LESSON IDEA: WEBSITE-CREATION TOOLS Name: Tasheena Burch Directions: Using the template below, describe how students

could use a blog, wiki, or other website-creation tool to learn required learning standards in your content area: For an A grade provide an idea that reaches a Level of Technology Implementation of 4 or above. Remember higher levels (4-6) require that students assume adult/professional roles; engage in higher-order thinking; and use technology create/publish original content for their classmates and/or others beyond their school/classroom. The learning activities and products should be engaging and meaningful to the students and to others who will view/use/benefit from students work. Review your handouts on Engaged Learning, Authenticity, and LoTi. Grade Level: 5 Content Area: Language Arts Content Standards Addressed (See https://www.georgiastandards.org/standards/Pages/BrowseStandards/GPS_by_Grade_Level_K8.aspx ELACC5RL2
Key Ideas and Details : Determine a theme of a story, drama, or Determine a theme of a story, drama, or poem from details in the text, including how characters in a story or drama respond to challenges or how the speaker in a poem reflects upon a topic; summarize the text.

ISTE Student Technology Standards Addressed NETS-S 6A: Technology Operations and Concepts - Understand and use technology systems. Technology Used (check all that apply): X Blog Wiki Other Website Creation Tool (list): Brief Description of Learning Experience: What learning standards will be addressed? What will students and teachers do? What products will students create? How will the project be introduced? How long will it take to complete? What audience will use/care about the product(s) students are creating? How broad is this audience? The teacher will be of guidance for the student on how to access and create a blog. The student will put themselves in Ann Franks shoes and make a journal out of their blog on how they feel and what they think about what Ann Frank had to go through. How would they have handled the situation? This project would take up some time. I would probably have them keep a written journal throughout reading the book so that their blogs would be the final draft. Indicators of Engaged Learning Addressed: Culturally responsive to how one would feel in Ann Franks position. Blooms Level of Critical Thinking: Remembering Understanding

Importance of technology: Why is using a website-creation tool critical to the project? Could the project be completed without this technology? What would be lost without using it? What other types of technology, if any, are going to be used in the learning experience? Its critical that this project be done to reach an engaging moment within this particular lesson. This project could be completed as a writing journal instead but would not grasp as much enthusiasm from the students. Setting up a blog would be the only technology used in this learn exercise. Inspiration (optional): If you used existing example as a model for your project (whether in part or whole), include the URL(s) so we can visit. Explain what concepts you borrowed from others. Internet Safety and Student Privacy: Briefly discuss some possible issues surrounding Internet safety and student privacy that could arise while implementing this learning experience and explain how you would (1) minimize risks to students/yourself; (2) alleviate any fears by parents/administrators, and (3) follow common Internet Safety/Acceptable Use Policies. To minimize issues this blog would only be viewed by the teacher. There will be no pictures or names of the students on any of the blog pages. III would keep parents informed on internet usage.
