Common Question II: Instructional Technology
Please discuss the instructional technologies that you integrate into your lesson plan exclude your web sites/pages because they are the basic technology. Instructional technology is referred to hard technology in this question, such as discussion board, chat, wiki, blog etc.
-
The main student activity is completed in a wiki. The students will complete their paper in the wiki. They will collaboratively compile their research in the wiki and then collaboratively write their paper in the wiki. This is a group project that will be completed in the wiki because I have found that using the wiki allows students to work together and gives them a place to have discussions as well as post the work they gather. PBWiki has a live chat session available so they can set up times for their group to meet and discuss their project as well as work on it on their own time.

-
Through indirect instruction students will be problem solving by comparing and contrasting the past and the present to determine the possibility of a particular outcome. They will use the information they learn to write a paper to inform their readers and create a multimedia presentation. The compare and contrast will be an easy approach because they will be able to take the two time periods and put them on charts to see what happened in each time period.

Common Question III: Pitfalls
Do you think your web-based lesson plan is effective and successful? Can you foresee any pitfalls in project? Please describe them.
-
The main pitfall I see to this lesson plan is going to be the student who does not have access to the internet at home. These are the students that will not contribute to the project as much as they could and will count on the other students to do most of the work. I believe overall the lesson plan is effective and will be successful, I will need to make sure that the students that do not have access to internet outside of school have time at school to work on the project be it before school or after school or during a study hall.

-
Personal Financial planning lesson. Students will create a digital story and collaboratively write a paper in a wiki comparing and contrasting the depression of the 1930's and the current recession. Then the students will use GoogleDocs to create their own Personal Financial Plan. -

Just as a message to you about the evaluation, I feel that you are at a disadvantage (before I begin the review process) because you did not use Wiki and it is harder for me to navigate through FrontPage because I am unfamiliar with it. It does look similar to Dreamweaver.
Content: *no info downloaded for this content area on the rubric* mjm
Aim/Purpose: Without looking further, I feel that I know what I will be learning about, based on the entry page. (Expert)
Lesson Plan/Teacher's Guide/ Instructional Plan:
(Mastery) there is a link to the lesson plan that displays properly.
Student Activity Page: I think that you did a great job on the Rubrics, but I think that some of the activities are not clearly described to the students. (Expert/Mastery)
Parent Page: There was information proposed for parents to participate in their child's learning. (Expert)
Web Design: *no info downloaded for this content area on the rubric* mjm
Layout: I think that the layout could use some tweaking to make it more appealing to student use. I think that if I worked with the site for longer than a day I would get used to the location of the links, and be able to navigate properly. The best page that you have is your first page that opens the lesson set; this one engages me in learning, but the other sites do not make me want to follow through with the exercises and participate (Novice)
Navigation: I would have liked to see more internal links for getting back to the main page, especially since I was unfamiliar with the web-design. I was able to use the back button to navigate, however, if I got too many pages away I had to re-open from your main dana page. I also noticed that there was a web address on teh parent page that was missing a link. (Novice)
Graphics: I think this is one area that you could develop further to stimulate and engage students. You included a background graphic for the Powerpoint presentation but other than that the only other graphic that I

I think that anytime students are able to explore different sites on the internet that they learn. My students have ot do research on the internet. This is effective because they can cross reference their information on more than one site. My students have to make a Powerpoint presentation. This is effective becuase its an assessment tool that gives student the opportunity to be creative.

Do you think your web-based lesson plan is effective and successful? Can you foresee any pitfalls in project? Please describe them.
-
I think that my lesson plan is successful. My students will obviously get the interaction and background in the classroom so that the project is less confussing. I think that if they only went off of the web sites that there would be greater confussion. -
Kim,
Thanks for response! You indicated: 'My students will obviously get the interaction and background in the classroom so that the project is less confussing."
Very intersting! Could you be more specific how it may result in less confusing? -
When students are able to bounce ideas off of the teacher they get clarification on the items that were unclear. I make sure that my students who need extra clarification or simplified directions get it. This way I can also walk the students through the steps one at a time if needed.

