Describe
how
you
would
use
the
Online
Project/Collaboration
Site/Publishing
Opportunity
in
your
classroom:
I
would
plan
to
use
Journey
North
as
a
website
to
chose
a
lesson
from.
Prior,
I
would
have
taught
a
lesson
on
the
topic
of
Earthworms.
Students
will
become
more
knowledgeable
on
the
topic
and
be
able
to
discuss
their
thoughts
about
animals
and
earthworms.
What
technologies
would
be
required
to
implement
this
proposed
learning
activity
in
a
classroom?
Technology
that
would
be
required
would
be
computer
or
tablet.
Describe
how
the
following
features
are
addressed
in
this
learning
experience
(note:
all
of
them
may
not
be
addressed
in
the
project,
but
most
should
be
if
you
are
reaching
a
high
LoTi
Level.):
a. Collaboration
with
peers,
near-‐peers,
mentors
outside
their
classroom
and
often
beyond
their
school:
There
is
a
function
on
Journey
North
that
allows
the
students
to
collaborate
with
one
another.
b. Student-‐centered
learning
and
knowledge
creation
(collecting
original
data
and
or
producing
original
products
as
a
result
of
engaging
in
the
project):
Students
will
collect
data
using
Journey
North
and
put
it
in
a
log
to
report
later.
c. Higher-‐order
thinking:
Students
are
constantly
using
higher-‐order
thinking
because
it
forces
them
to
ask
questions
and
truly
analyze
the
lesson
for
themselves.
d. Students
publishing
their
original
work
to
others
who
will
use/care
about
their
product:
Journey
North
does
allow
students
to
publish
their
work
for
others
to
view.

What

best
describes
this
learning
activity
and
Why?
Level
2:
Exploration,
because
students
are
exploring
this
website
to
learn
more
about
the
particular
subject
apart
of
the
lesson.
How
could
you
implement
this
proposed
learning
experience
and
still
comply
with
your
district’s
Internet
Safety
and
Student
Privacy
policies?
I
would
first
notify
any
higher
workers
such
as
administrators
and
parents
about
the
project.
I
would
also
educate
students
on
how
to
practice
good
online
safety.
