Recently, I have been trying to incorporate more project-based learning into my classroom.  To view the project, visit this LINK.  Stay tuned for my reflection piece and what I would change the next time I do this project!

Social Studies - Augmented Reality

In sixth grade, we continue to push the envelope on how to best use technology in the classroom.  We are working on incorporating an augmented reality project for our ancient Rome unit.  In this project, students will film videos educating their peers on a particular topic.  Then, using HP Reveal, these students will make a "trigger" in their textbooks, a picture, or other visual source that will send their peers directly to their video.  This is an excellent opportunity for collaboration, creativity, communication, and critical thinking! Reflections and best practice to come soon! Link to Google Drive Folder: Rome - Augmented Reality

Writing - Research in the 21st Century

In the third trimester, we will be teaching our students how to conduct research and present their findings in an organized essay.  We will be using Google Classroom to assign the included hyperdoc and graphic organizer found in the link below.  Students will conduct research online, practicing safe searches and checking for credibility.  After teaching them how to cite sources, embed quotes, and provide commentary, students will begin their outlines.  Once they have completed rough drafts, we will then use Canvas to assign peer editors and go through an extensive revision process.  If time allows, students will be presenting their findings to the class in a multimedia presentation.  This is an ambitious project, but I know it will be beneficial to our students.  Reflection to come in May!
