Resources needed would include the following:
1. Internet access and computer
2. Access to united streaming.com (from Discovery).
3. Examples of different types of websites including .gov, .edu, .com, .org, and any others that people may feel would be helpful.
Additional Information needed would include:
1. Students with disabilities and/or accommodations (copies of IEPs and 504s)
2. Background from fellow staff members on my current students that might be helpful
3. Feedback from fellow staff members, including having them sit in on a class period or two to see the assignment/project in motion
Steps taken so far:
1. Layout of ideas and revamping of similar plan
2. Locating websites to show example of
3. Not much more, school in not currently in session
Any other ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated from fellow Walden students! Thanks in advance!

Dear Michael,
ReplyDeleteI think that you said something that a lot of teachers do not do that they should, get input from other teachers about your current students. We do this about the students who are usually the difficult ones to handle inside of the classroom, but not the students who typically are not a problem.
I would set up a bunch of websites that are both valid and not valid to test your students understanding. I am thinking of something like we had to do for our last course, 6712. This will allow for you to see where the students really are in going through websites and deciding on if they are credible / valid.
Mike,
ReplyDeleteI really like the outline format that you chose for this blog post.
I noticed that you want to utilize many websites with a variety of endings. Have you done any internet searching for these resources? Are you looking for sites on specific topics within social studies like Indian culture or websites that you can use for a variety of content areas? In addition to a simple google search, I would suggest searching with the advanced options for google. It allows you to specify the domain of the websites that you want. For example, if you higher literature on the conquistadors you would put in the key word and put .edu in the domain category.
Also, have you considered the use of virtual field trips? This is a great way for students to expand their options for creativity.
Thanks,
Richard
