Brochure-How animals survive in different environments

UEN State :

Standard 4
Life Science. Students will gain an understanding of Life Science through the study of changes in organisms over time and the nature of living things. Objective 1:Compare and contrast the characteristics of living things in different habitats.

UEN EdTech:

Standard 5
Use technology tools (e.g., multimedia authoring, presentation, web tools, digital cameras, scanners) for individual and collaborative writing, communication, and publishing activities to create knowledge products for audiences inside and outside the classroom. (3, 4)

ISTE:

Creative communicator: i communicate effectively and express myself  creativity using different tools styles formats and digital media.

Reflection: This project was very fun to do. The projects is assigns to every student individually each  student chooses an animal and researches their, habitat, the food the eat, their size, and some interesting facts. Then during class each student will present their brochure. Doing this will help students to learn and understand every animals has a different habitat and different way of living and eating. The pros of this are that the students teach each other, they teach themselves, and they learn how to use technology and learn researching capabilities. The Cons are the students could get inaccurate information, make up information or chose to not do the project correctly. Other than that i believe that the protect does a very good job of teaching the students how to use technology, how to teach themselves, and others. I will use this in my classroom to help students learn about how animals change and grow in different environments, which follows the 4th Utah uen state standard

ISTE- Innovative designer- I solve problems by creating new and imaginative solutions using a variety of digital tools


2nd Grade Science Standard 8:technology resources (e.g., calculators, data collection probes, videos, educational software) for problem-solving, self-directed learning, and extended learning activities. (5, 6)

 

Reflection: I used google from to make a quiz based off of a video that i had student watch at home for a homework assignment. They were assigned to watch the video as many times as the needed to remember the information. using google docs was very helpful to me as a teacher, it made the grading super easy, I was able to see which students watched the video, and it will make it easier for me as a teacher in future years. Instead of having to go to the copy center every year, i can pull the video and the doc up on my blog very easily.  The cons of this might be that students may not have accesses to technology or not have the knowledge on how to use it. I can fix this by teaching the students and check with those who don't have access and give them an alternate way to complete the assignment.Using Google docs saved me plenty of time now and will in the future  

Pinterest Project-2nd Grade Science Planets

I have created a pinterest board for the 2nd Standard for science. In My board I have ideas that I would like to incorporate into my classroom. The pin that I am most exited to try is the "solar system rap" video. Its an animated video of the planets in the solar system telling about themselves and there position, size, and color. I think that this will be enjoyable for the students. Im really excited to use this in the future. It makes learning fun and easy. I  really liked using pinterest, that is how i found that video. Its full of great ideas and very easy to find projects and assignments that correlate with the standard needed. The only con of pinterest is sometimes the links dont work or the standards that they say they are, are incorrect. so you have to do your research before you incorporate it into your lesson plan.
