curate a variety of resources using digital tools Students will know what a citizen is and what
to construct knowledge, produce creative artifacts makes a good citizen. They will know what laws
and make meaningful learning experiences for and rules are and why we follow them. They will

What is the student learning goal(s) for this lesson idea? 

Students will be able to demonstrate what a good citizen is and does.

Bloom’s Taxonomy Level(s):

☐ Remembering ☐ Understanding ☐ Applying ☐ Analyzing ☐ Evaluating ☒ Creating

I will promote student learning by have my students create a picture of themselves being a good
citizen after completing the lesson.

How do you plan to implement this lesson and integrate the technology? Check all that apply: 
 
☒ Teacher-led: There is no student voice and choice in the activities. Students are guided by
teacher direction and expectations. Learning activities are assigned to the
student and mostly practice based. 
    
☒ Student-Led: Students are given voice and choice in the activities. They may select the topic
of learning and/or determine the tool they will use to meet the learning goal. The
teacher facilitates the learning as the students direct their own learning processes. 
 
☐ Problem-based and/or Publishable: Students are solving problems
and completing projects to demonstrate their learning. Additionally, the projects can be shared
outside of the classroom. (Note: This objective could be reached by displaying  the project on the
school’s morning newscast, posting the project to the classroom blog, presenting it to another
class,  or publishing via an outside source.) 

Lesson idea implementation:

When beginning this lesson, I will first address my student’s goal for this lesson. We will briefly
discuss the topic of citizenship to see if anybody already knows what it is. I will then go over the web
2.0 tool, Padlet, to show my students how to navigate and use the tool. They will then grab their
laptops and begin working on the given lesson. Students will complete the activities within the lesson

and then complete the assessment on Kahoot!. This will give me access to see what students may need
additional help on the topic. To conclude this lesson, students will draw a self-portrait of themselves
being a good citizen and post it on Padlet.
Managing student learning:
Padlet should not cause a shift in behavior of student as they are still able to communicate with peers
through this tool. I will be able to see who is and is not on task by checking the Padlet and walking
around the room. This given lesson is an hour long which can be lengthy to children, so I will give my
students 1–3-minute brain breaks every 25 minutes. These mental breaks will help students to stay
focused and engaged.
Universal Design for Learning (UDL):
The learning activities within this lesson will provide students with the component of engagement of
the UDL framework. Students will be engaging within the lesson on Padelt through videos, audios,
and drawings.
Reflective Practice:
After designing this lesson idea, I believe this tool will help students build understanding in a way
they could not do with traditional tools through the ideas of content sharing and idea collaboration.
Traditional tools, such as textbooks, do not offer these ideas that Web 2.0 tools offer. In this lesson, I
look forward to seeing my students’ self-portraits of them being good citizens. Through this activity, I
will be able to see them through their eyes. This allows students to be creative and reflect on
themselves.
