My LINK to my W4 RILS (Relevant Innovative Learning Scenarios Video)
My target audience is elementary age students, and their
parents by using technology. Materials will be extensive,
ipads, ipods, smart board, document camera, projector, clickers, cameras, h d
video flip cameras, mac book pro, adobe photoshop, iMovie, and wifi. The app is
called Stick Pick, and it goes far beyond the old fashioned can of sticks. I
learned about this app from a peer on my Full Sail University graduate studies
team Cynthia Mandanski). When a teacher makes a stick for a student, she can
assign the appropriate level of Bloom's questioning for the student's ability.
When the teacher taps or shakes the can, a name randomly is chosen. When the
student's name is selected, there are appropriate Bloom's question starters
ready to go. Taking it even further, the teacher can record to what level the
student answered the question (1-5). The following rubric is used in Stick Pick
to apply appropriate objectives:
Bloom's & Bloom’s Revised:
After selecting “correct,” “incorrect,” or “opinion,” a 5-point "Critical
Thinking Rubric" will appear on the screen. Rate the student’s response
from 0-5. The choices are:
0= No Response;
1= Shows No Understanding;
2 = Partial Understanding;
3 = Adequate Understanding;
4 = Clear & Accurate;
5 = Insightful & Confident
This can be useful
for ongoing, formative assessments. At the end of each day, the teacher has the
ability to search the student rosters to determine how many questions each
student answered, and how well each student answered. This information is
valuable for data-driven instruction.
The app itself is fun
to use. The graphics are bright and clear. The sound effects make it really
come to life. It is simple and straightforward. Teachers even have the option
to randomly OR intentionally draw a student's stick from the can. I have this
app downloaded on my iPhone, and the stick can be drawn with a swipe, tap, or
shake. It is exciting for the kids to see. After the question is answered, the
teacher can place the stick back in the can to use again, or can be placed in
the "used" can. You have to use tthis app on a apple product, (ipad, iphone, ipod). It will not run on a mac book.

is my web 2.0 tool
I plan on using this
application with my elementary age students in small groups of 3rd,
4th, and 5th grade students learning to debate. I have
created a thematic unit based on new energy resources of power. Solar power,
wind power, and bio diverse power are what the students are going to debate.
The following video will give you a taste of multiple age groups supporting
each other through this process. The students discuss, compliment, and follow
through with social networking using the school’s face book site, and classroom
wiki pages. Further reflection is shown by students using www.animoto.com via i Movie to compliment and explain what they have learned
using videography. Each student will find stock photography images to help
develop their personal vision concerning renewable energy resources.
