1 10 IT Academy Lesson Plan Microsoft Sharepoint Turn potential into success

2 Microsoft Office SharePoint 2010: Lesson Plans Introduction Preparing to teach courses on Microsoft SharePoint 2010 for the first time can be a challenge requiring careful planning and organization. The Microsoft IT Academy provides these lesson plans to help you save time, skillfully manage the teaching environment and successfully communicate the intended lesson. The lesson plans are flexible and have been created in a concise format of small teachable units to allow you to use them with any textbook. To support a textbook independent teaching style, each lesson plan contains suggested demonstrations and explanations. The lesson plans have been developed to be independent of a predefined lesson schedule. Whether the course is taught in either a semester or quarter term format, we suggest the following class format: a 60 minute lesson lecture followed by a 120 minute lab (hands-on performance) session. This model is recommended in order to increase student performance and enhance the knowledge and skills gained through active participation in the course. Each Lesson Plan Includes: Learning Goals for each lesson. Learning Objectives that may be observed throughout the lesson. Lecture Outline that detail what to present in each class. Highlighted Cautions strategically placed throughout the lesson plan that alert you to common issues students may experience. Discussion Questions that encourage class participation. Tech Tips to remind you of items that may require explanation. Discussion questions at the conclusion of each teachable unit engage students and promote critical thinking. Quick Quiz of multiple choice and true/false type questions. Lesson Projects are provided that directly connect the student with the materials that were provided in the lesson. The projects may be used independent of a textbook or as an assessment to determine skill mastery. To simplify the scoring process, an annotated answer key for each project is included to adequately determine if the learning objective was accomplished through process of lecture and activity. Multimedia resources at the end of each unit pull together a wide variety of online demos, videos, tutorials, quizzes, and E-Learning resources all available for classroom use at no charge through your IT Academy membership. These resources can be used in class or by students as self paced instruction and lesson reinforcement outside of class.
