I love Amelia’s problem. She chose erosion and created an amazing lesson on how we can work through things to stop erosion. This can easily be incorporated for younger children. Elementary does science, so using her lesson in science would be helpful.

# data[].attributes.body
The activity that allows students to find their own digital source and find out if it’s credible is a great skill for students to have, particularly in history!

# data[].attributes.body
The impact we have on our environment is huge and it has only gotten bigger throughout the years. This is definitely a big topic I will be discussing in class.

# data[].attributes.body
I like how Amelia is incorporating “storymaps”. This allows students to get into groups and create a presentation that outlines the problem and their solution to it. This is a great way for them to show their understanding.

# data[].attributes.body
By utilizing a presentation it allows students to come together and work on trying to come up with ways to fix the problem. It also allows students to be creative.

# data[].attributes.body
meghan had her students come up with advocacy campaigns about the Charleston Horse Carriage tours. This is a cool way to have students display what they learned and come up with their own visuals and messages about it

# data[].attributes.body
Caroline had her Authentic Assessment be an activity where they make their own software/online game. She provided a website that they would use. I thought it was an interesting idea to to this type of activity. It brings out their creativity and knowledge of tech. This activity also helps to verify understanding of the topic.

# data[].attributes.body
I really liked how Abby talked about the problems with littering and shows us ways to address this problem and find solutions.

Malayna created an assessment that let students collaborate in groups allowing them to work together and present their solutions.

# data[].attributes.body
Students are able to collect their own data and present it using technology. They are able to learn about the subject and then present their ideas using technology

# data[].attributes.body
Mia’s authentic assessment asked students to use camera footage to collect data and make conclusions. She asks them to collaborate with older students to help with editing and making scripts. I really like the use of older kids because it’s peer collaboration. I could see myself doing this in my classroom when my kindergartners are faced with a difficult task that needs extra guidance.

# data[].attributes.body
Solving the housing crisis at COFC is a great way to teach advocacy and how to research the social environment before they go to university

# data[].attributes.body
Students creating a visual representation of a city to make housing affordable is fun and a difficult task. Then sharing what they found is a great idea.

# data[].attributes.body
I really liked the topic of microplastics. Its something that is so relevant as we live on the coast and the things that we do to our trash directly impacts the oceans. Having students explore the garbage patches virtually or actually go to a beach clean up would be inpactful

# data[].attributes.body
Malaynas presentation focused on basic food necessities that we need to live a healthy life. It can be used in the classroom to teach students about nutrition and help they come up with a possible solution to live a healthy life

# data[].attributes.body
Caroline’s problem about homelessness was very engaging and I would use it in my future classroom because it happens all over the place not just charleston

# data[].attributes.body
Aidan produced a lesson allowing his students to conduct research in groups on micro plastics. Allowing students to work with one another to brainstorm or research is a great way to incorporate collaboration in my future classroom.

The erosion of the Southeastern coastline is something that is very important, especially because Charleston is involved in this problem right now. It is important that we try to find solutions so we can keep our coast!

# data[].attributes.body
Olivia’s authentic assessment is great and the information the students receive is shown through their presentation post case study. Housing crisis is a severely interesting and important topic as it affects everyone in surrounding areas.

# data[].attributes.body
Meaningful integration of tech can be seen in activities like calling and discussing with the people in charge of the subject the kids are researching

# data[].attributes.body
An assessment using a graphic organizer. Filling out information as the presentation continues. This is to ensure that there is no false information.

# data[].attributes.body
I like how Aidan implements research in his lesson. After the students get a good understanding of the problem, they will go into doing their own research. This allows them to bring ideas to the class that others may have not known about. This is something I will definitely be doing in my own classroom!

# data[].attributes.body
Meghan had a class discussion activity for the formative assessment. This activity allowed them to share ideas, ask questions, and broaden their prescriptive. The students will evaluate each other and offer constructive criticism.

