Hey Girls!
Ashley-Thank you so much for all of the directions!! They were really helpful! I worked a lot on the website tonight. I added a link for our blog and added the image of our final concept map. For myself, I added my digtial story and lesson plans. I still need to do an original lesson.
As a group, we still need to add our compiled podcast and the GLCEs that our website includes. Originally I thought that the GLCEs were what the lessons were, but really it needs to be what GLCEs the actual WEBSITE covers. ie: what the students would learn/accomplish by reviewing our website.
Let me know what you guys are thinking. I'll be working more on it tomorrow evening.
Thanks
Courtney
Hey Girls! I am so excited we are getting closer to the end, I am sure you guys are too! The website is starting to look really good! I have a few questions to run by both of you..just a couple things I was confused by...first thing is the podcast, I know we are suppose to put all three of ours together, but then were in the website should we put it in order for it to "flow properly"? I wasn't sure if there was a specific spot that I missed in the directions or if we were just suppose to tie it in somewhere. Secondly, I am still kinda confused on the GLCE'S..I also, originally thought they were on the lesson plans instead of the actual website..it just doesn't really make sense to me that they would be on the website, since the website is geared more towards teachers and how to go about teaching lessons and or different ideas that we have covered. At least that's what I get out of it, maybe I am missing something, but it just seems a little odd to me. Obviously, I want to do what is required of us, and I am not trying to argue the direction, I was just a little lost:)Let me know. Thanks
ReplyDeleteI think the GLCEs and standards are supposed to describe what areas we cover in the expectations for the grade that we are aiming to teach. Which reminds me, we need to come up with a targeted grade level that we will need to mention on the main page of the web site. What grades did you use for your lesson plans?
ReplyDeleteAnd I haven't looked into the podcast details yet because I was focused on attaching everything else, so I will see what I can figure out!
The website is looking great!
For further clarification, a standard we would use for our website (if we were aiming to teach first graders) would be "Describe the benefits of eating healthy snacks" We would just have to cover the topics that is used for each lesson plan, digital story, etc. (At least this is what I think we need to do when she is referring to creating standards for the entire website.)
ReplyDeleteOK, it is making more sense now- thanks for clearing that up:)As for coming up with a targeted grade level, both of my lesson plans focus on early elementary(K-2), but if you guys wanted to bump it up to 3rd grade I think that would still be fine, just let me know, and I will switch my "original" plan that I am still working on to a higher grade. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteHow about we do first grade? One of my lessons was for first, but the other was for fourth. I think that fist would be good to use for the entire project because it seems like the majority of our materials are targeted for early elementary. What do you think?
ReplyDeleteI added the ISTE standards to the website since they don't apply to a specific grade level. Feel free to add any others that I missed! Once we decide on a grade, then we can do the GLCEs!
ReplyDeleteI was thinking first grade too! I think that works great with the information/ideas we have. What do you think Courtney, is that OK with you? Saw the standards you added Ashley, they look great so far! I think we need a image on that page too, but we can always add something small once we have created all of our standards.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I was going to change the font size on the "community" page. I'm pretty sure I read in the rubric, that all the front must be the same size or we will miss out on points? I could be wrong, I will double check it before changing it.
