LESSON PLAN

TITLE: Understanding Electricity in Welding

SOURCE:Computer Program

SUBJECT AREA:Electricity in Welding

INTENEDED AUDIENCE:Adult Learners (18 years & older)

BRIEF DESCRIPTION: Understanding Electricity in Welding isa computer program that provides simple but detailed information for adult students in electrical terms related to welding equipment. It is also useful for anyone who wants a refresher onbasic electrical terminology and components for welding and cutting.

OBJECTIVES:

• Identify basic atomic structure and how the interaction of atoms enables electricity
• Identify steps of conductivity
• Successfully examine and define the flow of electricity in terms of voltage, current and resistance

STRENGTHS: Understanding Electricity in Weldingis an excellent computer program to use developmentally by following the sequence of basic concepts taught throughout the program. It is also effective for remediation of specific electrical terms and components for welding and cutting. The lessons are simple to follow and allow students to progress at their own pace. The graphics are full of color and movement which keeps the interest of the student. Each lesson is followed by a summary and then a quiz. This computer program is user friendly and enables students to build basic computer skills while taking the lessons.

STUDENT PARTICIPATION: Most of my students have no computer skills. Therefore, during the lesson students participated in using basic computer skills taught prior to using the Understanding Electricity in Welding computer program. The students are then divided into small groups and each group is assigned to create a poster using one of the above objectives. The posters are presented to the class and displayed on the class bulletin board

EVALUATION: As students movethrough the lessons, interactive exercises help gauge the student’s progress. Student scores for quizzes are stored in a management system which is accessible to both the student and instructor. Students are also evaluated on their group project and presentation.
