This document outlines Héctor Escalona's lesson plan for an online English class about using information and communication technologies (ICTs) in teaching English as a foreign language. The lesson plan was to share oral presentations created by English III students at USB about using videos in an ICT environment. The class was held on the WiZiQ online platform and included viewing students' videos uploaded to YouTube. Héctor prepared the content, scheduled the public class over 24 hours in advance, and conducted a practice class to learn how to use WiZiQ as the teacher. Students needed WiZiQ accounts and the proper equipment to participate.

After that private class, I felt confidence to conduct a public class.Héctor’s Web-Based Lesson PlanDescription of the computer/online activities: During this class, I, as a teacher, greeted the students and verify the platform tools in order to be sure they could listen to me and participate in the class. We have some audio difficulties during the class, but the objective was accomplished.Héctor’s Web-Based Lesson PlanDescription of the follow-up activities: Students had the opportunity to participate in class by adding comments and asking/answering questions. It was a very nice class. Finally, to close the class, they expressed how they felt about the class and the topic, and the link to watch student’s video was asked one more time to watch it after class.
