8.4:Mini Team Assignment
For this exercise you will need to find a buddy from class. If you are unable to find one, let me know I will find one for you or will make other arrangements.
Scenario. You have been asked to cover Ms. Alwaysout's class tomorrow (and possibly the next couple of days) with a co-worker. Ms. Alwaysout teaches middle school math (6th grade). The topic is fractions - finding a least common denominator (LCD) to enable students to add fractions.
Since both of you are very competent teachers and both also very tech savvy, your principal has asked you to 1. find a lesson plan from the 1000's that are available online to deliver tomorrow. Additionally, to help organize the information, teachers have been asked to always 2. accompany their lesson plans with some type of visual display/graphic organizer of the topic. As per the local school system initiative, you also need to have 3. a short assessment to determine if the students "understand" the lesson plan you deliver, and 4. a rubric to "measure" the assessment. All of these items, lesson plan, graphic organizer, assessment (assessment can be a worksheet/quiz/homework sheet etc…), and rubric for grading, can be made electronically with teacher generator "aids".
First, find a class buddy to team up with and then using the electronic aids/generators found in your reading resources create and attach the 4 items you made, LISTING THE generator and the URL of the tool that you utilized for each. Make sure you list who your team member is when you post/send your four attachments. Last, comment on how easy or hard it was to both use and find appropriate generators. Do you think these would be helpful to the classroom teacher? Why or why not? Next week we will compare the activities each team has created. |