# data[].attributes.body
Allowing students to use different technology that speaks to them, they are able to have a unique voice

Abby provided a great authentic problem about littering! This is a very big issue in South Carolina and the world as whole. This would be a good problem to include in a science class!

# data[].attributes.body
I really liked caroline’s assessment. The idea to create a simulation game online is very intriguing but also can be very beneficial for students by giving them a better understanding of what the homeless may go through.

# data[].attributes.body
Brianna has her students participate in peer review that has them evaluating each other work and giving each other feedback

# data[].attributes.body
One of the presentations I looked at had their students collaborating with an older classroom for a more advanced part of their project. I like this ideas for younger students because it allows them to collaborate with others and get help producing the final project that they want to achieve.

# data[].attributes.body
I liked Adrianna’s authentic assessment because she shows us rather than told us how to solve the food insecurity in the US.

# data[].attributes.body
I really liked how AJ and Allie had their students take an ecological footprint quiz before beginning their lessons. This made their impact on the environment very real for them. I like the idea of finding online quizzes like that that put the learning into perspective for the kids

# data[].attributes.body
in stephanie’s climate change presentation the students have the choice of which presentation platform they want. they can choose google slides, prezi, canva, or more to demonstrate their information

# data[].attributes.body
Food insecurity. It’s not something that you would think to teach in your classroom but it is super important.

# data[].attributes.body
Students will collaborate in groups to design advocacy campaigns aimed to promote working conditions for animals.

# data[].attributes.body
Students creating models is a great way to see if they understand the content. Plus they can show off their work as well.

# data[].attributes.body
I love how in Khadija’s ALE she allows students to have a say in what media they want to analyze. Students are able to pick from either a classic novel, a tv show, an album, etc.

# data[].attributes.body
Olivia gave her students a variety if choices in how they could present their findings including a video, presentation in person, slideshow, or podcast. This makes students feel involved in the design for their learning

# data[].attributes.body
Amelia’s authentic assessment is really cool to me! I love that she will share her students work the local government. This would be a great idea to incorporate in a future history class and show the important of using our voice in government

# data[].attributes.body
Creating simulations allows students to work together effectively and meaningfully.

# data[].attributes.body
Malayna allowed her students to have choice in her lesson. She provided various options for them to choose a theme for their presentations. Choice is good because students feel they have a voice rather than being told directly what to do.

# data[].attributes.body
Creating a campaign is a unique authentic assessment and is really good at gauging how much each student will put in effort. It also gives students a unique way to apply what they are learning

# data[].attributes.body
Fully integrating technology into the classroom is to have a perfect balance in class. By ensuring students know how to utilize tech responsibly. By looking at how microplastics affect the enviorment and the food web students can use technology to find resources on how to fix this topic or issue.

# data[].attributes.body
By allowing students to communicate with experts, their questions can be answered on the spot.

# data[].attributes.body
In Meghan’s projects she integrates technology in a meaningful way through ISTE standards of 1.2 (digital citizen) 1.6 (creative communicator) and 1.7 (global collaboration). These are all useful when concocting science and health education

# data[].attributes.body
I think Caroline’s problem on homelessness is a very unique topic. And this is a problem that many may not ever experience or completely understand what goes on. Homelessness can be a tough topic to teach But Caroline did a great job! Having the students do a simulation to undergo the challenges these people face.

# data[].attributes.body
Olivia gave ample ways for her students ti collaborate and share thileir work. She mentions zoom, canva, and padlet

# data[].attributes.body
Abby has students create infographics on canva to share the information they learn about littering, and she has her students whose which community members will be on a zoom call

# data[].attributes.body
I really like Mia’s opportunity for collaboration by taking the students to an adoption fair. This is a good way to get the students hands on with the idea vs in a classroom. I will try to do little trips with my students to show them rather than just show them what we are discussing

# data[].attributes.body
mean fully integrating technology into the classroom means providing the students with informative ways to use technology. this can be done through researching with technology and then using this info to have the students present what they learned. also it can be used to teach real world problems and have students research to come up with possible solutions

# data[].attributes.body
Integrating technology is impactful in many aspects but the most significant in my opinion is the ability to reach a larger audience. From my viewing of the projects, I learned that by using technologies students can share their findings with not just their class but with the school, the community, and well beyond!

