Web+2.0+Tools

This pages consists of different projects and assignments I have completed using different web 2.0 tools


 * Link to online survey:**


 * This is a survey I created with a variety of questions and different forms of asking the questions. This will be useful in the classroom in order to find out student interests. This will help the teacher direct their lessons in a certain to pertain to students. Students will benefit from this because they can express their opininos and see the results of the class. This can be referenced to the ISTE standard of creativity and innovation because studenets are working with unique technology tools to express what they think.
 * Chart made from online survey:** (follow link)
 * This is the data I retrieved after having my survey completed by ten individuals. This data has both quanitative data as well as graphs to showcase the results I got. I will use this in the classroom to display results from different surveys we take as a classroom. Students will benefit from this because they will be able to view the results and make comparisons with the data. This can be referenced to the ISTE Net-S standard of communication and collaboration because this is a good way to communicate ideas and information to one another.

 * Rubric:** (follow link)


 * This is a rubric for the digital story that we had to complete. There are different components one must follow and the scores for each topic range from 5 to 1 with 5 being the greatest. I will use this skill to showcase the students how they will be assessed and what items to include in their assignment. This will be beneficial to the students because it allows them to see how they are going to be graded and to see what components they should include in their work. This can also be referenced to the standard of communication and collaboration because this is a very effective tool for teachers to use to communicate the grading scale to the students.


 * Graphic Orgainzer using bubbl.us:**
 * This is a bubble chart displaying the different uses one can have with digital tools. It displays different examples of digital writing as well as how it could be important to a student. Students will benefit from using this tool because it allows them to map out all their ideas and make connections to different ones. This can be connected to the ISTE standard of critical thinking and problem sovling beause students collect date and make comparisons and analyze data.


 * Lesson Plan using Web 2.0 tool:**

Steve Nicklas Technology for Teachers Web2.0 Lesson Plan April 27, 2011


 * For this lesson I will be using the website kerpoof.com and/or makebeliefscomix.com. The objective of this lesson is for the students to understand the three environmental R’s which are: reduce, recycle, and reuse and how reducing waste has an impact on the environment.


 * This lesson can be applicable for grades 2-5 with the amount of varying depending on what grade you are teaching.


 * This lesson will take roughly an hour a day for two days depending on how much information you will teach the students. On the first day the students will learn about the meanings of the three R’s. On the second day the students will work to create posters or a comic explaining on how reduce waste and improve the environment.


 * For this lesson the students will learn the meanings of the three R’s which are reduce, reuse, and recycle. They will have class discussions on how to improve waste as well as the teacher passing on valuable information. The students will then use Web 2.0 tools on kerpoof.com to create pictures and flyers about how to reduce waste in their neighborhood. The students can also use makebeliefcomix.com to create a comic teaching someone how to reduce waste in the environment.


 * The student’s will be assessed based on the content they include on their fly/comic so the teacher can see if they understand the meaning of the words they used. Neatness over the flyer/comic will also be taken into consideration as well as grammar rules.


 * I chose to use these Web 2.0 tools because it gives the students a lot of options to work with and allowed them to use their creatively and imagination to create unique pictures and flyers and/or comics.

Websites: This is a lesson plan I created using two different web 2.0 tools. This lesson is very interactive for the students. The web 2.0 tools provide a unique way for the students to learn; it makes it very exciting and fun. Students will benefit from this because it creates a fun interactive way for students to learn and allows them to be engaged in activity. This can be referenced to the creativity and innovation standard because by using web 2.0 tools you are generating new idea and use different models to express ideas which is beneficial to student growth.
