1. Lesson Design
- What do you want students to be able to know and do?
- What thinking skills are involved in your lesson?
- What are the instructional strategies used in the lesson?
- What is the value of the technology used and how does it support the learning process
- How do you know learning is occurring?
2. Self-directed Learning (SDL)
- Please describe how the students are setting goals and able to identify the learning tasks?
- How were students managing and monitoring their own learning?
Elements:

- Students formulate questions and generate their own inquiries
- Students plan and manage their workload efficiently

- Students apply their learning in new contexts
- Students learn beyond the curriculum
3. Collaborative Learning (CoL)
- What elements of collaborative learning do you think your lesson included?
- How were students setting their own goals?
- What are the different roles and tasks your students assumed in the learning activity?
Elements:

- Provide constructive feedback
- Take different roles to achieve group goals
