o Connect to appropriate developmental level (Piaget, Erikson, P/SE/C/M)

o How each method connects to the learning goals and objectives of a lesson

o Why is each example appropriate for these specific students?

THEORY

o YOUR or other instructional materials

o How do these items engage learners, make learning “come alive”, address varied multiple intelligences, encourage HOTS?

o How is the lesson better because of the specific instructional material?

o What technology might a teacher use to present a lesson?

o How is the technology age-appropriate?

o Overhead, document camera, computer, white board, digital camera, clicker system, etc.

o How does the technology connect to developmental levels (Maslow, Piaget, Erikson, Bloom)?
