This week we were given the assignment to add a web 2.0 tool to our learning environment to create a Relevant and Innovative Learning Scenario. You could add the tool to an existing lesson plan or create a new one.
I have decided to add Glogster to one of my upcoming units. We are studying plant and animal adaptations and I thought that having them incorporate a Glogster interactive poster would be a great addition to this unit. Each student will get their own plant or animal to study during the week, create a Glogster product, and then share their product at the end of the mini unit. I should mention that I teach 5th grade Science.
I showed the students the site yesterday and they LOVED it! They were so excited to be able to get on the computer and start creating. I know that I am going to get the quality projects I desire from most of my students now, judging by their motivation.
I can't wait to see the final products! I haven't seen my students so excited and motivated for a project in quite some time.
Check back later in the week for my "final product" on the camel and for updates about how my students are enjoying their experience.