Great work!! Your project fits well in a 3rd grade classroom and it is a topic students will be very interested in. The graphics are a bit large and take away from the layout at times, but other than that great work!!
Aim/Purpose-Expert
Statement explains why they will be doing this project in a direct statement.
Lesson Plan/Teacher's Guide/ Instructional Plan-Mastery
Lesson plan included in full, loads properly!
Student Activity Page-Mastery
Direction page is to the point, but the corresponding activity pages lack details at times. I could not tell what the 3D animal was or how to do it. If other teachers wanted to use this project it may be confusing.
Parent Page-Mastery
This page makes the suggestion to Google the animal with child- no other "support" really offered.
Layout-Mastery
The layout is good and very usable. There are some graphics throughout the project.
Navigation-Expert
The navigation bar is very helpful. Allows the user to move freely from page to page. Links open in a separate page which is great!

Please discuss the instructional technologies that you integrate into your lesson plan exclude your web sites/pages because they are the basic technology. Instructional technology is referred to hard technology in this question, such as discussion board, chat, wiki, blog etc.
-
I do not have a true discussion board assembled for this project. There is a Wiki based response area suggested for each page all connecting main pages, (not links), for comments and questions about the page. There is direction on the learning activities page for participants to dialogue on learning experiences and concepts.
I added a Diigo book-marking page under the same name as the web site. As an overkill in the book-marking I also placed a link to delicious.
At current retrospect I have probably set up to many locations to blog or chat.

Common Question III: Pitfalls
Do you think your web-based lesson plan is effective and successful? Can you foresee any pitfalls in project? Please describe them.
-
To a point of showing students stethoscope placement, and giving a very basic auditory demonstration of what some anatomical sounds are, I think the lesson is okay. Certainly having so many places for students to write comments to would make tracking questions difficult. Futuristically I would use a better program to generate a web page, that better directs and limits wiki discussions, or blogs.
With development of skill in using a web creation program I could greatly improve my project. I think a curriculum construction course would also be greatly helpful in understanding how to put it all together for proper presentation to all. -
Another thought that just came to me it that the required textbook pages need to be a PDF and available on line. In the context here, I do not have the ability to create PDF, so I did not pursue it. I also believe I would have needed to obtain some permission of it use, so that also detered me from a possibly greatly improving piece to my project. -
It is correct to have many places to have sutdetns to comment is difficult for instructors to track.
Consider to have some management tools, such iGoogle to manage all tools we use. Using Web 2.0 tools and not use management tools could be difficult for learning and teaching. -
I had not thought of it, adding gadgets would make some features really "cool" as the saying goes. I liked some of the youtube features others have, i am not sure what exists for nursing that would be appropraite. I need to look into it!

Indirect Study (ID) is very effective in the use of this project. The student can learn and review at their own pace and the instructor takes a back seat becoming a facilitator, supporter, and resource person. The student takes on the responsibility for their learning experience, and sets their own pace, and depth of study. This type of learning process is key when the learners are in their clinical settings.
Independent Study (IS) is another effective strategy used in this application. Students are asked to review the content at home. Learners are purposefully provided opportunity to foster the development of individual student initiative, self-reliance, and self-improvement. In nursing clinical(s) such developments are required to become functional as a nurse.
Direct Instruction also applies in the context of this project, as the selected websites, provide step by step instructions of where to listen and what is being heard by the learner. The repetitive methodology of this allows the learner to have modeled what they need to achieve. Most of the physical side of nursing is repetition until appropriate skill is achieved, be the techniques of starting an Intravenous site, or diagnosis of normal verus adventitious sounds.

John, this topic is a hard one for many (like myself) but I think you underestimate how well your site is put together. I was pulled in to want to know more and I could feel the personalization, without knowing you well. Fine Job!
Expert * Aim/Purpose
The who, what, where, and why are answered on the Home Page -
Mastery * Lesson Plan/Teacher's Guide/ Instructional Plan is very thorough. May want subtitles left aligned -
Expert * Student Activity Page
All links work - very understandable
* Parent Page
None; however a neat twist on this might be on taking care of/assisting needs of parents of the students. (elderly) - just a creative thought.
Expert * Web Design - being a wiki, how did you design with your own color choice, no template...
Expert * Layout -consistant throughout
Expert * Navigation
Consistant link back to Home at the bottom of all pages. Organized and flows.
Expert * Graphics
I love the humor. With such a technical subject, and one that is hard to be interested in if you're not, your choice of images/cartoons pulls me in to read more.

