The purpose of this module is to inform teachers of ways to introduce first grade students to distinguishing between short and long vowels (RF2.a).  This information is part of the reading foundational skills that are necessary to be a successful reader and writer.  This approach will give students an opportunity to use each of the mentioned technology components.

# data[].attributes.body
Teachers will learn how to incorporate the following objectives into their own classrooms:
Use of Brain Pop, Jr. to begin the learning process about short and long vowels.  Students will then take the quiz at the end of each video.

·      In small groups, students will discuss what they learned from the video.  After the discussion, students will create (with their groups) a discussion using Padlet.  The other groups in the class will discuss what is posted from the other groups until each group has conversed with the other groups.

·      Students will independently create drawings in their journals to teach others what they learned about and then practice using Storybird by copying information in their physical journal to their digital journal (Storybird).

·      Students will create a teaching video using Screencastify where they will present their journal entries/drawings to the class.

·      Finally, students will use an internet search engine to research and evaluate websites that could be used to help teach short and long vowels.

Students will be assessed on each of the presented learning objectives.  They will be asked to provide feedback, as well as their own self-assessments of how well they participated/interacted with others.  At the end of the module, students will be asked to give feedback about the module (i.e. usefulness, navigation, compare to f2f learning, and offer suggestions).  They will also complete a short quiz using Quizizz.

Resources will include yet are not limited to Brain Pop, Jr., Padlet, Screencastify, Storybird, and Quizizz.

Teachers will be engaged in the professional learning module by being able to create accounts and use the aforementioned resources. They will be able to take the learned information back to their classrooms to try with students. The students will be engaged through their completion of the video, small group discussions, Padlet posts/replies, journal entries, Screencastify recordings/posts, and website evaluations.  These activities fulfill the necessary first grade learning objectives, yet incorporate technology tools that are not usually used in f2f learning.

# data[].attributes.body
The module will be designed through Google Classroom.  Teachers and students are familiar with the basics of Google Classroom because it is often used during f2f and hybrid learning.
