Week 2 - Copyright with Padlet

Lesson Outline

Use in Classroom: I intend to use this padlet as a review guide for students and parents in reference to the American Revolution. The links, photos, and music provided are all for review purposes to use and explore for the final project.

The students will be able to analyze at least 4 of the most important events and documents in the American Revolution.

Before introducing the final project, I would like to spend at least a day incorporating copyright into my teaching. Honestly, I had never given it quite much thought until starting my Master's and I now see the value and importance of it. Since technology is in our every day grips, I think it is important to spend time talking about the advanced search and giving credit where credit is due. I would like to team up with our iPad Specialist Teacher to see if she could spend time discussing this as well during the Special time.

Application: The readings from week 1, specifically the Coherence and Redundancy Principle, helped plan my thinking for this lesson idea using padlet. The American Revolution covers a lot! Therefore, I picked a few of the most important events and got ride of the extra material that isn't as essential to meeting mastery of the standard. Furthermore, with padlet, it's easier to use graphics which is something the Redundancy Principle states is more meaningful. I made sure to place in a few photos because of that principle from the readings last week. 


Reflection: My thinking this week has changed into being thankful I am able to work on my Masters in technology because of how useful it will be for my students. I've been feeling a bit overwhelmed with all the things I have going on and not knowing how to use the padlet had me worried. However, after starting work on it I was having fun! The copyright information was also good to read about and watch. I especially enjoyed the fair(y) tale clip. I am going to start making a more conscience effort of checking the copyright with the materials I use in my classroom. One tension I noticed was the Signaling Principle with padlet. I wanted to organize my artifacts in a certain way, but could not figure out how to do that. The Signaling Principle calls attention to certain things and I was hoping to do that with Padlet but wasn't able to. I definitely grew in my knowledge on copyright and use with Padlet. I'm excited to show it to my students!

    Hi Jaclyn,
    I agree with your thoughts on using Padlet. I was hesitant at first as well but found it very easy to use. I like how you used it to review content. After this week I've made the commitment to using content with the appropriate license. I think it's also important for us to teach our students how to utilize the Creative Commons licenses as they create their own digital content.

    Jaclyn, I think you did an excellent job at finding high quality resources that will enhance student learning about the American Revolution. Your use of design principals helped make this into an awesome padlet! I love that we can direct students attention to a padlet like this so that they can explore it at their own pace.

Week 5: Augmented Reality

Image
Week 5 Use in the classroom:       I intend to use the Aurasma I created for my students as a resource for them to help with the order of operations. This will support their learning because it provides different choices for them to view about the order of operations. They can watch videos, read more about it, and practice with an enrichment lesson. Learning objective: The students will be able to understand the order of operations and then apply it to problem solve numerical expressions.      When I attended MACUL this Spring, I was at a session that used augmented learning. I was a bit overwhelmed at it and put it on my summer-to-do list. When I read through this weeks materials, I was so excited! The ladies that presented on this at MACUL made it look wonderful and I was hoping to be able to figure something out for my students. I plan on using this as an introduction to Aurasma when going over the order of operations. Then as my students get familia...

Week 6: Concept/Mind Mapping

Week 6 Use in the classroom:       I could use this mind map I created with my students as an example to show them how to organize their own notes. This would give them a more organized tool of how to take notes, as compared to just jotting them down in a google doc on notability. The focusing question I used to create this mind map was " What are the 3 branches of government and what is their role? " Learning Objective: Students will name the 3 branches of government and paraphrase each branches role using a mind map to explain their understanding. I will incorporate collaboration by allowing students to work in groups of 3 to complete this mind map. Each person in the group could pick a branch to become an expert on. I would also like to utilize a Jigsaw strategy for collaboration as well where each branch meets up to go over their notes before reporting back to the group for the creation of the mind map.      In order to develop a culture of co...

Hello! I'm Jaclyn Trahan, a 23 year old, teaching 5th grade at Kennedy Elementary in Manistee, MI. I specifically teach reading, math, and social studies. I'm currently in my second year teaching and loving it! I grew up in Freeland, MI, went to college at CMU (fire-up Chips), and got a job teaching in Manistee after graduation. I have a major in Math and an ELA minor. I now live a mile from Lake Michigan and enjoy riding my bike, going to the beach, and running. In addition to teaching, I am the JV Girls Soccer Coach at Manistee, an Assistant Director at a summer camp, and am a Junior High youth group leader. I'm looking forward to learning new technology I can incorporate into my classroom and share with my colleagues. One concern I have for this course will be getting my work completed on time when I go to Africa. I am going with fellow teachers on a Missions Trip to Liberia, Africa to train local teachers for ten days and work with the students. I will not have int...