ALT tag that describes the image and if it links anywhere -
Expert * Fonts
Clean and easy to read. Consistant throughout web site.
Expert * Background
Does not distract from design even though dark. Color-coordinated .Is your choice school colors?

Common Question III: Pitfalls
Do you think your web-based lesson plan is effective and successful? Can you foresee any pitfalls in project? Please describe them.
-
I feel my web-based lesson plan is effective and will be successful. The challenges that may hinder the application is the possibility of having too much to do for one lesson. I started the plan with too much content and cut back on what I wanted to cover. Having too much can be overwhelming, not only for the students, but for myself as well. I am sure that I will be able to address this when I put this into action. Is a struggle for me to access the time necessary to be productive and efficient, without over-doing. (but I have sooo much I want to say)

I have used the wiki thread as a response area to immediately involve the student's use of wiki interaction. I also incorporated NiceNet as another conference area exposing a useful site, set up with the lesson plan as well. Using other websites to teach is purposefully fun, and is a means for collaboration. Actually building a book on-line teaches by example the tools available. The home page is meant to grab the visitors attention with something to do...the use of color for immediate interest and watch a video introduction to graphic design. The script is available for diversity; I would like to further develop a better universal design in my web site. I actually filmed and edited the video, so integrating this technology is what I feel teaching web-based is all about. Application. (and learning how to put the video on the website) :)

Group collaboration. Is utilized throughout lesson, from researching sites, comparing notes, application and designing a book for presentation.
Production Process - the planning of all learning is taught in the Process Writing Exercise. Pre-production (the beginning) involves the brainstorming. Production (the focus) Drafting and developing. Post-production (feedback) review and adjustment.
Expectations: Tried to make sure that there were no questions as to what is expected, and that the lesson was easy to follow.

Please discuss the instructional technologies that you integrate into your lesson plan exclude your web sites/pages because they are the basic technology. Instructional technology is referred to hard technology in this question, such as discussion board, chat, wiki, blog etc.
-
The instructional technologies that are in this lesson are posting a digital picture to the web page, having a discussion or commenting in the discussion area, and (I know it is not an instructional technology, but it is a very important skill to learn) navigating the websites to complete a task.
Uploading the picture to the web page is going to be the most challenging technology part of the lesson. The students can, and I predict will, be using the discussion section to chat with each other.

-
The students are using a hand-on approach to retrieving and creating information. They will be responsible for their own learning in this way. They will be creating many aspects to their final projects, report, diorama, presentation, and posted picture. By them taking a hands on approach they will be more invested and engaged in their learning.
The students can also choose to be working cooperatively or independently. The choice gives students the opportunity to determine the best learning for themselves. They are also determining which style of learner they are which will benifit them in all other learning endevours.
The students will also be working on time management, organization, and long term projects. They will be developing these skills to enhance their future and curent education.

Common Question III: Pitfalls
Do you think your web-based lesson plan is effective and successful? Can you foresee any pitfalls in project? Please describe them.

I am excited about this lessom plan. I think the students will love to be able to go online to get the information and all of the resources they will need to complete the project. They will benifit from navigating through the site and the individual responsibility they must use to complete the project.
As far as pitfalls, the most difficult task for the students which will require help and assistance will be posting their picture of the diorama to the website. I think they will be able to do everything else, and I am hoping they surprise me with their abilities and I will be able to add even more things into the nest web-based lesson plan. -
I wonder you may reault the potential pitfall. Could you share with us?

Content: *no info downloaded for this content area on the rubric* mjm
Aim/Purpose: Without looking further, I feel that I know what I will be learning about, based on the entry page. This is very well laid out (Expert)
Lesson Plan/Teacher's Guide/ Instructional Plan:
(Mastery) there is a link to the lesson plan that displays properly.
Student Activity Page: You made a very clear concise page that is informative and useful to the students. I think that it was a great idea to include this as your Home page. (Expert)
Parent Page: "Oh my gosh" were the words that I spoke out loud when I saw this page. You did a phenomenal job of creating ideas for parents to engage their students. I think that you should share this model with the rest of our class and you deserve a DOUBLE (Expert) rating.

