When working through the process of creating the lesson, I tried to think of ways that give the students more creative freedom in creating evidence of their learning. I did this because each level of the SAMR model wants the students to have more creative freedom and wants them to collaborate more. When thinking about the technologies that I can use, I thought about ones that I know my current class and past classes have enjoyed using because then they are going to be more engaged when creating/completing that learning task. I chose to use the Teacher Modeling (I Do/We Do/You Do) strategy for my lesson because I know that my current class responds well to it and it is also usually the strategy I go to for lessons because it works well for my students. It helps them to see me do it and to hear me think out loud so that they can start to think similarly in the We Do and You Do part. Incorporating technology into this strategy helps the students to take more ownership of what they create with each new part. I am only using the technology in the I Do, then our class is using the technology that I give them in the We Do part, but they are able to use the tools within Seesaw to complete the learning task. Then in the You Do part, the students will have options to choose from to create the final learning task demonstrating their learning.
