June 30, 2009 Updated Unit Plan using Inspiration I would use this revised version to guide me in creating my lesson plans for the unit.

June 29, 2009 Using Ning Idea #1: I could create a closed ning website where students and parents could go to and find out what is happening in the classroom. Idea #2: Students could design their own web page and they could post their picture stories, videos, power point presentations and other class work for each other and their parents to view.

June 26, 2009 Using Photo Story Idea #1: I could create a photo story to introduce a new unit to my students. Idea #2: Students could generate a report by creating a photo story based on a field trip.

June 25, 2009 Using MS Power Point with Audio and Video Idea #1: I could create a power point presentation with audio and video to introduce a new unit to my students. Idea #2: Students could create a power point presentation on their school community as a project to illustrate different types of community.

June 24, 2009 Windows Movie Maker Idea #1: I could create a video to introduce a new unit to my students. Idea #2: Students could create a video as an assessment to show their understanding of one of the objectives in the unit “This is my community”.

June 23, 2009 Copyright Laws Idea #1: Students could create a skit to depict one of several copyright laws.

June 22, 2009 iGoogle Idea #1: I could create an iGoogle account for my class and add gadgets that would be helpful to my students such as “Ask a word” where students could type in words they do not know and hear the correct pronunciation. Idea #2: Students could create an iGoogle page with supervision form me where they could get up dates and they could add gadgets that are helpful in the different subject areas. For example, they could add “Math in a Minute” where they could practice addition facts.

June 19, 2009 Inspiration Idea #1: Students could create a web of different parts of speech. Example, they would be given the word verb and then they create a web of all the verbs that they can come up with. Idea #2: After discussing the unit “My Family” students could create their personal family tree. Idea #3: Students could create a mind map of all the factors of a given number or all the multiples of a given number.

June 17, 2009 Microsoft Publisher

Idea #1: Create three dimensional shapes. Students could create three dimensional shapes using blank templates form pages with special folding options. For my visually impaired students, I could print the pages and make the folding lines tactile so that they can navigate them.

Idea #2: Create cards. Kindergarten students could create cards for special occasions such as Mother’s Day or cards for different seasons.

Ann Goulbourne June 16, 2009 EDU 607 [|www.blurb.com] Idea #1: Create own books. Students could create their own books from a given lesson or topic. For younger students, they could create a number book or an alphabet book. [|www.picaboo.com] Idea #2: Create online picture albums. Students could create an online picture album of a project they had completed or a fieldtrip they went on. By doing it this way they could share their experience by writing something about each picture as well.