Accessibility: Only the photos on the Directions page did not have ALT tags, and I know from my own experiences that students love to click on photos, regardless of the words on a page. So maybe it is a good idea to keep the graphics off of the Student pages that have Directions. (Mastery)
Fonts: Everything is in order here (Expert)
Background:Simple is good or in this case it equals... (Expert)

Hi Tracy,
Content: *no info downloaded for this content area on the rubric* mjm
Aim/Purpose: I loved this introduction because it was creative and enticing! I think that it lacks the purpose of the task...but I want to overlook that because of the great graphics and cleverness (Expert)
Lesson Plan/Teacher's Guide/ Instructional Plan:
(Mastery) there is a link to the lesson plan that displays properly. I think that if would be easier to have a link for this under the Home page, (here is another but) I like how you are forced to enter through the Parent page and then the Student page. One way to get around this is too insert internal links into the Welcome Parents page.
Student Activity Page: (Expert) This page is inviting and visually appealing which draws the student into the activity.
Parent Page: (Mastery) I think that this is a great support page for parents except that it does not mention creative ways for the parents to be involved; it is very sterile. Your Home page was so imaginative that I am sure you can offer a creative suggestion to the parents.
Web Design: *no info downloaded for this content area on the rubric* mjm
Layout: (Expert) Finally, I can tell you how professionally well organized your site is, and that it is very consistent and user friendly. The overall concept for the site is anything but sterile :)
Navigation: I do not get lost in your site, it is simple and easy to use (Expert)
Graphics: (Expert) The graphics were very consistent and I was impressed with the simplistic design of each page, I think that your great use of graphics was the key.

Common Question III: Pitfalls
Do you think your web-based lesson plan is effective and successful? Can you foresee any pitfalls in project? Please describe them.
-
I need to get a parent page up- I am at a loss right now what to include on it since technology is somethign most of my parents do not have access too, also I need to make it bilingual.
I think overall my lesson has the potential to be very successful. My students love anythign to do with the digital cameras and this group really got into poetry this year. Any reason to break out technology in my classroom usually equals success for this group of kids. I can forsee their being some confusion on how to collaborate with the revising process and i think that instruction clips on how to create a haiku could be very beneficial. I think that I may even film my opwn students giving the instruction to help promote buy in amongst them.

Common Question II: Instructional Technology
Please discuss the instructional technologies that you integrate into your lesson plan exclude your web sites/pages because they are the basic technology. Instructional technology is referred to hard technology in this question, such as discussion board, chat, wiki, blog etc.
-
I am using google sites, which is a wiki. Students will also be using Picassa which in an online gallery/photo editing software. The wiki will act as the discussion board (as soon and I figure that out :) )

Common Question I: Effective Instructional Strategies
Please discuss three most effective instructional strategies integrated in your project. Please be sure to justify why they are effective instructional strategies. Remember instructional strategies are not your contents or "technologies," such as wiki, discussion board etc. It is the integrated soft technologies.
-
I think one instructional strategy that is effective is the use of video tutorials for Picassa. After seeing Will's comments about having videos for actual tutorials, it made me realize how visual my students this year are. They are more likely to pay attention to a video than me telling them how to do something. Another would be the use of a photo as inspiration. I think it is important that they take this picture and have owernship in it. So often they have creative blocking when they are told to create from someone else's idea. This will hopefully motivate the creative spirit. And third is group collaboration. I think my students really flourish when they are given the chance to step back and evaulate others. The evaluation and brainstorming is also going to be written so it is something they can visit multiple times to get clarification.

