 * Kindergarten - 2nd Grade


 * Adams12 Standards 2 & 3: Locate information and communicate ideas **

**NETS-S Standard ****2. Communication and Collaboration** Students use digital media and environments to communicate and work collaboratively, including at a distance, to support individual learning and contribute to the learning of others.

Students apply digital tools to gather, evaluate, and use information.
 * NETS-S Standard 3. Research and Information Fluency **

LESSON Grade: K-1 Subject Area: Language Content Standard: Lesson Title: Directional Words (Prepositions) Time needed: Two 30-45 min computer sessions

Short description of the lesson: Students will work in teams to create pictures that match with the directional words (Prepositions)  that they have been working on in the classroom. When pictures matching the words are complete, the students then take turns recording a sentence into the program that describes the pictures. Example - "The dog is **under**  the tree." Sentence expectations should be expanded to individualize for students.

Online application used & other possibilities (include notes like: use the “edu version”, you can create your students’ accounts)

What hardware and software is needed? - Computers with microphones and Kidspiration software

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Short description of the lesson: Two pre-questions were discussed in the classroom:
 * 1) <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">What would happen if you had an object in each hand, and one object was heaver than the other? How would that feel? (Model fulcrum using your hands.)
 * 2) <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">If you are balancing on a high wire, is it better to have your hands out or down by your sides?

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">After the introduction in the classroom, students in groups rotated through three stations in the library. First, they played a balance app on the iPod touch. Then, they had to walk on a tight rope on a Wii Fit Plus. Finally, they read (or listened to) Mirette on the High Wire and completed a balance activity. They had a cut out of Mirettr or Monsieur Bellini that they tried to balance on their fingertip. If you do not have a Wii Fit, you could borrow balance boards from PE or create some other way for students to balance.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #0000ff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Short description of the lesson: Students write a book review of a book they read without giving away the ending. Then, they log on to Vocaroo to record their reviews. Then, these can be posted on the library or class website. (To use Vocaroo, you have to have an e-mail account, so I created a generic accout through yahoo to create the Vocaroo account. Then, students sign into Vocaroo with that account, and they also send their podcast to that same e-mail address. Those are the podcasts I post online.)

Content reports can share online or printed using PowerPoint slides.
