**Evidence 1:** EDT 604 Podcast Lesson 

This lesson was developed to incorporate the use of technology into a family and consumer science unit on Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STD’s). The students in a high school child development class will produce public service announcement podcast expressing the prevention of an STD or STI. In this lesson student’s learn about different STD by viewing a Power Point on the types and filling in a Study Guide. Students discuss what a public service announcements and teacher can show a few. Students are then assigned to a group and the students work together to produce a pod cast.  The evidence is the important to the development as a teacher because I learned how to use a different form of software like audacity and applied the use of podcast into a family and consumer education class. This was a totally different experience since I did radio spots one summer for our local radio station over twenty five years ago in which I used a reel to reel tape recorder. By creating this lesson plan and learning how to create a podcast I now have another tool and way to incorporate technology into my class and into the student’s lives.
 * Rationale 1: **

After reading a lot of different articles and discussions between class members while in working on my master’s program incorporating the use of a podcast into my classroom is in response to teaching in digital age. Studies show as well as my personal experience of teaching the past twenty years greatly prove that students are not as nearly motivated to learn when teachers use traditional teaching methods. To reach the digital learner I have to learn new ways of engaging my students and their digital learning style. This lesson shows my ability to take a traditional family and consumer education lesson and my ability to adapt to a digital driven learner. A strength of any good teacher is that they are able to change and adapt lesson to their needs of all students.

 * The teacher knows when and how to adjust plans based on student responses and other **
 * contingencies. **

As more and more research surfaces it is very necessary that teachers use this information to provide learning opportunities to reach a wide assortment of learning styles. During this particular lesson students gained or reviewed knowledge about different STD’s and STI’s through the use of PowerPoint and then were assessed on the knowledge that they gained by producing a podcast which in traditional methods I probably would have had a student make a poster.

 * The teacher plans for learning opportunities that recognize and address variation in learning styles, learning differences, and performance modes. **

Since I have never actually taught this lesson using the podcast I know that I will have to be open to adjustment and revisions. Since I am working with technology and a new lesson I already know that I will have to adjustments and revisions. I know as an experienced teacher that I will have to make adjustment as I deliver the lesson because there can be both human error and glitches when working with technology and the time frame in which it is delivered. In addition, after the lesson has been completed it is necessary for the teacher to reflect on the plans and make revisions that will make the lesson more meaningful the next time.
