Glogster+Lesson+Plan

This is the lesson plan that goes with the Glogster activity. It would be good for either a group or individiual activity. Lesson Title: Learning and Identifying Basic Colors Area of Study: Colors Teacher Name: Adam Lammers Grade Level: 1st Grade Duration of Instruction: 30 minutes to an hour Objective(s): 1. Students will make a Glogster that has different color student uploaded images pasted onto the correct color of the background. Content Standards (OK Pass): 1. Standard 1: Language of Visual Art - The student will identify visual art terms (e.g., collage, design, original, portrait, paint, subject). 2. Name elements of art; color. Technology Standards (NETS-S): 1. 3. Research and Information Fluency: Students apply digital tools to gather, evaluate, and use information. 2. 6. Technology Operations and Concepts: Students demonstrate a sound understanding of technology concepts, systems, and operations. Materials and Resources: 1. A computer lab with internet access so that each child has their own computer. (This could also be done in groups) 2. A premade PowerPoint on colors to show the students. 3. A projector or some way to show what is on the teacher’s computer screen to all the students in the classroom at once. 4. A finished example of a Glogster. (The Glogster I turned in the discussion board for week 7.) Procedures: 1. Gain Attention- Ask the students what their favorite colors are. Also ask which students are wearing red, orange, green, etc clothing and see how many kids know. 2. Inform Learners of Objectives- Ask students why knowing the colors is important. Tell them that upon completing the lesson, they will be able to create their own online poster about colors with pictures they choose. 3. Stimulate Recall of Prior Learning- Show the students a PowerPoint on colors (the PowerPoint I turned in for week 6.) First go over it with the students, and then let them go over it by themselves individually for a couple of minutes. 4. Present the Content- Show the students the finished Glogster example and explain to them how there is a picture that’s color corresponds to the color of the background. 5. Provide Learner Guidance- Show the students how to make their own Glogster. First, tell them to log on. Make a generic student account for all the kids to use so that they do not have to make their own account. Explain how each icon on Glogster works. The ones that will be used here are the wall and image section; and maybe the video section, depending on time and the students. Tell the students to watch you explain everything first before they start making their own. Tell them they need to find 6 pictures online that represent the 6 colors of the rainbow background that will be used. These pictures can be totally student found from the internet, or the teacher can collect many pictures before class and save them on the computers so that there is a set list to choose from. 6. Elicit Performance/ Provide Feedback- Have each child begin making their own Golgster. Make sure that each child first uses the rainbow background for the wall, so that the activity can be completed. Be sure to be available for questions. 7. Assess Performance- Observe each child’s finished Glogster. Ask them to compare the images they chose for their colors with the images of the students around them. 8. Enhance Retention and Transfer- In conclusion, remind the students of the importance of knowing different colors; such as in street lights. Technology Integration: The PowerPoint gives the students some basic examples of colors. It helps them put the names of the colors with the color. The Glogster also will help help students learn by doing as they search for certain colored pictures. Assessment: 1. Grade students based on if the pictures they found match the colored background it is placed on. ||   5   ||    4-3   ||    2-1   ||  Following Directions and Completing Activity  || Student followed all directions and completed Glogster activity. ||  Students followed most of the directions but did not have all pictures in the right place or did not complete the activity or used the wrong background. ||  Student did not follow directions and did not attempt activity. || Effort  || Student tried to make their Glogster unique. ||  Student used plain pictures such as squares of color rather than colored objects. ||  Student did not have any pictures. || Extra Credit  || Student added a video that has anything to do with color to their Glogster. ||   ||    ||
