BP#5_20091102_Researching and Blogging about Web 2.0 Tools
When searching for a plan to use with flicker I was over whelmed with all the information that was made available. Making my selection was very easy. My search took me to New Teachers New York: lesson plans by New Teachers, For New Teachers.
The lesson title was ?The Beginning of a plant?. I chose this lesson because for the last two weeks my students have been working on Science Fair Projects and one of the lessons I use to demonstrate collection data was the sprout of a lima bean.
They were amazed at how fast the bean germinated and how quickly stems, leaves and roots begin to grow. This lesson really sparked their interest on how plants grow. They were also able to develop questions, state hypothesis, and do research to support their findings.
Thank you for introducing Flickr to me so that I can introduce this to my students. This will help them to create digital videos and digital stories about what they learned. I feel students learn better by doing. I can?t say that enough. I see how children light up when they learn how to use some of the technology that is available to them daily in the classroom. The lesson plan I pulled up was geared for 3Rd grade but I can easily adapt it to 5th grade as an inquiry lesson.
Flickr would also be a good tool that the students can use for the technology fair when creating and developing their technology projects. The use of Flickr in the classroom brings a new outlook to visuals. I can introduce lessons with flicker using Infocus and let the students use the slate to tag and generate descriptions of the captions. When connecting my lesson to the real world flickr would be one of the better web
