In some cases, students were given the choice whether to read text online or in print, then complete assignments. When creating presentations, they were given the freedom to choose the platform they felt most comfortable with, which was almost always PowerPoint. Adding computers to the classroom will allow me to give them more time to become comfortable with other presentation or document options. ]]> 2018-04-12 14:12:37 UTC https://padlet.com/MrsWoody_SHHS/digital17_18/wish/251160312 MrsWoody_SHHS https://padlet.com/MrsWoody_SHHS/digital17_18/wish/251162664 Students have worked in a number of different groups to create, problem-solve, research, review and assist each other throughout the year. 

Examples of activities included paired drawings, group presentations, collaborative document creation, class discussion, debates using research-based information and problem-solving through coding. ]]> 2018-04-12 14:16:08 UTC https://padlet.com/MrsWoody_SHHS/digital17_18/wish/251162664 MrsWoody_SHHS https://padlet.com/MrsWoody_SHHS/digital17_18/wish/251163729 One of the most exciting things we did this year was incoporate Ozobots and coding into our ELA classroom. This allowed students to see how important clear, precise technical writing is. Once they had the basics of how to code/give directions down, then we were able to incoporate the bots into our ELA standards when discussing things such as plot, POV, author's intent, etc. and had the robots chart different paths to demonstrate this. 

Other activities included research projects, visual presentations, and student-created review materials.]]> 2018-04-12 14:17:57 UTC https://padlet.com/MrsWoody_SHHS/digital17_18/wish/251163729 MrsWoody_SHHS https://padlet.com/MrsWoody_SHHS/digital17_18/wish/251165797 For each tech assignment, I include some real-world connection. These can be career-related, such as the importance of being able to share and save documents in One Drive or they can be real-life such as how to create an effective tweet or visual that they will use to communicate with their peers. I feel it is important that students are given a variety of opportunities to explore using tech that will be relatable to them after high school. 

Students did several different research-based assignments using online resources,. They created graphics to accompany several stories using both online and no-tech resources. They created school Twitter accounts to share infomation with me and used Adobe Spark to create their own personal Twitter banner. 

By using the Twitter handles of some of the companies whose products we used, students were given feedback from those accounts. ]]> 2018-04-12 14:21:02 UTC https://padlet.com/MrsWoody_SHHS/digital17_18/wish/251165797 MrsWoody_SHHS https://padlet.com/MrsWoody_SHHS/digital17_18/wish/251167467 Each assignment has a specific set of goals and students are made aware of them. For some assignments, they are tasked with creating their own timelines,  assigning responsibilities with in the group, progress-monitoring and then self-reflection after the assignment. 

Once we have steady access to laptops for students, I will expect them to create their own digital portfolios for storing their work, reflections and other items of interest.]]> 2018-04-12 14:23:45 UTC https://padlet.com/MrsWoody_SHHS/digital17_18/wish/251167467 MrsWoody_SHHS https://padlet.com/MrsWoody_SHHS/digital17_18/wish/251268233 2018-04-12 17:19:09 UTC https://padlet.com/MrsWoody_SHHS/digital17_18/wish/251268233 MrsWoody_SHHS https://padlet.com/MrsWoody_SHHS/digital17_18/wish/251279958 Once we mastered marker coding, we moved on to computerized block coding. ]]> 2018-04-12 17:39:46 UTC https://padlet.com/MrsWoody_SHHS/digital17_18/wish/251279958 MrsWoody_SHHS https://padlet.com/MrsWoody_SHHS/digital17_18/wish/251281273 Students used marker and block coding to solve a series of problems with their Ozobots. This made them focus on keeping information concise and clear. Future activities will have them using Ozobots to demonstrate understanding of plot elements, character development, proofreading, grammar and mechanics and review games as a group.]]> 2018-04-12 17:41:44 UTC https://padlet.com/MrsWoody_SHHS/digital17_18/wish/251281273 MrsWoody_SHHS https://padlet.com/MrsWoody_SHHS/digital17_18/wish/251282087 These were made using classtools.net. Students had to research various theories about Poe's death, then create their own news chyron and explain why they chose the theory they did. 

