Locate a state standard(s) for the grade you are teaching. Identify a standard that can be addressed through a short unit (one to five days).
Now visit the ISTE NETS standards to see whether one or more of those is appropriate for helping you meet the content standard(s) you have selected.
If so, identify the tools, such as software or websites that you will be using or have used in a past lesson. Now that you have the standards in mind and have selected your technology, think about how you might assess or did assess whether your students have met the standard(s).
Will you use quizzes? Tests?
A performance-based task?
Next, think about the learning activities. How will each activity address the standard(s) you have selected? How will the activities help your students succeed on the assessment?

Think about your classroom. In your mind, where do you see the technology in that room? (Think of all the possible technologies—computers, LCD projectors, handhelds, laptop carts, and more.) How will you set up the classroom to support students in working both with technology and with each other? Ask yourself the following questions:
Will the kinds of technologies you have envisioned support all of your students regardless of their learning strengths and weaknesses?
Will these technologies support your students in working together?
Will students have enough access to technologies to meet their learning needs?
Now think about teaching in that classroom:
How will you know students are learning what you intend them to learn?
How will you identify their preferred learning style and differentiate instruction in the classroom for them?
If they are not learning what you intend, how will you address that?
