After much video watching, book readings and group collaboration. Our group has now tied in the actual technology projects based on brainstorming and UDL design. It has been exciting to see how this entire unit study of animals, food chains, and ecosystems has come together. We have designed a unit that will address students of all needs from Gifted and Talented to hearing and sight impairred. Our technology projects include research, interactive websites, use of software such as Kidspiration and PIXIE. We have incorporated tools such as the MOBI and SmartBoards that are found in the classroom. We have also used Web 2.0 tools such as Glogster.edu. The concluding assessment will be a project created in groups on an assigned biome, using PhotoStory3 and then presented to the class.
This week has been exciting for me as a Technology Facilitator - I enjoy seeing how technology can make a project or unit of study come alive for our 21st century learners. When I was in the elementary school level the past six years, I would have loved to had my third grade teachers implement this project.
