      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.

      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 :) )

      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.

    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!

    Pam I liked your wiki lesson plan. Depending on the age of students, the approach you took is very basic, clear, and easy to follow. Unfortunately the rubric asked for items you did not include. Some of it is the problem with wikis (I think) and some are just omitted. I think it might be helpful to give your kids more resources for their research and some more questions to answer on their research so they stay focused. I have not figured out how to post the review on Diigo, but when I do I will. Phil Howardell

    Aim/Purpose-Novice-Intro page has very little information on it, but depending on the age group, which I cannot tell, it might be very appropriate. I think this page needs more of an introduction. Lesson Plan-Mastery-Links are clear, easy to find and they all work. Student Activity Page- Mastery-Directions page lack links and you really need to go to each group's pages to get some idea of what to research. Maybe put all the info for research from the group's pages on the directions page. Might be clearer. Parent Page-Novice-No parent page Layout-Mastery-Very basic layout and formatting. Its easy to follow but not much flair. Navigation-Experts-Navigation very easy to find and all links worked. This is strength of wikis. Graphics-Novice- No graphics for this site except the ads. Accessibility-Novice- No images so no alt tags. (I did not put any alt tags on my site either) Fonts-Mastery Background-Expert- Consistent use of background and text color made site have unity and clarity. No distractions. Color Choices-Expert- Consistent use of background and text color made site have unity and clarity. No distractions. Spelling and Grammar-Expert- As far as I can tell, not spellos or grammar errors. Copyright-Mastery- I did not see anything that needed copyright statements. Contact Information-Novice- No authorship statements on pages

    Aim/Purpose-Mastery- I see that the purpose is to pay tribute to all great Americans Lesson Plan-Mastery-Very good. Links can all be seen. Student Activity Page- Mastery- Going to the group page can be confusing if students don't go to the directions page first. Parent Page-Novice-No parent page Layout-Mastery- Maybe could have used a collage of picture of the famous americans to be researched. Navigation-Experts-Easy to navigate and all links were accessible Graphics-Novice- No pictures Accessibility-Novice Fonts-Mastery- All fonts were uniform Background-Expert- Use of same backround for the entire webpage. Color Choices-Expert- Consistent with entire webpage. Spelling and Grammar-Expert- Did not see any errors. Copyright-Mastery- Contact Information-Novice- I did not see any contact information, such as an email address or phone number.

      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.

      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) :)

      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)

      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.

      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.

      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

      George, Great lesson that tackles an important topic of Internet safety, provides great definitions, resources, and is very clear and focused throughout. Your lesson uses a nice mix of technology tools (Delicious, Google Docs). * Aim/Purpose - Expert: Opening page provides a brief description of the lesson and WHY it is important to learn the concepts. Excellent! * Lesson Plan/Teacher's Guide/ Instructional Plan : Expert: Step by step procedures provided (any instructor could implement this lesson based on the information provided). Appropriate content and tech standards. Rubric is aligned with activities/process. One suggestion: have a downloadable version for teachers to print out. * Student Activity Page: Expert: Activities arranged in a logical order are focused and engaging. Great use of delicious for compiling the required lesson links. Activities are appropriate and aligned with the stated objectives. Nice use of tech tools such as Google docs in the collaborative portion of the lesson. One suggestion: depending on the size of the class, dividing the class into smaller groups to contribute to the Google doc. The way the lesson is described it sounds like the whole class participates in the same Google doc - could get overwhelming with 15 plus students. * Parent Page : Expert: Excellent information provided for parents on how to engage their learners outside the learning environment on a particularly important topic of Internet safety. Well Done! * Web Design: * Layout - Mastery: Pages are clearly labeled - users know exactly what they will find on each page. Some text falls outside the white space onto the background - particularly bullet lists. * Navigation - Expert: Easy navigation with the main menu located at the top of each page. * Graphics - Expert: Great use of graphic for both instructional purposes and web design - each one is referenced. * Accessibility - Expert: Graphics contain ALT tags. *

      George, If I have understood correctly, all the students in the class contribute to the same google document. I am not sure how many you have in each class but could having 15+ learners contributing to the same document get confusing? Is there a reason you didn't break them into smaller groups?
    • Ramsey Adams
       
      George, Overall, I love the lesson. It is teaching an important point about system security which has practical applications that are easily extended outside the classroom. I thought your use of Delicious was great. I tend to have them compile links in Delicious - why not use the tool for compiled resources to support the lesson - good thinking. These can easily be used and added to for further lessons.

      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.

      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.

      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.

    Well I certainly feel humbled here. The only problem I encountered was an inability to open the Milton S. Hershey link, it is probably my computer or my poor net-service. This is quite informative, and very well done. I certainly can take some lessons from your design skills. What program did you use for this, I found myself challenged by the wiki itself for my web page creation. Excellent work!

    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! The only problem noted was a link issue with Oregon Pioneers By Stefanie Flora, my computer could not open it, and I been having a lot of problems of that nature.
