Week 10: Exploring Ideas and Resources for Final Project

For my final project I want to create a science lesson plan that will incorporate the use of technology. There are many ways to communicate with various technologies and Glogster is a student-friendly tool students can use to share information that has been researched. In my third grade class, my students have been learning about different habitats: deserts, oceans, grasslands, and forests. In groups I had my students do research on these different habitats in cooperative groups. Glogster is a presentation tool that will allow my students to insert pictures, text, links, video, and audio to illustrate what they learned about their unique habitats.

The great thing about this lesson is that it can be used for any grade level. I chose to use this presentation tool for a science lesson, but I could also use it for social studies, reading, writing, or math. I am excited to be able to explore this tool with all the other subjects. Just like it can be used for all core subjects, it can be tailored to any-grade level. Students can get as creative as they want. The younger the student the more graphics and less text on their Glogster; however, the older the student the more text and different features can be expected.
