Resources:
The resources I will need in order to carry out my GAME Plan will include student access to the Discovery Education website. They will become involved in using this resource, so it is imperative for my students to understand how to access this Internet-based tool. My students will need to be shown how to use the website to obtain the information, such as the videos, to complete the assignments. As for my second goal, my students will need to be reminded how to use Photo Booth to assess their fluency. They will need to have a computer and their small group reading materials to help assess this.
Additional Information:
I will also need to make sure students are able to e-mail me their completed assignments via Discovery Education and my e-mail account. This will need to set up in advance so students are successful in submitting assignments.
Steps Taken This Far:
As of right now, my students have been working on Discovery Education to locate videos I have assigned to the class. They also have become familiar with Photo Booth by modeling it and they have begun testing one another’s fluency.
Kid's Britannica online may be another resource you may want to look at. My school has done some training on this site and it has a wealth of resources available to students.
ReplyDeleteI looked up photo booth and it seems that it is an Apple product, although I did see one thing that said there was a Windows version. Do you work with Apple products in your school and if you do, how do you compare them to Microsoft products?
I am not familar with Photo Booth. What exactly would the students do using this software? The Discovery website sounds interesting. Is it science related?
ReplyDeleteI will have to try Kid's Britannica. It sounds like something I could integrate into my curriculum. Photo Booth is an Apple product, but our instructor said there was a version for Microsoft.
ReplyDeleteMy students are involved in using Photo Booth to help practice their fluency. This software records their image, as well as their voice. Then, they are able to play it back to listen for errors and watch their eye movements. Discovery Education is a website that is Science and Social Studies related. It has a multitude of videos, images, assignment building capabilities and many other ways to get students involved in research on the Internet.
Wendi,
ReplyDeleteHow much class time per week do you plan on spending on your GAME plan? Do your students have computer/internet access away from your school site?

Great choice on using Discovery Education. They make such great quality resources.
ReplyDeleteA free option I can sometimes turn to is iTunes U. There are good videos and animations posted there.
Sounds like Photo Booth is a great website. Could I use it with my preschoolers or is it geared towards children older than 4?
