DS4OERS/Image resource/Lesson



In this course, you will develop a lesson plan incorporating three teaching resources. All the resources you develop must be shared as OER to be released under an open content licence.

We recommend that you spend a little time choosing a lesson topic before you start work on creating any of the teaching resources. Once you have decided on your lesson topic, think about the three teaching resources you would like to develop for inclusion in your lesson.

What lesson topic should I choose?
You are free to choose any lesson topic and any level of the school curriculum. If you are not currently teaching, you could develop a lesson that other teachers are likely to re-use in the classroom.

Things to consider when choosing a topic include:


 * A lesson you enjoy teaching
 * A lesson that was particularly effective in the past.
 * A lesson you will be teaching in the near future (in this way, your effort in this course will save you time in the future)

What are the three teaching resources?
In this course, you will develop the teaching resources listed below. You can earn a digital badge for each completed teaching resource you submit as OER.


 * 1) Printable teaching resource that includes an open image. For example, this could be:
 * 2) * A handout summarising content to be covered
 * 3) * A worksheet activity that students must fill out (for any of the phases of a lesson, e.g. introduction, development, or consolidation)
 * 4) * An assessment or homework task
 * 5) Printable teaching resource by re-mixing open vector graphics. For example, this could be:
 * 6) * A diagram explaining a concept or process
 * 7) * A graphic organiser illustrating the relationship between concepts
 * 8) * A worksheet activity that students must fill out that incorporates vector graphics you modified
 * 9) Static audiographic remix incorporating music, voice and images saved in video file format to improve your multimedia skills. This can be used, for instance to:
 * 10) * explain or illustrate a concept
 * 11) * describe a process
 * 12) * provide a graphic organiser with an audio explanation
 * 13) * show a short slide sequence with an audio voice over

Please note that your teaching resources can be used for any:


 * phase of the lesson, i.e. the introduction, development, or consolidation
 * function of assessment, i.e. assessment for learning, assessment as learning, or assessment of learning.
