After browsing through each and every single strand, I finally decided about one that would match with the content of my lesson. I must admit that it was really hard to find the one that could fit my ideas, but anyhow I adapted it to the best I could. In the beginning I was skeptic about sedon graders and blogging, hmmm... how would second graders perceive blogs? But I did some research and this is what I found - How Do Second Graders Perceive Blogs?
The strand I chose is: Creativity and Innovation
Grade:2
Content Statement: The use of digital tools and media-rich resources enhances creativity and the construction of knowledge.
CPI 8.1.2.B.1: Illustrate and communicate original ideas and stories using digital tools and media rich resources.
This In this case the use of blogs would be great because I could assign them to build the blog as group project where they can all combine their information and put it together in paragraphs. For example they could write about Mozart in three different paragraphs:a) Early Life b) Famous Woks c) Mozart's Music Today
Students will have a possibility to be introduced to music history lessons illustrated by pictures and also short music theory lessons. This way the focus of the class would be stronger and everyone will think in unison.
I like how you did research beyond the standards to see how 2nd graders use blogs Margin! Like PE, Music is tougher to find ways to use technology but the group project is a great idea! It helps students to communicate with each other while learning historical music. Great job!
ReplyDeletegood ideas with the blog! I understand how it would be hard to integrate technology with music. But you came up with a great way to use blogs!