# data[].attributes.body
i love that meghan chose the issue of horse labor with the carriages.

# data[].attributes.body
For Mackenzie and Dakotas authentic problem on Day 7 the students would go into Charleston and see first hand all what they have been researching on. From the information gathered they will discuss solutions that could help the authentic problem. I thought it was a good idea to have the students see first hand what they’ve been researching and then work together to discuss

# data[].attributes.body
The ecological footprint quiz allows to make learning personal for students. This tech allows us to understand how much they impact the environment.

# data[].attributes.body
Caroline choose to do an online game software for her authentic assessment. I think this could be beneficial for students to better understand what being homeless might be like. Simulation could be helpful for various other topics as well.

# data[].attributes.body
Mia's assessment is very unique in the fact that she is having the students hold an adoption event at an animal shelter.

# data[].attributes.body
In Stephanie’s project she has the great idea of having students form groups but in each group every student has their own individual role. I love this idea because it allows for collaborative efforts but it also takes away the worry that one student is going to be stuck doing all the work.

# data[].attributes.body
To "meaningfully integrate technology" is to have students get something out of their experience using technology in the classroom, such as Mia's for holding an adoption event.

# data[].attributes.body
I love how brianna’s lesson focuses a lot on peer feedback. This gives students a voice and allows them to help their peers with their work and get feedback on their own work. I also like that they create solutions to the problem themselves, which gives them freedom to choose how they want to tackle the problem.

Abby does a great job of incorporating voice and choice to her students. In week 2, students are to create solutions to the problem. This includes; designing, creating presentations and presenting their solutions. This gives them the opportunity to have their own opinion about what they think is best and then having the opportunity to present their work to a panel.

# data[].attributes.body
I loved the way Malayna allowed choice through her students and alternative assessments for her students. I love the milestones also, makes it easier to navigate than a day by day approach

# data[].attributes.body
I liked the idea of putting together a campaign to promote and advocate for something.

The use of seesaw and flipgrid give the students the choice to reflect on what they have learned in they ways that make them comfortable. Whether it is a video or a post they can share their learnings within their comfort zone and connect with their classmates.

# data[].attributes.body
Fully integrating technology into the classroom in important and allows student choice, variety, access and more real world collaboration. Without technology, students aren’t able to reach the same groups as they can through technology.

# data[].attributes.body
I really liked aidan’s ALE. He talks about letting the students have more of a voice in what they are discussing about microplastics. They are able to type out a research paper and refer back to it as they discuss. I will use this in my classroom by allowing students to take more notes and look back at what we are learning and changing it if need be.

# data[].attributes.body
I thought the Climate Change & it’s affect on flooding in Charleston was an interesting topic. Plus students that will continue to reside in Charleston will need to know about this issue.

When technology is integrated into the classroom, it gives students numerous resources and gives them a reason for their learning. From what i’ve seen from the projects, sharing students work online gives them a purpose in what they are doing and promotes the important of their voice! Overall, all the projects that I looked at were really good and their authentic assessments showed how important collaboration and research is in the classroom!

# data[].attributes.body
“meaningfully integrating technology” means integrating technology that can positively help students learn. Each ALE I saw did a great job of this. Each technology went with an ISTE standard and had a connection with their lesson.

# data[].attributes.body
To meaningfully integrate tech into the classroom means to have activities where students can develop full understanding. In Olivia’s project the students would create a visual simulation using the information learned.

# data[].attributes.body
Meaningfully Integrate technology in the classroom means the students are allowed to use their own data and shows what they do know. This will overall help students learn.
