Lesson of the Week

This past week in my class, Production and Utilization of Technology in the classroom, we spent most of the class period working on a instructional glog presentation to go along with the lesson objective we came up with for the previous class in accordance with state standards. Dr. Yamamoto showed us an example glog that she made to coincide with an example lesson and we as a class orally graded it with the rubric.

The whole idea of the glog presentation makes it an interactive way for students to explore the content of the lesson presented in either a front-loaded or during the lesson manner. My lesson glog followed my lesson objectives for the novel A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, and I used the material, links and pictures in a front loaded presented manner. I would first log on the glogster page and show my class how to navigate to the glog, but since the presentation I created includes hyperlinks to articles, reviews, and a video it would be pointless for me as a teacher to stand up there and click through each link. For the students to get the background and understanding that I feel they need to have in order to get a deeper understanding of the world of this novel they need to explore the content of the glog themselves and do some self discovery.

This is definitely something I will use in my classroom as well as have my students create ones of their own.

Here is the link to my instructional lesson glog. Explore it if you'd like! :) I hope the link works on here.
