Lots of the templates are free and fairly user friendly.

Lesson plan week4-

I am planning on using the smart board for my final lesson plan.  I will be doing an interactive lesson with my "students" using a digital KWL chart, some video links, vocab, and a short writing response. 

I still have not decided on a Lesson plan template- I might create my own this evening as I am not finding one the I love or that works good with what I am hoping to create. 

Here is the Ealr/component from them OSPI website for Educational Technology in Grade 3.  I choose this subject as I am going to use it as teaching tool with my 3rd grader and I personally wanted to have a better understanding of the expectations for Educational Technology based on this weeks readings.   This is the first year that some of these Ealr's are introduced so I am focus on laying a solid-basic foundation.

This lesson plan will be a part of a greater technology unit.  Lesson plan focus-Digital Citizenship- 2.1

Common sense media- Week 4

I love this website.  It has a tons of great articles, and resources.

I chose a webpage/article on how to teach kids to keep there personal information private. 

http://www.commonsensemedia.org/educators/lesson/keep-it-private-k-2

I chose this article because I was trying to think of ways to explain digital citizenship to younger students without overwhelming them with the massive consequences that can happen as a result of not being a responsible digital citizen. 

This article/webpage gave lesson plans and all sorts of great links.  It was informative and basic at the same time.
