Even if you have been teaching for decades, you may encounter the occasional struggle when coming up with a dynamic and effective lesson plan. Plans that are not well organized or clear in their direction can be hard to follow and the educational experience of the students suffers as a result. There are good things about having to create a lesson plan in advance, but there are also some debits. What often results is a game of Chinese whispers, as the teacher rushes through the plan, submits it to their supervisor, and appears not to have much of a clue about what is in the plan when implementing it.
Templates, books and forms are just some of the various means a teacher can use when trying to formulate a lesson plan. However, patience is required when using the above methods, because your commitment to these tools would often determine whether your plan succeeds or fails. There needs to be at least a modicum of organization when creating a lesson, so bear in mind that these tools will not work if you are disorganized.
Many teachers benefit from some of the programs that are on the market today that actually provide ready made lessons. This is a great help for teachers in need of a little R&R or an additional source of guidance when it comes to lesson plan writing. We weren't exactly jumping up and down about some of these products, but we were able to try a few that actually worked and were of the utmost quality.
Programs that are written for teachers by teachers, so you know that all of the information is valid and something you can work with for your students, is the best choice. You do not want to simply work with something that is written by someone who does not know much on the subject.
Another benefit of computers and lesson plan programs in general would be the fact that this would give you no choice but to integrate computers into the conventional classroom. Many students never work with computers or see the validity of them until they take a computer class or until younger students become much older. But yes, the computer deserves its rightful place in the classroom, and teaching from one would convince your students that they are indeed useful in this aspect. This gives your students a more substantial learning experience, because it gives them a powerful tool in helping them learn new things, and makes them realize that computers and education do mix after all.
