Week 7: Evaluation and Assessment

Multimedia Assessment:
     This video with questions would be a formative assessment guide for me to check for student understanding of the quadrilateral attributes that we learn in 5th grade.

SURVEY: End of Year Reflection that I plan on giving to my students this last week to fill out. Click here to access it. Or see below.


Project Based Learning Rubric:

This rubric was designed for a PBL activity that I would have my students complete in math. It targets the 5th grade CCSS of the coordinate plane. The goal would be to create a map, using a coordinate plane, to give directions to another group on how to get to a certain place in the school.



Use in the Classroom:
     I intend to use the rubric to assess the students learning on a scale rating of 4 - 1. I will look at their product and give them a score, along with having themselves score their group, and the group that uses their map to score them. I will take the average of the 3 scores. Learning objective: Students will be able to create a map on the coordinate plane to guide another group of students to a certain spot in the building. I would like to incorporate PBL with other multimedia tools. I was thinking groups could put their maps and instructions on Aurasma with a trigger image. Another option would be to have them score themselves online through google classroom. I would need to make sure the groups were split up with a mixture of ability levels in each to ensure success on the project. Furthermore, students would need to be given clear instructions on what to be doing (the rubric), in order to be successful. 

Application: 
     The Pre-Training Principle from week 1 seemed to be the only real principle to align with the PBL rubric. I believe that the students will need to be comfortable with the coordinate plan first and how it works before starting this project. Thus, the prior knowledge is key in ensuring the success of this project. The principle summarizes that knowing the key concepts before is beneficial to deeper and more meaningful learning. 

Reflection:
     PBL was a term that used to puzzle me as I wondered about the success of it as a school-wide building. My hometown is turning the elementary into a PBL school and I was unsure about that. Yet, I can see the benefits of having it implemented every now and then. Since the school year is ending for us, this is something I want to work on planning over the summer so I can be clear in my instructions when explaining the project to the students. I enjoyed creating the survey as I ended up using it with my students. The playlist was one of my favorite things! Video is so engaging for students, but to add the questions right to any video blew my mind. I am recommending that to my colleagues to try out.

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...
