Wow this is excellent! I love the project-based learning, which allows students autonomy in demonstrating knowledge and skills they learned holistically. Throughout the process, students also expressed their emotions and independence in the finalized content and product presented. It is great that it went smoothly and the students received extra time to finish the project. I am interested in learning the students' learning outcomes. How many students achieve the learning objectives against the leraning objectives and the rubric? You did a great job with your need assessment (working with the ELA teacher), design, development, implementation, and evaluation (remember the ADDIE model?). The reflection that you had on the making a folder that collects needed materials, documents, pictures is legitimate. With the issues of internet connection and the filter, some work can be done prior to the implementation. Nonetheless, you executed a successful lesson!!! :D
Everyone loves Book Builder! I was impressed with the number of standards you addressed with this lesson; you must be an ELA teacher! You rubric was well aligned with the standards. Good Job!
I found your interview with an ELA teacher very interesting and informational. I agree with your ELA teacher that working on computers can be intimidating for some students. I found this out through experience when I implemented my Book Builder lesson. I appreciate you pointing out that there are students from financially disadvantaged families who have limited access to computers and technology. We sometimes assume students to have basic computing skills and knowledge of different gadgetry. So it is something to keep in mind. Some other really good questions you had were about the challenges new literacies present and how new literacies connect to the Common Core Standards. I agree with the ELA teacher once again that although writing digitally allow students to mature as writers, spellings and grammars are neglected.