Aim/Purpose-Expert- You have a very clear first page which defines what you are going to do.
Lesson Plan-EXPERT!! Why didn't I think of using the taskstream lesson plan builder? It is great
Student Activity Page-Expert-the activity page shows a very good set of activities.
Parent Page-Novice-There is a parents page, but it is empty. In your case you teach 5th graders so I do believe a parents page is necessary.
Layout-expert. the page is very nicely laid out. there are no glaring colors, or distracting locations.
Navigation-mastery- The upper left hand menu bar doesn't seem thought out. . There is only one choice to naviaget to Haiku 2.0. I cannot access any of the other pages except through Haiku 2.0 (unless I use the site map). You cannot navigate away from the Lesson Plan at all. and the directions at the bottom of the page go in order of
haiku 2.0 lesson plan parents plan Q&A resources and then student activities page. They seem jumbled to me.
Accessibility- N/A There are very few images, but the ones that she has do not have Alt tags, or any other accessability issues.
Fonts-Expert- Fonts are consistent and do not distract.
Background-Mastery- Background is simple and cheerful.
Color Choices-Mastery- Very few colors, but does not distract.
Spelling and Grammar-Expert- No errors I can see.
Copyright-Expert- Very little content needed citing. Extensive use of links to actual web sites.
Contact Information-Novice- No authorship on each page except that is provided by the google sites.
My only other issue is that on this page there is NO other form of instruction besides text. There are no visual images of people making haiku (youtube has tons of videos on haiku). There are no images of the structure or format of a haiku. So it is a single channel method of instruction.
With that said, i realllllly like this project. I think it would be fun to do with my kids.
I wish the page itself was more interactive. -
Thanks Will!
I know I need a parent page :( I struggled with what to put on that page since technology is something most of my parents do not have access to, plus I need it to be in PSanish as well. Before I use this in my classroom I plan on getting that up and running. I agree that videos about haikus would be very beneficial- thanks for the suggestion!

Michaela-
Great job! I think with a few tweaks you will have a powerful learning tool on your hands. My biggest complaint is some of the color choice for fonts- but it is minor and easily fixed.
-Melissa
Aim/Purpose-Novice- There is a statement about the page being used for collaboration, but I would of liked to have seen more about the aim/purpose relating to the aspect of Women's Suffrage. This may be something that is discussed in class, but if another teacher wanted to use it, this would be unclear.
Lesson Plan/Teacher's Guide/ Instructional Plan-Mastery- Link is included and detailed lesson plans are attached.
Student Activity Page-Expert- Detailed instructions, great links, and a detailed rubric are all attached.
Parent Page-Mastery- Includes a letter to parents explaining project.
Layout-Mastery- Minor complaint- the color of the text gets lost at times and the fact that you have to scroll a lot to get important information on the home page detracted from the overall layout.
Navigation-Expert- Navigation bar is easy to use and present on every page (that helps!) Resource links open in new tab which allows the user access to the activity details while researching- which is great.
Graphics-Mastery- Graphics relate directly to the project, but I am not seeing citations for them.
Accessibility-Expert- Images have ALT tags- no audio in this project.
Fonts-Mastery- The color and size do not always match on each page .
Background-Expert- The background does not take from the readability.
Color Choices-Mastery- Links are the same color as some of the quotations- which can be misleading. The blue color is almost too close to the background color.
Spelling and Grammar-Expert-none
Copyright-Mastery- No separate citations included, but links to source included in quotes.
Contact Information-Novice- No statement of authorship found

Common Question III: Pitfalls
Do you think your web-based lesson plan is effective and successful? Can you foresee any pitfalls in project? Please describe them.
-
I do believe this can be effective in the classroom, although I do think after I teach it I will have to reflect on it to master the art of developing this lesson. Some pitfalls for me as of now is the assesibility of the web site. It is still unclear to me how to put ALT tags on my web site for other to view it. Other than that, I feel I will have to help my students through wiki. Most students will not understand until they completely "get" the whole process.

-
Common Question II: Instructional Technology
Please discuss the instructional technologies that you integrate into your lesson plan exclude your web sites/pages because they are the basic technology. Instructional technology is referred to hard technology in this question, such as discussion board, chat, wiki, blog etc.
-
My students were to use wiki to post and discuss each others work. The focus was for the students to post their papers and have others in the class peer review. The use of the wiki is widely accessible for many students to access every students paper in the class. This in the end provides opportunities for students to have numerous peers evaluate their work.

Remember instructional strategies are not your contents or "technologies," such as wiki, discussion board etc. It is the integrated soft technologies.
-
Three most effective instructional strategies integrated in my project are group discussions between those who peer reviewed each others work, being able to have a electronic copy of the lesson plan virtually any where they are (where are computer is present), and the use of invesigation when examining different articles.

Well in review I can certainly see I have more than just much to learn about development of lesson plans. Your though ness in thought and design are staggering to me. I was struggling with the technology, and had no concept of what lesson plans looked like. This is another very impressive and humbling to lesson plan. Excellent work!
