CWRL Technology-based Lesson Plans

lesson plan with computer imageThe CWRL is pleased to announce the creation of a new depository of innovative technology-based lesson plans and classroom assignments created by CWRL Instructors. Our new online database features a wide assortment of lesson plans and assignments employing a number of technologies.

Here, you will find everything from activities using cutting-edge new software such as NovaMind, ecomma and pageflakes, to engaging, innovative, and truly novel pedagogical uses of familiar technologies such as Google Maps and Microsoft Word.

The lesson plans address a broad spectrum of pedagogical activities—from initial brainstorming to electronic peer review, from interactive visual rhetoric lessons to collaborative multi-media online publications; the site also features lesson plans suitable for time spans as short as a single class and as lengthy as semester-long projects. Stay tuned to our new lesson plan page as we will continue to add even more submissions throughout the semester.

Also, be sure to visit the CWRL's Blogging Pedagogy site which features an ongoing series of weekly interviews with individual instructors about their technology-based assignments, allowing for a more in-depth and personal look at our featured lesson plans.
