Rationale for NETS-T and DPI for Story Pictures Activity

Context

   In my Media and Technology class during Block II, my classmates and I created an activity called "Story Pictures" to use in a 3rd grade classroom. I made a web page as a resource for teachers to tell how to best teach Story Pictures. My address is http://www.taskstream.com/ts/barker9/StoryPictures.html

  I learned how to use a digital camera and download the pictures onto a computer. I also learned to used Adobe photo shop to edit the taken pictures.  I worked with a group to insert the pictures into a word document to create the Story Pictures activity.

Impact

When I teach, I can use this activity to integrate technology and science.

I might also have the students open this activity form the web page I created and do it on a computer.

This might be a good way to introduce this topic instead of the traditional method of lecture. It will introduce students to digital cameras and different computer programs such as Microsoft Word Document and Adobe Photo Shop.

Alignment

  • I have met competency IVA and IVC because I included questions that the teacher can ask while teaching this lesson.  I also included competencies from the NCSCOS and I made a rubric using TaskStream.
  • I met competency VIE because I gave ideas on how to teach this lesson with only 1 computer or with a limited amount of computers.
  • I have met competencies IIA and VID because I provided ideas as on how to teach Story Pictures to different ages and to various populations, such as students who have English as a second language.
  • I have met competency VB because I added a reflection to my web page after I taught this lesson.
  • I have met DPI standard 1, indicator 5 because I made a web page and designed a project called story pictures.  I can use this web page and the activities I created with it to teach my students to construct meaning about Body parts. 
  • I have met DPI standard 1, indicator 6 by emphasizing the importance of reading, writing, and literacy development.  A major part of an elementary curriculum is literacy and understanding the meaning of language.
