EIPT+3043+Projects

The projects page is a requirement for wiki submission #2. You will post your projects for your SMART Board assignment, the podcast along with documents and links for that assignment, your iMovie, and Inspiration/Kidspiration project. Be sure to clearly describe each assignment and include citations as necessary for the music you used, ideas borrowed (SMART project), etc.

I would start off this page with a brief explanation of how this page will be used to highlight the projects you have completed in EIPT 3043 and then use the line tool to separate each section. Be sure to use clear formatting throughout the page to make it easy for the viewer to understand what everything is. For example:

===This EIPT Projects page was created for a class I took at the University of Oklahoma. Each of the projects below were created individually or in collaboration with classmates from that course. The projects display the diversity of the technology skills I have learned and am excited to integrate into my teaching and use with students.===

SMART Notebook/Board Project
The task for this project was to work in collaboration with a classmate to create four SMART Notebook activities that could be used with student participation to teach a concept. I worked with Jen Forehand to create this file. We focused on the following Oklahoma Common Core Math Standard for 3rd grade students when learning about fractions:
 * 3.NF.2.Understand a fraction as a number on the number line; represent fractions on a number line diagram.
 * Represent a fraction 1///b// on a number line diagram by defining the interval from 0 to 1 as the whole and partitioning it into //b// equal parts. Recognize that each part has size 1///b// and that the endpoint of the part based at 0 locates the number 1///b// on the number line.
 * Represent a fraction //a/////b// on a number line diagram by marking off a lengths 1///b// from 0. Recognize that the resulting interval has size //a/////b// and that its endpoint locates the number //a/////b// on the number line.

Please feel free to view the file or edit it and use it for your own class. I have included the .notebook file and the same file as a .pdf in case you don't have SMART Notebook software.



Podcast Project Using Audacity
For the podcast project I worked with Melanie Wilkinson, elementary counselor, and Chris Kalinski, multimedia teacher, to create an enrichment activity for students and parents that was delivered in the form of a podcast. We used Audacity to create the podcast and www.freeplaymusic.com for the source of music. This podcast is made for 6th students and their parent(s)/guardian to learn about safe social networking. It addresses the ISTE standard about digital citizenship:

5. Digital Citizenship Students understand human, cultural, and societal issues related to technology and practice legal and ethical behavior. a. Advocate and practice safe, legal, and responsible use of information and technology b. Exhibit a positive attitude toward using technology that supports collaboration, learning, and productivity c. Demonstrate personal responsibility for lifelong learning d. Exhibit leadership for digital citizenship

Now that you have listened to the podcast try doing the activity described together (parent and student). Create a safe list of sites you are allowed to visit on the Internet during your 20 minute computer time each day and brainstorm a list of activities that you can enjoy without power. Post this list at home by the computer or on the refrigerator so that it will always be close by. Next time your power goes out you won't have to panic like Charlie McButton because you will already have a list of lots of fun things to keep you entertained!
 * Activity**

Here a favorite website of the class to get you started on your list of agreed on websites: It's a Mad Lib World! http://www.itsamadlibsworld.com/ This site is lots of fun because you get to make up funny stories. Don't worry parents...you will think it is great too because it is an excellent way for kids to practice parts of speech like nouns, verbs, adjectives, etc. Try doing one together for a quick activity and laugh.

The book read in the podcast was: __When Charlie McButton Lost Power__ by Suzanne Collins. This would be a great book to check out and read at home so you can see the funny illustrations! It is available at the school library and also at the Norman Public Library. Click on the book below to see the book and a description at Amazon.com.
