Annotation

a.) Creators/ Authors of the Media project: Heidi Bennett

b.) Identify  Grade(s) 4th Grade

c.) Subject Matter. Does integration of subject matter take place? What is (are) the subject matter(s)?

If I was to introduce this program to my class, I would have the students write about readings, class work, in class experiences, homework help, observations, and trips. I could use the blogs for so many other uses in the classroom, and I could incorporate every subject in the blogs.

d.) List one or two goals/ object for  this project?

Students will be able to practice their writing skills and use of proper sentences. They will write blogs about things they observe, in other words they put what they see on the paper. This is an important skill for children to practice. They will also need to write about readings, and this will let the teacher know if the student read the chapter or not.

e.) In what ways do you foresee could this object facilitate kids learning in your classroom?

Students will be able to view other bolgs of their classmates, and this encourages the student to communicate with one another. It also gives children the opportunity to ask the teacher any outside questions about what happened at school, or a question about their homework.

f.) The link to product(s) (eg. The URL for voice thread or the URL for imovie on youtube) if any? http://block1edu315.blogspot.com/

g.) What kind of file (docx, pdf,wmv,mp3,mp4)  is the product and where to download the plug in?  

There are no plug- ins for this project.
NY- New York State Standards
Subject: Mathematics, Science, and Technology (1996, 2005 Math update)
Learning Standard 5 : Technology
Students will apply technological knowledge and skills to design, construct, use, and evaluate products and systems to satisfy human and environmental needs.
Level: Elementary
Key Idea: Engineering Design 1:
Engineering design is an iterative process involving modeling and optimization used to develop technological solutions to problems within given constraints.
Read a story called Humpty’s Big Day wherein the readers visit the place where Humpty Dumpty had his accident, and are asked to design and model a way to get to the top of the wall and down again safely.
Generate and draw ideas for a space station that includes a pleasant living and working environment.
Design and model footwear that they could use to walk on a cold, sandy surface.
Performance Indicator:
Discuss how best to test the solution; perform the test under teacher supervision; record and portray results through numerical and graphic means; discuss orally why things worked or didn’t work; and summarize results in writing, suggesting ways to make the solution better.
Key Idea: Impacts of Technology 6:
Technology can have positive and negative impacts on individuals, society, and the environment and humans have the capability and responsibility to constrain or promote technological development.
Handmake an item and then participate in a line production experience where a quantity of the item is mass produced; compare the benefits and disadvantages of mass production and craft production.
Describe through example, how familiar technologies (including computers) can have positive and negative impacts on the environment and on the way people live and work.
Identify the pros and cons of several possible packaging materials for a student-made product.
Performance Indicator:
Describe how technology can have positive and negative effects on the environment and on the way people live and work.
