Team Website

Hi Ladies,

I know the team website ins't due until December 13th, but I figured I would get this discussion post started since we got the OK to work on our website...

Here's what we need to do:

1. Create a website using Google Sites. I have created one but I'm not sure if it's what she's looking for since it doesn't look like her example. The one I created is a classroom theme.  Let me know what you think or if we should change it altogether.        https://sites.google.com/site/firstgradebuilding/

2. Revise and submit your final Team concept map for your Collaborative Project. It should match your Storyboard AFTER it has been reviewed by your instructor.

3. We need to look at ALL required materials that have already been completed and need to be completed for our team website. Since there are so many, you may view them on e-learning (I didn't want to make this post a novel... lol).

4. One person from the group needs to submit the link to our website before December 13th, and another person needs to submit out final draft of our concept map which is also due on December 13th.

I know this is a huge assignment so I'll try to get on as much as possible. If you ladies need anything feel free to text me 269-598-8729. It's honestly the best way to reach me.

Collaborative Storyboard for Team Web Site

Hello!

So, we have to make a storyboard to help support our team website and it is due in two days (November 20th) so I figured I'd get the discussion going... We need to think "outside the box" and make sure to include everything that has to be taught in order to be able to complete the final project. We also need to remember that this project needs a big "celebration" to be shared with friends, families, and the community AND group assessment/reflection -- this will give us, as teachers, feedback along with giving students a chance to reflect on the whole project. 

These are the five things we need to focus on (on e-learning):

1. The first thing you need to do is to brainstorm everything that students would need to learn to complete the project from start to finish. Once you have this figured out, then you will decide on your web pages (seen in all caps on the storyboard sample). Every group member must create at least 2 web pages with the homepage and standards page not counting (for example, if you have 3 group members there should be at least 8 pages: 2 for each group member, the homepage, and the standards page).
2. Second, you need to figure what things should be on each page .... what all should be taught even though it has not be covered in your assignments. (in italics on the storyboard sample).
3. Third, you need to plug in all assignments (lesson plans, digital stories, virtual penpal/google map, collaborative podcast, final concept map, and collaborative blog) along with web URLs from your web evaluations on the pages where they fit with group member who did it. (in regular type on the storyboard sample).
4. Fourth, figure out what original resource each group member will complete and plug it in on the page where it fits (the requirement is: Each group member needs to create one original resource -- such as a lesson plan, a podcast, etc. Word searches and crossword puzzles do NOT count!) (in all caps and italic on the storyboard sample).
5. The last thing you need to decide is what new items of information you will need to fill in all areas on the pages you have decided on (the requirement is: Each web page created by individual group member (anotherwords, not homepage or standards page) needs to contain one or more new items of information not given throughout the semester -- ideas for lesson plans that could be completed for that area of your topic. Your new original resource does not count). This is also where you will add web sites for viewer to get more information on what you are suggesting for another lesson. Remember, this is just a brief explanation of new idea with web site(s) to give more information. (see New Item of information w/web sites on the storyboard sample).

Digital Story

Hey ladies, here is the post for our digital stories this week.
Again, our digital stories have to be about different concepts from our map, but they cannot be the same. Honestly I am a little confused about the digital story and how to use it with our lesson...

However, I think I am going to attempt to make my digital story using advertisements.

Let me know what you guys are thinking!

Revised Collaborative Concept Map Discussion

Alright, here is the discussion for the Revised Collaborative Concept Map. After creating our second lesson plans on data collection in concentrated areas from our first concept map I believe we have a lot to add on! This blog is for us to talk about what changes we have found and what changes need to be changed. This is also due by Sunday November 8th. If we still have access to our original concept map I think we can just edit from there.The site we used is bubbl.us and you will need to login with all your information. I plan to get started ASAP since I have a lot of homework to do over the weekend. No rush for you both though! :)

Lesson Plan 2 Discussion

Hey ladies, here is the blog post to discuss the second lesson plan we need to do that is due Sunday. For this lesson plan we have to include data collection for a specific concept from our concept map. Just like the first, each of us have to use a different concept from our map. If it is okay with you ladies, I was thinking about doing the concept of tools as mine. So I will have a data collection sheet and students will be able to collect data on the types of tools they have seen before or used before. Let me know what you guys think! Thanks! Brianna Huffman
