This week has been great for making progress. The peers in my group are fantastic and we have managed to decide on communicating through a Facebook group. This is so much easier for me as I can access the group and contribute through my phone wherever I am.
To begin with I had put forward my idea as Nutrition and health as the topic with a task overview and lesson plan ideas, everyone in the group liked my idea so that's what we are going with. We then decided to meet online regularly and allocate tasks to each of us so we could get started. My task is to create the lesson plans which I am excited about as I already have a lot of ideas running through my head. The other tasks assigned to the other group members have been broken down into
*creating the wiki (Jodie)
*student and teacher resources (Jenni)
*final presentation (Darleen) and
*curriculum, overview and content (Katie)
We have all agreed to contribute to each others task when we can.
My idea for the lesson plan is to have students work in groups to research healthy and non healthy foods in order to create a recipe. They will use technology to research and draft their findings on a poster. Using IPADS, students create an ebook and use the interactive whiteboard to present their recipe to the class which then gets voted on. The winner creates the front cover and all recipes are compiled to form the classroom cookbook, a real life authentic resource.
The whole idea of our learning resource is to provide students with a knowledge and understanding of healthy lifestyle choices whilst using a range of technologies. The knowledge gained can be carried on through to the rest of their lives and being able to make healthy lifestyle choices at a young age gives students a head start into life.In being able to look after their bodies, they are also nourishing the mind and spirit and in today's world where chemicals and preservatives are more common than ever, choosing the right foods to fuel your body is essential.
I am actually really excited about this assignment and everyone in my group is so helpful. We communicate well and take into consideration each others views and ideas. Everyone is eager to contribute and we have each made valid points in discussions that shows we are all learning something new. Group work is really rewarding and so beneficial in seeing other peoples points of view, I believe it has really helped me out in understanding other concepts and I am still discovering new ways with using technology, amazing!
