Innovative Designer


Innovative Designer: 4a
The ISTE standard for this lesson is Innovative Designer section 4a  With this standard the students know and use a deliberate design process for generating ideas, testing theories, creating innovative artifacts or solving authentic problems.  I compiled this lesson to meet SC K.G.2 which states for Kindergarten students are to identify and describe a given shape and shapes of objects in everyday situations to include two-dimensional shapes (i.e., cones cube cylinder, and sphere).

 


This project will allow students use a variety of technologies within a design process to identify and solve problems by creating new, useful or imaginative solutions.  The students will build a house using an app on an iPad.  The students will have to create a house where they will live with their family and pet(s).  The geographic location will have weather containing a lot of rain and snow.  They are to create their house to uphold the weather conditions as well as being a pet owner (hint: a dog will run out of the yard if they are not fenced in).  Their house must contain the following 2D and 3D shapes: circle, rectangle, cone, triangular prism, cube, and square.




Below is a sample of the lesson:





                                            Select “Skills” once you are on the website





Next you will select “Build A House” “Make a House” icon







This is where you will create your house




*** REMINDER ***
Your house must contain the following 2D and 3D shapes:

circle, rectangle, cone, triangular prism, cube, and square.



Once you are finished creating your house save it

Clicking the “Save” button and put “your name” as the file name



Great Job!!







Innovative Designer: 4d

The ISTE standard for this project is Innovative Designer section 4d. With this standard, the students exhibit a tolerance for ambiguity, perseverance and the capacity to work with open-ended problems. I compiled this lesson to meet SC K.G.1 - describe positions of objects by appropriately using terms, including below, above, beside, between, inside, outside, in front of, or behind.
 
This project will allow students use a variety of technologies within a design process to identify and solve problems by creating new, useful or imaginative solutions.  The students will construct different geometric shaped buildings using shapes.  The students will demonstrate their understanding of positioning of objects by placing the shapes in the appropriate positions.  With doing these project/activities the students will show their tolerance for ambiguity, perseverance and capacity to work with open-ended problems as they progress through the different structures.  This will definitely test their mental abilities.  The students will access the app via the internet on iPads.   They will create geometric shaped buildings using shapes.  The students will position objects appropriately by placing them below, above, beside, between, inside, in front of, or behind to create the final project.


Sample of Project:    



Select “Skills” once you are on the website







Next you will select “Shape Construction” icon







Select the Green Arrow






Press the Red “Start” button







Select and drag the orange shapes to position 



 

Placing them below, above, beside, between, inside,

in front of, or behind to create the final project





Once you reached the screen you are finished!!

Once you are finished sit quietly and raise your hand

Great Job!!

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.
