Also, do I have to cite the teacher? Especially if I make changes throughout the lesson. I am about to enter student teaching. But have a lesson do for a e-portfolio. It has to be a lesson for 1st grade that uses the use of technology to enhance learning. Help please. So new at this.

If a teacher has posted a lesson plan on the net, then its in the public domain, so is free to use.
If you DO use this lesson plan, bear in mind that your tutors may KNOW this website too, so use it as a guide a re-write it in your own words and own ideas.
Use exisiting lesson plans to inspire and generate ideas, but make sure your final plan is YOUR own work, after all its YOUR lesson.

In my education class, the point was to learn the PROCESS of putting together and implementing the lesson. So, if you can do that through another teacher's online lesson plan then it should be acceptable. The idea is that you can take your expertise, creativity and resources and turn it into an enhanced learning event for your students.
Don't worry ... you'll do fine! And after you've done a couple, your confidence will shoot up and it will become easier for you. So, yeah, use THEIR structure but you write/type it in to get the hang of it, then go off on your own.

For a college course they typically will want you to cite the source. I had a professor who was cool and just let us put the url at the bottom which says "hey I got this from here and want you to know it isnt mine". I have no use for all that fancy citation stuff- purely ridiculous in my opinion.
Once you are out of school, you can use lesson plans from online without citing them especially if you are just using the general framework and making numerous changes. I understand the principle of saying "this isnt solely my work" but I really think we've taken it too far.
Of coutse once you are in a classroom you will find that you dont make out the formal lessen plans like you are required to do in school

There has been a massive shift to kinaesthetic teaching methods, as research now shows that learners learn though visual, auditory and kinaesthetic means. World religions are now taught, not just Christianity. A move towards technology: subjects taught, interactive whiteboards, the internet.
