Final Lesson
I am a Pre-Kindergarten teacher and
this has been the only grade level I have taught. I will for the purpose of this assignment
challenge my self to develop my lesson plan and activities using web 2.0 tools
I would like to do my lesson plan in technology in the 4th
grade. I would like to stay within my
area of technology. In todays global
economy it is imperative that students are up to date and prepare for 21st
century.
The following platforms are the
ones that I would like to concentrate for the lesson plan Google Classroom, Google
Drive, Google Slides and Evernote. These
platforms allows for all stakeholders to be active participants. Evernote will even allow parents to be informed about
student’s achievements and challenges.
Students in fourth grade will become familiar using a numerous
educational tools.
I am planning to introduce Google
Classroom to students at the beginning of the year in order for them to use it
throughout the year. Assignments,
quizzes and discussions can be done using Google Classroom. In the same manner I would alternate using
Google Slides.
The objective is for students to become
confident about technology and the how to use it in the classroom. Students would be able to create and
collaborate with their peers. The
assignments that students will have to carry will allow them to demonstrate
computer skills as well as to apply content areas.
Although I lack the experience in
the upper grades I will follow the TEKS to guide me in creating the lesson
plan. The lesson plan will allow
students to collaborate online. The
online will lend to engagement as students like social media. I am planning to have students work in
groups. It is important for students to
learn to collaborate and Google is an excellent way of participating by editing
and polishing a product as a team.
I am still working on the topic
that students would be researching. I
would like to focus in a topic that allows them to make connection to real
world events. One idea that I have in
mind is to do it about culture and diversity.
I feel it is important that students learn to respect diversity and it
can only happen if they learn and know more about culture and differences.
It's good to see you can still use Web 2.0 with the students you teach, it's amazing how these children are so advanced and learn how to use technology at such a young age. I teach 5th and 6th grade Science and my students really do enjoy using technology in class, so it pretty easy for me to implement it in my classroom. Great ideas on using these tools, good luck.
ReplyDeleteHi Velia, I definitely agree with you it is important to stay connected with the student’s parents. If teachers, parents, and students work together the outcome will reflect on the grades. I like your assignments that students will have to carry that will allow them to demonstrate computer skills as well as to apply content areas. I definitely agree with you the online will help students to engagement as students like social media.