They also learned what "coping" is, which was an added US HIstory/Government connection.

Once completed, they had to figure out a way to join all of their paths together and get the Ozobot to hit all the paths. ]]> 2018-04-12 17:56:36 UTC https://padlet.com/MrsWoody_SHHS/digital17_18/wish/251289499 MrsWoody_SHHS https://padlet.com/MrsWoody_SHHS/digital17_18/wish/251291494 How do you sum up a key moment or the plot in The Great Gatsby in a tweet?

They have to make it Ozobot friendly, incorporate moves and then fix problems when they do not get desired outcomes. It is like editing in an English class, only for a robot. Then we move on to block coding via computer. 

This works great when you do not have enough devices in your classroom--Crayola markers work best. Sharpies are too dark with the blue and the green. #lessonlearned. ]]> 2018-04-12 18:19:38 UTC https://padlet.com/MrsWoody_SHHS/digital17_18/wish/251302832 MrsWoody_SHHS https://padlet.com/MrsWoody_SHHS/digital17_18/wish/251303360 These were created in Adobe Apark, then shared on twitter.

The slides could not have any text other than a title on them. Then for their presentation, they had to speak on each slide for 20 seconds. No more. They worked in groups of 3-4. ]]> 2018-04-12 18:32:46 UTC https://padlet.com/MrsWoody_SHHS/digital17_18/wish/251310187 MrsWoody_SHHS https://padlet.com/MrsWoody_SHHS/digital17_18/wish/251312704 In this activity, students provided feedback in short sentences, similar to tweets, in response to literature questions. They also gave feedback using emojis or checkmarks. ]]> 2018-04-12 18:37:23 UTC https://padlet.com/MrsWoody_SHHS/digital17_18/wish/251312704 MrsWoody_SHHS https://padlet.com/MrsWoody_SHHS/digital17_18/wish/251314366 Students had to sum up digital image by writing a six-word story. This was in preparation for writing summaries. They were also given the option to post them on twitter. This is another assignment that I will also do as a crossover with a group padlet/online sticky board. ]]> 2018-04-12 18:40:45 UTC https://padlet.com/MrsWoody_SHHS/digital17_18/wish/251314366 MrsWoody_SHHS https://padlet.com/MrsWoody_SHHS/digital17_18/wish/251315380 Communication

They also had to incorporate light effects to show emotions. 

This required them to plan the route, then figure out how many "steps" their bots had to take, how to make it turn on the correct path, how to get back to the bridge, etc. This involved a great deal of trial and error as they figured the distances and how to make the turns at the correct angle. Their code had to reflect all of this, plus they also had to explain to me why they used the light effects and speeds they did in relation to the plot. 

It was a good way to incoporate math into an ELA classroom.

Next, they wrote on that topic and then reflected on how they could or could not relate to the character. Finally, they discussed how seeing a video did or did not make more of an impact on them than reading just the text on similar material. 

This is the type of assignment that I will include in their digital portfolios next year so they can have the use of fonts, graphics and images to add to the impact of their publication. ]]> 2018-04-12 20:40:24 UTC https://padlet.com/MrsWoody_SHHS/digital17_18/wish/251358078 MrsWoody_SHHS https://padlet.com/MrsWoody_SHHS/digital17_18/wish/251360927 Students fill this out as they work on projects to ensure accountability. It is due when the project is completed and counts for a portion of their grade. Students also give 2 pros and 2 cons for their projects at the end of each one. ]]> 2018-04-12 20:51:22 UTC https://padlet.com/MrsWoody_SHHS/digital17_18/wish/251360927 MrsWoody_SHHS https://padlet.com/MrsWoody_SHHS/digital17_18/wish/251687148 Students worked on shared Power Point presentations to demonstrate knowledge of a specific literary era. 

This gave us the chane to learn how to work on slides simultaneouslyand also how to upload them to a class One Drive file. ]]> 2018-04-13 18:25:19 UTC https://padlet.com/MrsWoody_SHHS/digital17_18/wish/251687148 MrsWoody_SHHS https://padlet.com/MrsWoody_SHHS/digital17_18/wish/252335038 Resources for sharing and presenting information:
