Creating a Digital Unit Plan
In this assignment, you will create a digital unit plan for a subject you will eventually teach and organize it on a Google Site for your future classroom. Your unit plan will not be comprehensive by any means, but it will get you started. And it will be rich in the use of digital resources to support teaching and learning!
Before you get started, review the following examples to get inspired:

This site is an example of a Unit Plan created by a former EDSC 304 student. This is a good plan to view as it demonstrates all the requirements and expectations of the Unit Plan assignment. I suggest referring back to this site often if you are befuddled as to what to do.

WHAT'S A WEBERCISE?
A webercise is a web-based learning activity. Webercises are exercises on the content knowledge that use Internet Search and Retrieval. Webercises model the use of valid sources of information as well as allow adolescents to access information in their preferred approach. They can also make use of current information that may not be included in your textbook. Webercises can be used at the beginning, middle, or at the end of a unit. They can rely on sites designed just for students or they can make use of other informational sites.

Lesson 1: Teacher Lecture and Guided Notes
You are going to create a teacher lecture using Prezi or SlideRocket, that you will be able to use when you are student teaching. You've probably used presentation tools before, but this is your opportunity to expand your skills. Remember, as the teacher your focus is on conveying information in ways that help students engage and understand the content. Images, background, fancy fonts, audio and video can all have a positive impact on student learning, but they can also create a chaotic effect if you aren't careful.
What content should you develop your teacher lecture around? Hopefully, you are interested in the idea of project-based learning. So, select a topic within your Unit Plan that would be suitable for a project-based learning experience. Now, what would your students need to know to be able to complete a project within that topic? That's what you create your teacher lecture on!
