Topic & Job Aid

The topic of this lesson is for students to register and use a variety of important websites in the English classroom. The initial lesson will be taught over two days in the first week of the school year. Because many students are distracted at the beginning of the year, are absent, or come to the school later in the year, a digital job aid will be provided via the class website for students to review and sign up for the sites independently. The digital job aid will be in the form of a YouTube video with voice narration that walks students through the different processes. Due to time constraints, it is likely there will be two different job aids one will help students register for the websites: NoRedInk.com, Quizlet.com, and Remind101.com. The other will demonstrate how to properly format and share a document using Google Docs. The class website can be found at: www.LakeHS.weebly.com. This site is currently under construction.

Teacher will access email to determine if all students were able to share the document through Google Drive. Teacher will gather registration data from websites. If students are not able to completely reach the objective, they will be instructed to review the job aid videos to assist them. If application of the job aid to the tasks does not produce the intended effects, teacher will assist student with additional interventions.

Evaluation of Teaching
In order to determine if the lesson was effective, the teacher will observe students properly registering and joining classes. Teacher will apply a rubric to determine if a document was properly formatted in Google Docs (Appendix A). Teacher will access email to determine if all students were able to share the document through Google Drive. Teacher will gather registration data from websites. Additionally, teacher will debrief students at the end of the two-day lesson to ascertain which aspects of the lesson were most helpful, which need improving, and which were unnecessary. Long-term evaluation of learning will be assessed by students ability to properly use the websites and Google Docs throughout the school year for a variety of assignments. If students are successfully using the designated websites and are using and formatting documents in Google Docs, all lesson objectives will have been met and the lesson will be deemed successful.

Multimedia Principles
Coherence Principle: People learn better when extraneous words, pictures, and sounds are excluded rather than included. o The job aid will only cover the required components to assist students in the specific tasks

Signaling Principle: People learn better when cues are added that highlight the organization of the essential material o The job aid will include transition slides to signal the topic and arrows will be used to show students where to click Redundancy Principle: People learn better from animation and narration, than from animation, narration, and onscreen text o I will speak clearly as I follow the processes of registering for the websites and creating a document in Google Docs. Segmenting Principle: People learn better when a multimedia lesson is presented in user-paced segments rather than as a continuous unit o The videos will be presented in four different segments o Paper-based job aids also include hyperlinks to various topics Modality Principle: People learn better from animation and narration than from animation and on-screen text. o I will speak the directions for website registration instead of using all text. Multimedia Principle: People learn better from words and pictures than from words alone. o This digital job aids will provide students with an engaging and useful resource that will enable them to register for the class websites and to properly format and share a document in Google Docs. As the video resources will be available through the class website, students will have access whenever they need them, as opposed to paper-based directions that could be lost or left at school. Additionally, the learners will be able to retain the new knowledge better than they would with a single mode of instruction. Personalization Principle: People learn better from multimedia lessons when words are in conversational style rather than formal style. o I will speak using appropriate language and tone. The narration will be succinct and relevant. Voice Principle: People learn better when the narration is multimedia lessons is spoken in a friendly human voice rather than a machine voice o I will personally narrate the videos as opposed to using a robot to speak the directions.
