Global Collaborator


Global Collaborator ISTE S7a
The ISTE standard for these lesson is 7- Global Collaborator a.  This standard has the students use digital tools to connect with learners from a variety of backgrounds and cultures, engaging with them in ways that broaden mutual understanding and learning.





I compiled the lesson to meet South Carolina ELA standard K.NS.7.  for Kindergarten, along with the ISTE Standard. The SC Standard states: Student can determine whether the number of up to ten objects in one group is more than, less than, or equal to the number of up to ten objects in another group using matching and counting strategies.




This project will allow students to use technology to broaden their perspectives and enrich their learning by collaborating with others globally.  The students will interact with another classroom in another country to solve math problems.  Each class will work together to solve the math problems visiting class has creates for them via Skype.  Each class will compile groups of different items (ex: blocks, easers, crayons) up to ten objects.  Each class displays their objects on the screen and figures out which is equal to, less than, or more than using the different counting strategies they have learned in class.  The students will write what the object is and the total number of the object. Then place them in order of least to most.  Then use the terms of less than, equal to, and/or less than. Once the classes have answered the question(s) they will discuss which counting strategies they used. If the class speaks a different language the student will discuss how they pronounce their numbers and write their answers.

Sample of Project:    

The teacher will connect to website and this how you communicate with the other classroom


This class is from Argentina



These are the objects you are to count and place in order








You will count the objects and show your answers:

Answers:
We placed them in order from least to most:

Pencils: 4 - Four
Scissors: 6 -Six
Balls: 8 - Eight
Crayons: 9 - Nine
Tiles: 10-Ten

There are more tiles than any other object. 
                            There are less pencils than scissors, balls, crayons and tiles. 
    There are more balls than scissors and pencils.

                   There are more crayons than balls, scissor, and pencils.

Global Collaborator ISTE S7c

The ISTE standard for these lesson is 7- Global Collaborator c.  This standard has the students contribute constructively to project teams, assuming various roles and responsibilities to work effectively toward a common goal.

I compiled the lesson to meet South Carolina ELA standard K.NS.4b.  for Kindergarten, along with the ISTE Standard.   The SC Standard states:  The students will understand the relationship between numbers and quantity.  Connect counting to cardinally by demonstrating an understanding that the number of objects is the same regardless of their arrangement or the order in which they are counted (conservation of numbers).


This project will allow students to assume different roles and responsibilities while they contribute constructively in completing the project. The class will be divided into groups of three.  Each student will have 2 attempts to be an Oreo cookie stacker. Students will place one cookie on the paper plate and add one cookie at a time to the stack. The cookies cannot be adjusted after you place it down.  One student will be the note taker and another student in the group will be the counter, counts the number of cookies student stacks.  If the cookie or cookies fall off the stack it called a “tumble” and it’s the next person’s turn.  When a tumble occurres, the student needs to make sure their stack count is recorded. Once all students and teacher record their stack totals, you will add up all largest cookie stack attempts from each person, and divide by amount of people who have stacked to determine average length stacked.  The teacher will help with dividing because it’s an advanced math skill.  The teacher will submit the class average length stacked via the online form.
Sample of Project:    
This is a map depicting the different countries involved in the project





You will pick up the Oreo cookies and stack them



The counter is to keep track of how many Oreos are stacked


Continue to stack the cookies as high as you can go




Remember if you drop it you cannot pick it up you are finished.  Have note take write down you total.

Great Job!!
Have you total recorded



Now you will switch roles while with your teammates
Once every teammate has a turn hand in your totals to the teacher 😊

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 rela

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.
