My group and I had a meeting tonight that was very informative! We discussed many different important elements that needed to be discussed and we are starting in the classroom next Wednesday. We have chosen to focus on the importance of Literacy in the classroom as well as the surrounding community. We are going to incorporate technology in order to promote literacy and to spread the importance around community and beyond. We intend to incorporate blogs, podcasts as well as a public service announcement to promote their final product. We are planning on going into the classroom twice a week during reading block. We have 90 minutes of work time and we will be able to work on the blog each week. Our goal is to have them do at least one podcast that the students can add to their blog and then as a final project we will be making a public service announcement. I believe that this will make the student’s learning experience authentic and meaningful. It will also help the students learn about different technologies.
My current responsibilities are to work on the blog with students each Monday with another group member. I am also responsible for the drafting the Thursday roundup. We are all responsible for coming up with ideas and working together.
Our next step is to go into the classroom and introduce our ideas to the second graders. We will see how that goes, hopefully well! We are going to ask the students for their input and revise our plans to meet their needs and wants.
