Hi everyone!
This week we are creating a storyboard for our website we have to create. Just a reminder that this story board is due FRIDAY night, not Sunday!! We each need to create 2 pages for our storyboard that go along with our project. I was thinking of making pages for sports, nutrition, risks of unhealthy eating, exercise, BMI, etc. If you have any other ideas, please post ASAP so we can get started on this.
We also have to create an original lesson, that can be a podcast, powerpoint, lesson plan, etc. so we should be thinking of those as well (:
I think we should just do a PPT, it'd be easiest and we can do that on Google Docs.
ReplyDeleteWe each have to do 2 pages! so 8 total! I was thinking of doing mine and basing it off the food groups and which foods are more beneficial to each sport, like weightlifting or running. Which foods are best before or after the sport. That ok?
ReplyDeleteDid you have a chance to look at the example? It's just a word document that outlines the ideas you choose to include in your website. I think we need to come up with 6 main ideas to focus on that contribute to our project and have a page for each of them. So it doesn't have to be too detailed right now
ReplyDeleteWe each have an original lesson that we must create, so total, we will have 3 original lessons. I don't think those are due until the final web site is finished, so we don't have to create that this week. Its just something to think about and plan for when we create our ideas for our pages
ReplyDeleteThanks for getting all of these ideas together Taylor! I am just sitting down now to look at everything we need to do for the storyboard.
DeleteI am so confused right now about how to do this storyboard the sample storyboard did not help. Could you guys help me wrap my brain around it? And I don't get what were creating. A word document?
ReplyDeleteWe are just creating a word document that outlines our final web site plan. It's not too detailed, just an outline explaining what pages we will include and what activities and lessons to include on each page.
DeleteSo where does our two pages come in? I am confused and the outline sample didnt help either
DeleteWe will create those later, when she gives us directions for them. Right now, we just have to create an outline for what each page would be. For example, we have 6 sub categories that go along with our topic, when we create our web site we will each need to work on and create the pages for 2 of those 6 categories. So I will make 2 pages, Jessica will make 2 pages, and you will make 2 pages.
DeleteSo for the 6 main ideas you mentioned Taylor I think nutrition, risks of unhealthy eating and exercise are good ideas but don't we need one of them to be the end product, the health fair, and maybe one for "station planning" or maybe "community involvement" discussing how we are going to have the fair be open to the public or something like that. And included in the topic of nutrition we should have the five food groups since our end product is a health fair about the food groups. Just like how she had "butterflies" as one of the main topics in the sample because the end product was a butterfly garden. Do you guys get where I'm going with this? Let me know what you think
ReplyDeleteThe main purpose for our web site will be as a resource for teachers to go to and look at all of the aspects of our project and try to recreate it themselves. So we need to include actual lessons that go with our project, not necessarily the small details like how to organize groups. The individual teachers will make those decisions themselves in their own classrooms. The way I interpreted it from the description and sample story board, this is essentially a unit plan
DeleteOk, thank you for putting it into perspective like that. That makes more sense!
DeleteI think we should take a look at our original concept map to brainstorm some big ideas for our pages, that go along with our unit project.
ReplyDeleteSo each page will kind of be like an idea for a lesson plan? Sorry I am not much help with this :( I wish I was understanding it better. If it is like a page for each lesson plan then I think we should stick with your ideas that you mentioned in your first comment. Maybe add one for cooking at home or counting calories
DeleteYou're fine, thats what the blog is for! Each "page" I think of as like a link or a tab you can click on from the main website. For example, the Butterfly Garden was the main website and the Butterfly portion would be on the side under "Butterfly" that people could click on and see what lessons would go with that particular activity or lesson. These sub-sections include more than just one lesson plan, sometimes it may be a powerpoint and a lesson plan (on the sample, it was what was everything listed under each sub section). We aren't creating everything now, we are just planning for it. We will make everything next week I think. We are including everything we have made so far this semester in our website, so maybe we should start by planning our sub sections around our projects? (lesson plans, podcast, digital story, etc). That way we make sure everything we have created is included.
Deleteso our "pages" will be like subtitles on the website that people can click on to read more information correct?
DeleteYeah. Each "page" is kind of like a side page. On a website, there are the side pages that you could click on, I think those are our "pages". So teachers who visited our web site would click on each page to visit individual, specific aspects of our project.
DeleteOn the sample storyboard, there was one sub section labeled "Grand Opening" and that is where they included the grand opening of their butterfly garden (Their big project). So we should include a section that is "Health Fair" and include the assignment of what the students are expected to do. Such as, researching specific food groups and exercise and create a poster/ booth to inform the public on the specifics of healthy nutrition and how much exercise is important. Does that make sense? One of our sub groups will basically be the final health fair (or at least the preparation for it)
ReplyDeleteAlso, for me, the best time to work on the google doc will be tomorrow night and Friday starting early afternoon. We should create it sometime tonight or tomorrow and then we can add stuff to it when convenient (working off of each others ideas). We have to submit it Friday night so we should try to all be able to work on it sometime Friday to finalize it!
ReplyDeleteAre we just all doing ours on the google doc first then submitting it seperately?
ReplyDeleteWe only have to submit one. We should all collaborate on the Google doc, then either submit that, or copy and paste it onto a separate document and submit it to her.
ReplyDeleteI added input in our Google Doc and I agree, we should finish it up tomorrow afternoon.
ReplyDeleteI added some input as well! I will be gone from 5:00 to around 8:30, so I did some stuff earlier, but I will also be able to check it periodically and when I get home (:
ReplyDeleteOkay sounds good! Taylor do you mind turning this one in?
ReplyDeleteI can definitely turn it in :) I won't be home for another hour so if you guys will just add as much as you can of your stuff and make any changes you think of, then I'll come home and do the same and turn it in! Would it be possible for me to make a deadline of like 10 for any editing? Or have everyone periodically check in and make sure that it's ok to turn in? I'm just worried I will turn it in and someonw won't have a chance to add what they want
ReplyDeleteKati, what will your original resource be? I didn't see one on the google doc
