Who went the DIeP-est? (First , Second and Third Prize)

We are looking for the best DIeP lesson. We have only 10 spaces to showcase our best lessons. You can use any of the DIeP lessons that you have done with your learners this year and make it even Diep-er (How would you improve on it for next year?). Your submission will be internally evaluated and the top 10 will present their lesson slideshow (see below) at the Teachmeet, where the delegates and judging panel (WCED) will vote. You will have 5 minutes to win us over. What are we looking for:

  • A completed Diep Lesson plan (see template here) to use next year
  • Proof of implementation (photos, videos, audio, worksheets, game links etc) from this year's e-lesson implementation.
  • A slideshow (5 minutes) that tells (sells) the story of your tech infused lesson and your DIeP journey.
    • Was it learner centered?
    • Were the learners actively participating (not passive consumption)
    • Was TPACK balanced?
    • Where on the SAMR scale will you place your lesson?
    • How did your learners enjoy the tech infused lesson?
    • Did the lesson incorporate all 4 Cs? (Creativity, Collaboration, Critical thinking, Communication)
    • What strategies did you use? (flipped classroom, rotation stations, game based learning, story telling, discussion, speed dating, jigsaw etc)
    • How did your lesson accommodate
