Communication & Collaboration ||< Groups of students would have to solve the issues of the large amount of trash thrown away in the school. The students would research and find ways to solve the different problems, then create a presentation to propose how to solve said problems using one of a variety of web 2.0 tools or computer software such as: Prezi, Gloster, PowerPoint, MovieMaker ||~  || Students create a prezi based on their own research on poverty answering the essential questions of: where, how many, what, and why… ||~  || Students could create propaganda and then peer review/critique one another. Students would provide constructive feedback on issues relating to audience, purpose, effectiveness, etc. They could also compare student propaganda to actual examples they have experienced. ||~  || promote student reflection using collaborative tools to reveal and clarify students' conceptual understanding and thinking, planning, and creative processes. ||< Apply technological knowled ge in decision-making. (Benchmark B) ||< I would love to use both Voicethread and Prezi to work with these ideas. Students could start their own voice thread focused on one political idea and others could contribute ideas. Students could also create position statements using Prezi and present them to the class. ||~  || RHS ||< 1b-create original works as a means of personal or group expression ||< The ability to think critically, problem solve, create, innovate, communicate and collaborate ||< Students use [|http://www.fodey.com] to create an newspaper Headline and clipping of the Arch duke Franz Ferdinand assassination. ||~  || WRJHS ||< 1a-promote, support, and model creative and innovative thinking and inventiveness ||< Ability to: problem-solve, think critically, communicate and collaborate ||< I would like for students to be able to use Voicethread to create and share a story as well as wordle to learn and incroporate new words into their stories. ||~  || FR ||< 4b Address the diverse needs of all learners by using learner-centered strategies providing equitable access to appropriate digital tools and resources. ||< Effectively apply critical thinking, collaboration, communication and creativity ||< Create a variety of Voice Threads based on student needs and interest. Develop a Wikispace to provide differentiated diverse digital learning experiences. ||~  || 3a: plan strategies to guide inquiry ||< collaboration with others, self-directed learning ||< I would like students to use the Voice thread to "publish" and share the results of their research into topics. Often literature that they read sparks questions about an unfamiliar topic. One example: recently they read a novel, __Rules,__ by Cynthia Lord One of the main characters had an autistic brother and a friend who was physically handicapped. The chidlren had multiple questions about autisism and occupational therapy. Their own research answered many of their questions. ||~  || BRJH ||< 1d.

Learning from and working collaboratively with individuals representing diverse cultures, religions and lifestyles in a spirit of mutual respect and open dialogue in personal, work and comminity contexts. ||< I think my third graders could use Voice Thread to communicate with students from other countries. I usually have 8-10 ELL students in my classroom. It would be interesting to talk to students in their native countries about things they have learned, current events, etc. It would be interesting to see the things that 8 and 9 year old have in common and the things that are different in their lives. ||~  || HM ||< 1b-create original works as a means of personal or group expression ||< The ability to think critically, problem solve, create, innovate, communicate and collaborate ||< Visit [|www.biguniverse.com] On this site, students can publish their own personal writing into an online book to share with friends and family members. They are also able to illustrate their books. Other students can then read the story and offer feedback through comments that are left on the site. Students could also use this resource to produce book reviews to share with peers. ||~  || SR ||< 2a.
