WEBSITE AND CLASSROOM BLOG CREATION TOOLS

Name: Jocelyn Jones


Directions: Using the template below, describe how students could use a blog, wiki, or other websitecreation tool to learn required learning standards in your content area: For an A grade provide an idea that
reaches a Level of Technology Implementation of 4 or above. Remember higher levels (4-6) require that
students assume adult/professional roles; engage in higher-order thinking; and use technology
create/publish original content for their classmates and/or others beyond their school/classroom. The
learning activities and products should be engaging and meaningful to the students and to others who will
view/use/benefit from students work. Review your handouts on Engaged Learning, Authenticity, and LoTi.
Grade Level: 5th
Content Area: All areas
Technology Used (check all that apply):
Blog
Wiki
Other
Website Creation Tool (list):
Content Area/Grade/Standards/Topics Addressed: My blog consists of information about the classroom
and all areas covered. This will address all standards for 5th grade.
Brief Description of Learning Experience: What learning standards will be addressed? What will
students and teachers do? What products will students create? How will the project be introduced? How
long will it take to complete? What audience will use/care about the product(s) students are creating? How
broad is this audience? (Overview should be approximately 1-2 paragraphs).
Students and parents will have access to my online blog. This blog will have different information for
parents such as assignments, field trip dates, and updates on our classroom. On my blog, I have linked
websites such as BrainPop, PBS kids, Cool Math, and Starfall. These websites will help support students
learning in all content areas. I will actively update my blog weekly with assignments or as needed. Students
will view my blog for information about homework assignments if absent.
Students will create a wonderful learning environment which I will share with parents through the blog.
Students can post their original work which will support students creativity. This will be done throughout
the school year as we learn new things. Please view my blog for school schedule and activities.

Student Engagement/Level of Technology Implementation (LoTi): What LoTi would this lesson be and
Why? Students can reach many LoTi levels.
Students will have choice on some subjects where they can pick what topics they would like to research.
Some lessons I will teach specific content.
Importance of technology: Why is using a website-creation tool critical to the project? Could the project
be completed without this technology? What would be lost without using it? What other types of
technology, if any, are going to be used in the learning experience?
Using a web creation tool is important for communication to the parents and students. It is a common space
for everyone to receive information. Although communication is can be done without this technology, the
blog is more affective because I can post once for all parents and students to see. Also, students and parents
will know what they missed if they are absent.

Internet Safety and Student Privacy: Briefly discuss some possible issues surrounding Internet safety and
student privacy that could arise while implementing this learning experience and explain how you would
(1) minimize risks to students/yourself; (2) alleviate any fears by parents/administrators, and (3) follow
common Internet Safety/Acceptable Use Policies.
Students must use safety when operating a computer. Be sure to go to my direct site with a parent and
always remember to never post personal information or pictures on the internet.
Describe your personal learning goal for this activity. What are you trying that you have not tried
before? What do you hope to learn from this activity? How do you hope it will help students learn?
My personal learning goal is to keep all parents and students involved in the classroom and know what is
going on. I want to keep communication open between teacher, parents, and students.
Other comments about your proposed activity: I hope you enjoy the classroom blog. Please let me
know if you have any questions., comments, or concerns.
