Greening Up Student Tasks - Ongoing Ideas for Transforming Learning for Kids

Now that your brains, creativity and collaborative thinking has warmed up, share your BEFORE (a G00d task assignment) and AFTER (a now GREENER and Greater task assignment) ideas increasing the quality of student work both in content as well as craftsmanship.

Play the good to great game by describing the task prior to the workshop experiences and the ideas you have now generated for GREENING it UP! Wherever your ideas start - no problem just join the challenge of greening IT up even more by using the template providing a compare and contrast approach to sharing. Feel free to consider this creative space an ongoing BEFORE/AFTER task even after our time together. This will enable us to continue learning from each other.

Begin with your team names.Now describe the BEFORE and AFTER using the following template - that way we can celebrate what IT looked like before and how it morphed into an even greener (ta da!) GREAT!

  • I enjoyed all of the activities. I sure that it will assist me in inspecting what I expect from my teachers.

  • It's very clear to me after looking at a variety of products that content and design must compliment each other to have a final product that is a "wow".

  • Science: Students design a digital lesson or review for absent students or for test review. Use a gallery walk for additional review.

    Science: Find examples of content in real life and import for your own use.

  • For Language Arts: 1) Use Garage Band to compose a song or rap summarizing a novel or story. 2) Use Comic Life to produce an alternate ending to a story OR stop them mid-story and create a comic on what might happen next to practice predicting and visualizing.

  • Language Arts Teachers - Create a book talk folder. Students would create a book "preview" using iMovie following along the lines of a movie preview/trailer. Students would then drop these movies into a shared folder to facilitate the creation of a "Book Preview Library". The hopes of creating this shared folder of projects would be to help students find books based on their particular interests or topics.

  • For foreign language Spanish: 1) Create an advertisement for a cultural location in a foreign city.

    2) Write a persuasive story on the needs of a Latin American country (A pretend contest: Why they should win money)

    3) Use comic life to create dialogs.

  • 1. Design a digital lesson to teach the main ideas of a unit to a student who was absent. Use these lessons in a gallery walk format for review.

    2. Using digital photography locate real-life examples of content discussed in class. Could be used as a review before a test.

  • Teaming up with elementary- have students create lesson (math, science etc.) to help imporove self esteem.

  • Language Arts Teachers!! - Have students write a how-to/demonstration speech. Students will research topics, to discover the history and importance of what they are going to instruct us on how to do! Students will then storyboard their research findings, the process, demonstration of the activity, and connections/conclusions. This will be done in small groups using iMovie. Each student will have a particular task/role within their groups. Groups will be responsible for bringing together all parts of their speeches in a seamless, fluid production.
