ETC Final Project Lesson Plan

Relevant and Innovative Learning Scenario – RILS
Presented by Pamela Perry King

1.Target Audience-
• 5th and 6th grade Gifted and Talented Students
2.Materials:
o -Interactive Notebooks that student’s have created describing him or herself.
o -Computers with access to “Glogster” and clip art

3.Objectives:
o Students will use the web 2.0 application “Glogster” to create an interactive poster using multimedia aspects to describe them in an “All About Me” activity.
o Students will transfer current knowledge to the learning of newly acquired technology.
o Students will create a digital publication that involves planning and creating a “glog”.
o Students will create personal learning networks to collaborate and publish with peers using Glogster as their digital tool.
o Students will communicate effectively with a peer audience using digital technology.

4.Procedure:
o Students have been working on creating an interactive notebook that has a collection of personality quizzes in it. Students have identified personality traits, likes, values, learning styles and character traits.
o Students will assess the information and determine what pictures they need to best represent them. They will make a list.
o They will use Microsoft clip art and Creative Commons to locate pictures for the project. Students will use the interactive notebook, clip art ,and video clips that they have chosen to place in their glog that best represents them.
o Students will write captions and informative details on their glogs to give the reader a vivid understanding of the content placed on the “glog”.
o After teacher approval for appropriate content, the students will published their Glogster Poster to be shared in an oral and visual presentation.



5. “Glogster” is the web 2.0 tool to be used create this interactive poster.

6. Social Learning:
• Students will give an oral presentation, “All About Me” using their Glogster poster.
• Classmates will have the opportunity to ask questions and share thoughts based on each student’s presentation.

7. Making Connections:
o Students connecting their personal interests and characteristics with presentation skills.
o Students connecting with other students and the teacher based on similarities and differences described in their likes, values and so on.
o Students connecting possible abstract thoughts and concepts with concrete images.

8.Create/Produce:
The learners will create an interactive “All About Me” posters. These posters will be displayed on the Library’s Web Page. Students will have the opportunity to share these in class.
