Your job in this assignment is to create an example of the project AS IF you are a student.So if you are teaching second grade, it should look like something a second grader might create.if you are teaching high school juniors, it should look like something a high school junior might create.

So let’s recap….We created a UDL Lesson Plan and linked it to content that would assist us when teaching, then we created a tool to FLIP our classroom.
So now what?
The last activity we are going to complete is to practice creating at least three assignments for students where THEY would use a web-based program to create and complete projects that help them better understand and learn the content in your lesson.
(Just a note…the assignments you create do NOT have to correspond to the Emaze slides you created in the “FLIP YOUR CLASSROOM” assignment. The assignments you create can relate to anything having to do with the content of your lesson.)
We are finding actual web-based applications that students can manipulate and use to create a project on their own. Therefor a quiz or something like Kahoots would NOT be a student-created project. We want the projects to inspire students to be creative in what they create using technology. We are looking for things where students work on a project centered on your content. What we are looking for are actual projects where the students have to CREATE something based on the content they are learning using technology. So, for example, having students create something using paper, glue and glitter on their desks and then taking a picture of it and sending it to you is NOT the idea here. They need to use an actual web-based application to create the project.
Your job in this assignment is to create an example of the project AS IF you are a student. So if you are teaching second grade, it should look like something a second grader might create…if you are teaching high school juniors, it should look like something a high school junior might create. You are NOT just assigning a project but actually creating an example of what students might come up with using the technology you have selected.
For the purposes of this assignment, you CAN NOT have your students use PowerPoint, Prezi, any Google application, or WIX to show that they have learned. Your first activity will all be done with Powtoon, but for activity #2 you will select the technology from a list of choices and for #3 you will select an activity on your own.
So here are the rules…
Rule 1: Create an example for all three of the student projects using technology. Rule 2: On your website create a link to the technology you used so you will be able to access it in the future. PLUS you should embed a finished example of a possible student-created project that you would use to show students what you are expecting them to create.(You may have some trouble embedding the example you created so remember that a SCREEN SHOT is always an easy way to show the example. You take a screenshot and then add it to your webpage as an image.)
Here is the plan….
For each of the required activities (#1, #2, and #3)
Add a link to the site the project is being created on.
Write a list of instructions for your students, taking them step-by-step through how to make an account, how to create the assignment, what the content should be that they put in their project, and how to send it to you as the teacher so you can grade it.You will lose half credit for this assignment if you don’t have a step-by-step list of instructions for each of the three projects so that a student could complete them at home.
Then create a student example and embed it under the instructions.
For #1 EVERYONE will use Powtoon Links to an external site.and create a video as the first of your student projects. The goal is to get familiar with this tool. Put an example of what you created on your website.
You will first need to create an account.
Pick a template for your video.
Create the video AS IF you were a student in your classroom.
So after you create your Powtoon Video:Click on Export.
Click on YouTube.
Type in your YouTube Account information. (You will have to make an account on YouTube if you haven’t already)
Then select your account.
Answer the few following questions. (Make sure the video is PUBLIC!)
Once the video is uploaded to YouTube click on the word SHARE.
There you will find the EMBED Code.
Go to the + sign on your Wix website.
Go down to the word EMBED.
Select the green box that says EMBED A WIDGET.
A gray box will appear.
Paste the EMBED Code in the box.
Enlarge the box so your entire video shows.
For #2 | You will choose one of the following to create your second student project. You will have a link to the website you chose, a list of instructions for students focusing on how you use the website but also the content that should be in the project they create, and then an example of what a student-created project might look like. You need to embed the final project on your WIX webpage. Remember to look for the signs (< >). If there is no embed code, you can take a screenshot of the example and upload it as an image.VokiLinks to an external site
Bubbl.usLinks to an external site.
PoppletLinks to an external site.
EmazeLinks to an external site.
BlabberizeLinks to an external site.
StorybirdLinks to an external site.
For #3 | Search the internet and find a web-based application that is new to you that students could work with in order to create a creative project. Find something where your students can show you what they have learned about your content. Create an example. Make sure you have the same type of instructions as in projects #1 and #2. List the instructions, and put a link on your page to the website PLUS EMBED a copy of the example on your website.
Remember when you are finished submit the URL to your website here.
