Reading Reflection #3
- Discussion on what should be considered in finding “the Big Idea” for a project.
- Discussion on the digital-age skills.
- Discussion on the digital-age literacies.
- Discussion on each of the essential learning functions.
- Discussion on the prompts to developing a conceptual framework for a project.
- Discussion on how concepts in this chapter relate to your topic/project.
When finding "the Big Idea" for a project is scanning the curriculum along with the Common Core Standards and figure out what you want the students to understand. Digital age skills should have the students engaged in the subject matter and analyze, evaluate and create through pbl. Digital age literacies deal with the behavior required of accomplished people in the 21st century. This means being able to identify, understand, interpret, create, communicate, and compute using printed and written materials. The essential learning functions are learning, to make ideas visible, express ideas creatively, collaboration, project management, reflection and iteration, supported study or enrichment using open educational resources. To develop a conceptual framework for a project you must narrow down your topic and make a wiki to organize your thoughts by answering a series of questions. Concepts in this chapter helped me to figure out a way to organize my thoughts and know what to focus on when creating my lesson plan.
Cassie,
ReplyDeleteI agree that in order to find the 'Big Idea' we have to be sure to focus on not only the standards but what we want the students to learn as well. I like how you incorporated the idea of Wiki into developing the framework because it really will assist one in organizing their ideas and thoughts. This kind of ties in with how you were discussing how this chapter helped you think of new ways to organize your thoughts for your lesson plan.
Cassie, I liked how you were able to find ways to better create your lesson plan. I like also how you pulled out important characteristics to better create projects. Including identify, understand, interpret, create, communicate, and compute using printed and written materials.Also the functions that you spoke about will give our job as teachers and for our students to be cooperative.
