3.5 Basic Troubleshooting
Candidates troubleshoot basic software and hardware problems common in digital learning environments. (PSC 3.5/ISTE 3e)
Artifact: ITEC 7430 Internet Lesson Plan
Reflection:
This artifact is an internet lesson plan that I developed and implemented with my students. It integrates various internet tools and provides authentic learning experiences. Within the lesson plan, there is a troubleshooting section where I planned for any issues that would arise. I contributed in this artifact by creating, developing and researching online tools that are included in the lesson plan.
The internet lesson plan demonstrates mastery of the standard 3.5 because I predicted any technical issues that would arise during the lesson. I also brainstormed a plan of action for these issues. The lesson did come with several issues that I had to facilitate with and improvise in order to help my students successfully complete the activity. Some mini lessons were planned to help with some of the troubleshooting that was included in the lesson and in my notes for it.
Before implementing the lesson plan, I predicted that students would have trouble I between Google apps and to the online resources needed to research their topic. I also predicted there would be issues with the Chromebooks and connection to the internet. There were many issues that occurred because the websites weren’t compatible with the Chromebooks as well. Another issue that the students faced was some of the Chromebooks lost battery. Since our grade level is departmentalized, our students rotate three times which caused some of the Chromebooks in my room to lose more battery than others. One final troubleshoot that occurred before the start of the lesson was an update that needed to take place. In order to prevent the update to happen during the lesson, I had my students help me with the update the day before the lesson started.
I learned that it is great to plan for troubleshooting issues, but there is no way to predict the all the possible problems could occur while using technology. I also learned that it is essential to give students time to get used to using a technology before expecting them to use the technology for produce a product. If I were to redo this lesson again, I would make sure to ask my colleagues to borrow extra Chromebooks in case some of mine lose all their battery or do not end up working. I would also like to help students understand how to move back and forth between Google Apps. Most importantly, give my students multiple opportunities to be familiar with the online tools and Google Apps prior to the start of the lesson.
The work that went into creating this artifact impacted student learning and my professional development. This artifact allowed me to predict potential issues and correct issues while implementing the lesson plan. By doing this I understand the importance of trying out technologies before using them with students. This artifact can be accessed by continual observation of troubleshooting during lesson plans.
