Collaborative Web Tools in Education Artifact #1

     Writing & Assessing A Collaborative Task


EARTH AND SPACE


My  Educational Technology Cohort was given the task of creating a Collaborative Task for our students. I decided to create a task which supports our English Language Arts (ELA) curriculum. During the 3rd Trimester, my 1st grade students are exploring Earth and Space.  To help them learn about Earth and Space, the students will complete various activities involving the moon, the sun and the Earth. The activities created by the ELA coaches involve reading books, watching videos, writing, and illustrating. I wanted to infuse more technology into the activities so I created a Google Class, Earth and Space, within my Google Classroom.  

Google Classroom is an excellent platform teachers can use  to organize activities and information for our students.  I have assigned many activities ranging from watching videos, playing learning games on Kahoot.com, writing about what they have learned on Padlet.com, and using Google Docs to answer questions about the Earth. The activities will be completed as a whole class, small groups, and in pairs.
