Covid 19 has educators and educational institutions worried about and preparing for possible school closures. What happens if students have to stay home for days or even weeks? How can we keep them learning remotely? What strategies and technology tools can teachers use to take traditional classes online?

While lesson plans may have fallen out of favor in some districts, replaced by online curriculum management systems, the lesson planning process is still an excellent opportunity for collaborative planning and development. When co-planning, it's important to have a common framework for lessons that enlists the expertise of classroom teachers and campus curriculum guides. One popular approach to lesson planning is the 5E Model (Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, and Evaluate). Let's explore 5E and how it might look when enhanced with technology. If you have other examples from your own work or online, please share them in the comments below.

The 5E+T Model Sample Lesson Plan
The 5Es and a technology connection are shown in the table below, followed by a brief description of what student success looks like.

But wait, there's more! Let's also include what this might look like with a lesson in mind.

Did You Know about This Storyboarding Tool?

Milanote is a tool for organizing creative projects into beautiful visual boards. By design, it feels a lot like working on the wall in a creative studio - visual, tactile and sometimes a bit messy. Some of its key features include being able to:
- Write notes & to-do lists, upload images & files and save things you find on the web
- Organize visually using the flexible drag and drop interface.
- Boards by default are a private place to think, but with a single click you can create a shared workspace for collaboration with your team
- Milanote is filled with hundreds of built-in templates to help you get started with a variety of different projects, from creating a mood board to writing that perfect creative brief.

Learning Objectives:
Students will learn to conduct investigations to differentiate among different forms of energy, including mechanical, sound, electrical, light, and heat/thermal energy. Students will also accomplish the following:

Design and conduct a descriptive investigation to test the effect of force on an object. Forces may include pushes, pulls, gravity, friction, or magnetism.

Select appropriate equipment, collect and record data using the metric system, and construct simple tables, charts, and bar graphs to organize, examine, and evaluate data.

Communicate valid oral and written results supported by data.

Draw inferences and evaluate accuracy of services and product claims found in advertisements and labels, such as for toys.

Record scientific data and observations in their science notebooks and practice safety during investigations.

4.6(A) Differentiate among forms of energy, including mechanical, sound, electrical, light, and heat/thermal.

4.6(B) Differentiate between conductors and insulators.

4.6(C) Demonstrate that electricity travels in a closed path, creating an electrical circuit, and explore an electromagnetic field.

4.6(D) Design an experiment to test the effect of force on an object such as a push or a pull, gravity, friction, or magnetism.

And, here's what the table might look like:

As you can see, using the 5E+T Model can simplify lesson planning and help you develop classroom activities that do more than cover required essential knowledge and skills.
