ANGEL Learning to Unveil Lesson Plan Builder at FETC 2009
For Immediate Release - Jan. 16, 2009
Indianapolis, Ind. – January 16, 2009 – ANGEL Learning, a leading provider of enterprise eLearning software and services, will unveil its new Lesson Plan Builder at FETC 2009 in Orlando, Florida, exhibit 346. Another ANGEL innovation included in the ANGEL Learning Management Suite (LMS) at no additional cost, ANGEL’s Lesson Plan Builder allows teachers and instructional designers to easily create template-based, standards-aligned lesson plans that can be shared across an institution, promoting consistent instructional design and enabling sharing and reuse of high quality content.
Lesson Plan Templates
Institutions have the option to create custom lesson plan templates or use 8-Step or Understanding by Design (UBD) templates included in the ANGEL LMS. The 8-Step lesson plan template embodies the direct teaching methods of prominent educational theorist Madeline Hunter. The UBD approach, widely promoted by the Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development (ASCD), is based on the book of the same name authored by nationally recognized educators Grant Wiggins and Jay McTighe.
Curriculum and Standards Alignment
The ANGEL LMS Lesson Plan Builder leverages standards alignment and content sharing functionality included in the ANGEL LMS. Lesson plans can be aligned to state standards using ANGEL’s standards alignment tools. Search tools allow teachers or instructional designers to quickly find all content related to the standards associated with a lesson plan in ANGEL Learning Object Repositories, protecting an institution’s investment in curriculum by enabling easy content sharing and reuse.
Simple Lesson Plan Management
The completed lesson plan and all associated content can be shared across grades and schools as a single content item, making managing the plan quite simple.
The ANGEL LMS Lesson Plan Builder extends the ability of the ANGEL LMS to enrich teaching and learning and meet accountability demands. A single solution educators implement to meet a variety of 21st century challenges, the ANGEL LMS also provides K12 educators’ tools to manage the classroom, develop students’ 21st century skills, extend the classroom with online learning, and facilitate professional development. Educators attending FETC 2009 are invited to visit the ANGEL Learning exhibit, 346, for an ANGEL demonstration.
