Levels of Technology Integration (LoTi Level): (Level determined by the specific lesson idea)
☐ Level 1: Awareness ☒ Level 2: Exploration ☐ Level 3: Infusion ☐ Level 4: Integration
☐ Level 5: Expansion ☐ Level 6: Refinement
Lesson idea implementation: Before students leave for the extended weekend, students will be introduced to
the standard. We will spend some time as a class viewing a Map of Latin America. For their flipped classroom
assignment, they will access the information on the classroom blog. There are directions posted for the
assignment that ask students to complete their first map of Latin America (Mexico) after viewing the video.
Both the link to the YouTube video and the Microsoft Word document are posted on the page as well. When
students return from class, I will grade their maps for completion and allow students to create new maps as
needed if things have been mislabeled. This is because we will have a brief discussion over the video and talk
about the future maps they will create for Latin America.
Importance of technology: It is important to use technology for this assignment, however, it can be done
without technology. Students would be able to complete this assignment using their textbook or other
resources to find the answers to the graphic organizer. However, students will become more informed digital
citizens if they are asked to use the class blog for the flipped classroom assignment.
Inspiration (optional):
Internet Safety and Student Privacy: I plan on following the school district’s policies for Internet safety by
reading the handbooks on the guidelines. I will send home any needed permission forms to parents and
assess their feedback accordingly. I will also filter students’ posts so that they cannot post anything
inappropriate to the blog.

Reflective Practice: This assignment might not be available for all students. This is due to the fact that not all
students have access to the Internet at home. For students who may be in this situation, I would be sure to
give them other options. One of the things I could do is to give students an extended amount of time to
complete the assignment at school. They could use the library or a computer in class to watch the video and
complete the graphic organizer. Another thing I could do for this assignment would be to print the transcript
of the video for these students who might need it.
