Empowered Learner

ISTE Standard

Empowered Learner 1c
To get the students connected to the digital world I incorporated the ISTE standards along with the SC Standards into lesson plans.  Throughout this blog I will explain in detail the different ISTE standards and SC Standards to incorporate into lesson plans so the students will become engaged and connected to the digital world.



The first standard incorporated in the lesson plans is 1c- Empowered Learner.  This standard states Students use technology to seek feedback that informs and improves their practice and to demonstrate their learning in a variety of ways.



This standard corresponds with SCCCR Mathematical Process Standard K.NS.1-  This standard indication: Count forward by ones and tens to 100.



Taking in account the age of the students I knew I had to compile a lesson which would engage the students so they would want to complete the task/lesson.  At such a young age, sustaining their attention is key.  After researching and analyzing I came up with the following project.



Student will work with an interactive 1-100 chart. Student will color each numbered square in after verbally stating the number with the color purple. Every time the student identifies a ten-valued number he/she will color that square in yellow





            Select colors to color in squares    
   
The student completed the project






The project will strengthen student’s abilities to count to 100 by ones and tens. This will also assist students to visualize the patterns in the hundreds chart, which will improve their ability to calculate mentally.  I found this interactive math manipulative program at ABCYA web address is: http://www.abcya.com/kindergarten.  The students will navigate the app on an iPad.







ISTE Standard

Empowered Learner 1d





To continue keeping the students connected to the digital world I incorporated another ISTE standard in the lesson plans: 1d- Empowered Learner.  The standard mentions student understands the fundamental concepts of technology operations demonstrate the ability to choose, use and troubleshoot current technologies and are able to transfer their knowledge to explore emerging technologies.



This standard corresponds with SCCCR Mathematical Process Standard K.NS.2- Count forward by ones beginning from any number less than 100.


Student(s) will work with an interactive Number Bubble Count. Student will have to use the correct operations to pop the bubble.  The number will drop out of bubble into the correct location if deployed correctly.  Student will have to troubleshoot (change their approach) to surpass to the next level. This activity will allow the student to gain awareness of the numbers 1-100. Accomplishing this, student(s) will increase number recognition and number relationship while being actively engaged using digital technology.










        Click on the word “GO” to start











    Pop bubble so the number falls in the correct treasure box
Next round pop the bubbles in numeric order







The students continue until they reach 100







Notified how well the student performed

ISTE Standard-Global Citizen Standard: 2c This project I incorporated ISTE Standard 2c wich will strengthen student’s awareness to recognize characters, settings, events, and ideas as they developed and interacted with the story.  Student will be able to identify the cause and effect of events.  With interacting within this project, the student will be able to analyze the characters.  The students will be observing the setting and events which take place along with the idea of the story. With doing so the student gains the ability to recognize the rights and responsibilities of working in an interconnected digital world.  They will demonstrate their knowledge via an interactive test.  I paired SC Standard: ELA-K. RLMC.8.1e   which states: Analyze characters, settings, events, and ideas as they develop and interact within a particular context-Identify the cause of event into the lesson as well.  This project will be performed using an iPad.  The student will need to de

ISTE 6d Creative Communicator

ISTE Standard-Creative Communicator Standard: 6d The ISTE standard for these lesson is 6- Creative Communicator d .  This standard states students publish or present content that customizes the message and medium for their intended audiences. I compiled the lesson to meet South Carolina ELA standard WL 4.1 for Kindergarten along with the ISTE Standard.  The SC Standard states: Student demonstrates command of the conventions of standard English grammar and usage when writing or speaking.  With guidance and support, use nouns   Once the students complete the lesson it will strengthen their awareness to recognize and how to use nouns when writing. The student had to use technology to compose sentences using at least three nouns.  Then they had to draw a picture of what the sentences were about using an app on an iPad.  Once they complete the project they will present it to the class. See my page labeled  Creative Communicator to see a sample project.
