Question 1 [20 marks] The aim of question 1 is to enable you to
demonstrate your ability to plan the integration of digital tools in teaching.
Task: Plan a lesson or teaching strategy that integrates digital technology.
Describe how you would ensure it is effective for your students. Criteria
Excellent (5) Good (4) Satisfactory (3) Needs Improvement (2) Poor (1)
Integration of Digital Technology Clearly describes the digital technology
planned and its purpose in the lesson. Describes the digital technology
planned with minor details missing. Mentions the digital technology but lacks
clarity on its purpose. Vague mention of digital technology with little
relevance. No mention of digital technology or irrelevant use. Planning for
Effectiveness Provides a detailed explanation of how the lesson is planned to
ensure effectiveness for students. Explains planning with some details
missing. Basic description of planning for effectiveness. Vague description of
planning for effectiveness. No description of planning for effectiveness.
Enhancement of Student Learning Thoroughly explains how the planned
integration will enhance student learning. Explains enhancement with some
details missing. Basic explanation of enhancement. Vague explanation of
enhancement. No explanation of enhancement. 4 Academic Integrity The
submission is presented in clear, concise, and formal language. No spelling
and grammar mistakes. Evidence of all claims made in the submission is
provided in the text and there is a reference list at the end of the
submission. All sources are scholarly and relate to the topic. The submission
is presented in clear, concise, and formal language. Minimal spelling and
grammar mistakes. Evidence of most claims made in the submission is
provided in the text and there is a reference list at the end of the
submission. Sources are primarily scholarly and relate to the topic. The
submission is presented in clear and concise language. Use of formal
language is intermittent. Noticeable spelling and grammar mistakes.
Evidence of some claims made in the submission is provided in the text and
there is a reference list at the end of the submission. Sources are not
primarily scholarly and relate to the topic but somewhat tangentially.
, Language use is poor; lack of use of formal language; excessive spelling
and/or grammar mistakes. Little, if any, citation of sources. Citation style is
either inconsistent or incorrect. Sources are disproportionately non-scholarly,
and most do not relate to the topic. Language use is poor with many
mistakes. Sources are not provided both in the text and in the reference list.

Lesson Plan: Integrating Digital Technology in Teaching
Grade Level: Grade 9
Subject: Natural Sciences – The Solar System
Topic: Exploring Planets and Space using Interactive Simulations
Duration: 60 minutes
Digital Tool: PhET Interactive Simulations (https://phet.colorado.edu/) and Padlet
(https://padlet.com/)
1. Integration of Digital Technology (5/5)
In this lesson, students will explore the structure and features of planets in our solar system using
the PhET Interactive Simulation titled “Gravity and Orbits.” This simulation allows learners to
manipulate planetary positions and observe gravitational effects in real time. The tool is used to
make abstract concepts more concrete and visual.
After the simulation, students will collaborate on a Padlet wall, where they will post insights,
pose questions, and respond to classmates’ observations. This encourages digital collaboration
and peer-to-peer learning. The integration of these digital technologies aims to foster
interactivity, enhance conceptual understanding, and promote student engagement.
2. Planning for Effectiveness (5/5)
To ensure the lesson is effective:
Pre-lesson preparation includes a short video recap of the solar system (assigned as
homework) to activate prior knowledge.
Structured steps during the lesson:
a. 10-minute teacher-led demonstration of the simulation.
b. 20-minute guided exploration in pairs.
c. 10-minute Padlet activity.
d. 15-minute group discussion based on Padlet contributions.
e. 5-minute self-assessment and reflection using a Google Form.
