= Module 3 Plan Ahead for Module 4 Pair & Share = //Please respond to the following questions. Be sure to attach your unit plan to your discussion to provide your partners context for feedback. // Students with the assistance of an adult will collaborate in small groups to web internet sites that are revelant to butterflies(pasting pictures, using photo story 3.) By communicating students will be aware of another means of communication using the internet by viewing sites on butterflies. The use of the internet will help students to develop 21st century and higher-order thinking skills by being able to communicate with other peers, researching the subject (butterflies) and webbing the sites to view. Students will be able to view sites they can use such as games related to the objectives/standards when doing small groups/workstations. Feed back on my unit plan thus far would be appreciated and more ideas on using the internet/technology in kdg. would be very helpful.
 * 1) How will you incorporate the use of the Internet in your unit for research, collaboration, and communication?
 * 1) How will the use of the Internet help students develop 21st century and higher-order thinking skills?
 * 1) What feedback or additional ideas are you looking for during this time?

VH: M4 Plan Ahead-The student sample I have selected to use was Photo Story 3 thinking of the skill level for Kindergartners. Students will be able to use a digital camera by taking pictures of the life cycle of a butterfly in the classroom during small group writing and observation. The pictures will then be added to the photo story 3 tool. Students will be able to put the pictures in sequence, add text/simple sentences dictated while the teacher/adult types, music/sound/voice of the student will be included. By using this type of tool students will address K standards/objectives, address 21st century skills, use a project appoach with technology and meet the needs of visual/ELL learners using photos.

= Module 5 Plan Ahead for Module 6 Pair & Share = During this activity, you **prepare your assessment** and **student sample** to share with your small group during the Pair and Share activity of Module 6. Refer to your Notebook for the review of your assessment and student sample in Activity 3. Revise your student sample and assessment, if needed, making sure that both the assessment and sample align. Request any feedback you would like and record your thoughts about how your assessment plan and the assessments you have created so far address the following traits from the Portfolio Rubric(see the //Files// page, "Portfolio_Rubric") o Address standards and objectives o Are student-centered o Are varied and ongoing Attach or link your student sample, assessment, and Unit Plan
 * Assessment strategies:

Give Feedback in the Discussion Tab on your partner'(s') page(s). The Discussion Tab is at the top. Label your thread "Feedback: M6 P&S - Your Name" I would like feedback on my Photo Story 3 presentation specifically on the areas that can be refined or enhance student learning. How do you feel this type of project Kindergartners would benefit from? I want you to realize that this type of project was very new to me, technology is coming our way!!!!






 * VQ: Vickie, I am unable to open the photostory sample. You may have to upload it to teachtube and then link it - or you can show us from your computer (your partner and/or I can look at it in the morning to give you feedback and then during the showcase, we can connect your laptop to the projector - not a problem) **

There is not a requirement to post your unit plan at the end of Module 6
