‌management‌‌section‌‌of‌‌the‌‌internet‌‌lesson‌‌plan,‌‌I‌‌explain‌‌how‌‌I‌‌plan‌‌to‌ 

troubleshoot‌‌‌basic‌‌hardware‌‌and‌‌software‌‌problems.‌‌Students‌‌will‌‌be‌‌working‌‌in‌‌pairs‌‌and‌‌will‌‌ 

be‌‌able‌‌to‌‌help‌‌one‌‌another‌‌troubleshoot‌‌simple‌‌issues‌‌as‌‌they‌‌arise.‌‌To‌‌prepare‌‌this‌‌unit,‌‌I ‌‌

ensured‌‌all‌‌links‌‌and‌‌sites‌‌were‌‌available‌‌on‌‌the‌‌school‌‌Wi-Fi‌‌and‌‌student‌‌Chromebooks‌‌and‌‌that‌‌ 

they‌‌were‌‌safe‌‌for‌‌students‌‌to‌‌use.‌‌I‌‌prepared‌‌paper‌‌copies‌‌of‌‌many‌‌of‌‌the‌‌slides‌‌in‌‌case‌‌of‌‌ 

technology‌‌issues‌‌and‌‌provided‌‌them‌‌with‌‌alternate‌‌assignments‌‌to‌‌complete‌‌for‌‌these‌‌slides.‌  ‌

 ‌
What‌‌did‌‌you‌‌learn‌‌from‌‌completing‌‌this‌‌artifact?‌‌What‌‌would‌‌you‌‌do‌‌differently‌‌to‌‌improve‌‌the‌‌ 
quality‌‌of‌‌the‌‌artifact‌‌or‌‌the‌‌process‌‌involved‌‌in‌‌creating‌‌the‌‌artifact?‌‌(Not‌‌changing‌‌anything‌‌is‌n
‌ ot‌‌ 
an‌‌acceptable‌‌response.)‌  ‌

Creating‌‌this‌‌artifact‌‌helped‌‌prepare‌‌me‌‌to‌‌think‌‌about‌‌issues‌‌that‌‌could‌‌arise‌‌and‌‌ 

prepare‌‌for‌‌them‌‌before‌‌assigning‌‌the‌‌lesson‌‌to‌‌students.‌‌This‌‌helped‌‌me‌‌get‌‌ahead‌‌of‌‌several‌‌ 

issues‌‌so‌‌students‌‌would‌‌be‌‌able‌‌to‌‌remain‌‌engaged‌‌in‌‌the‌‌work‌‌rather‌‌than‌‌being‌‌unable‌‌to‌‌ 

access‌‌important‌‌links‌‌and‌‌sites.‌‌To‌‌improve‌‌this‌‌artifact,‌‌I‌‌would‌‌change‌‌the‌‌links‌‌that‌‌did‌‌not‌‌go‌‌ 

directly‌‌to‌‌the‌‌section‌‌of‌‌the‌‌site‌‌I‌‌wanted‌‌students‌‌to‌‌view‌‌for‌‌easier‌‌access.‌  ‌

How‌‌did‌‌the‌‌work‌‌that‌‌went‌‌into‌‌creating‌‌this‌‌artifact‌‌impact‌‌school‌‌improvement,‌‌faculty‌‌ 
development,‌‌or‌‌student‌‌learning?‌‌How‌‌can‌‌this‌‌impact‌‌be‌‌assessed?‌  ‌
The‌‌work‌‌that‌‌went‌‌into‌‌creating‌‌this‌‌artifact‌‌improved‌‌student‌‌learning‌‌because‌‌it‌‌provided‌‌ 

students‌‌with‌‌multiple‌‌means‌‌of‌‌engaging‌‌with‌‌the‌‌content.‌‌Students‌‌were‌‌provided‌‌links‌‌to‌‌ 

websites,‌‌articles,‌‌videos,‌‌interactive‌‌cells,‌‌and‌‌simulations.‌‌By‌‌troubleshooting‌‌as‌‌much‌‌as‌‌I‌‌could‌‌ 

ahead‌‌of‌‌time‌‌to‌‌ensure‌‌students‌‌could‌‌access‌‌all‌‌embedded‌‌content,‌‌I‌‌was‌‌able‌‌to‌‌get‌‌ahead‌‌of‌‌ 

many‌‌issues‌‌students‌‌may‌‌not‌‌have‌‌known‌‌how‌‌to‌‌overcome‌‌on‌‌their‌‌own.‌‌This‌‌allowed‌‌them‌‌more‌‌ 

time‌‌to‌‌focus‌‌on‌‌the‌‌content,‌‌thus‌‌improving‌‌their‌‌learning.‌  ‌
