All my lesson plans are for 1st graders.

Week 10 - Watch videos and post response.

The videos were very helpful in understanding the importance of using technology in the classroom. During practicum I learned that it is a lot harder than I thought it would be to implement technology inmy classroom, or with my class.I thought it was a great idea to use cameras to capture pictures of spiders then post them online an dcompare them with a class from another state. This helps the students learn how to work in groups and also makes them feel important and useful in participating on a great mount of the assignment. On the brown bear video I liked how the teacher told her students to think. I believe technology can totally help students wih their critical thinking. On the habitats video I loved how they had to use multimedia software for their presentation, this helps them with experience using technology and it helps them with the public speaking skills. And I also liked that they had to list their sources and make sure they understood copyright laws. Technology is really a great tool in a teachers and students lives, it enhances learning and so many other skills.

Classroom Technology Inventory

There are not many technology available in the classroom I am in. the teacher has her computer and that is it. But one thing I forgot to mention in my inventory is that each hall, or pod as the school calls it, has about 10 computers studets can use through out the day. The students use them as centers, to do their AR quizes, and for other activities the teachers may prepare. I completed the two surveys.

Google Tours I Watched

This are the Tours I watched:

Brittany Crowder: She did it on earthquakes, I liked the pictures and videos she used in her google earth tour.

Kristen: Landforms- Good activities and questions.

Alyssa Young: Ancient History - I liked the places she chose for her students to go to.

Science Challenge - Stellarium

Science Challenge Plan

I completed this project with Lily Bueno and Amy Dallon.

In this science challenge, my students will observe, categorize, and make inferences concerning ancient Egyptian uses of constellations. Through the use of Stellarium, they will observe the night sky, record their findings, categorize them and use the links from Stellarium to learn about the cultural significance of each constellation. From the knowledge students gain, they will make further inferences concerning each constellation's possible importance in Egyptian culture and today's. Students will use their knowledge to produce a creative project of their choice. Students will work in groups and finally present their project to the class.

Content Science, 6th grade: Standard 4, Objective 2 Describe the appearance and apparent motion of groups of stars in the night sky relative to Earth and how various cultures have understood and used them. 1. Locate and identify stars that are grouped in patterns in the night sky. 2. Identify ways people have historically grouped stars in the night sky.

Pedagogy We will specifically focus on how the ancient Egyptians identified and used stars within their society by: Observing Classifying and Inferring These strategies appropriately fit our activity because this project focuses mainly on the accumulation and analysis of information.

Technology We will use Stellarium to accomplish these purposes. This particular resource aligns with the content and pedagogy because it will allow students to view stars that they would otherwise be unable to see. It also allows them to make sense of the stars they see in a cultural context because Stellarium will portray the constellation art work, if desired, and because Stellarium provides various links to information concerning these constellations.
