wikispaces

Many of the project based learning projects that I have written were enhanced by using a wikispace. There are many Internet registry sites that allow for teachers to find other teachers all over the world to collaborate on these projects. The [|Global SchoolNet]is one of these sites. || ) [|NYS P-12 Common Core Learning Standards for English Language Arts and Literacy]p 21 Meets Informational Text: 1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10 [|New York City Science Scope and Sequence]p 6 Plant Diversity: LE 3.lb, LE 2.1a, LE 1.lb, LE 5.2a || NETS Standards for Administrators Meets Informational Text: 1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10 [|New York City Social Studies Scope and Sequence] Unit 1: Native Americans: First Inhabitants of New York State 1.1a, 1.3a, [|New York City Science Scope and Sequence] Unit 1: The Nature of Science safely and accurately use the following measurement tools,graduated cylinder and thermometer || This wikispace was created by me for Grover Cleveland High School in conjunction with training I provided.

 * PS 14 Grade 5 Core Curriculum Bundle/Data Inquiry Wikispace || PS14 Grade 5 Data Inquiry I participated in the fifth grade data inquiry team at PS 14. I helped the teachers plan and execute the Core Curriculum bundles and created a wikispace to organize the lessons and resources- for both math and reading. I created all of the kid friendly rubrics, used the Danielson's Depth of Knowledge and found website resources for each bundle. || [|Core Curriculum Bundle Landing Page]   [|New York State P-12 Common core Learning Standards for ELA and Literacy]   ELA: Informational Text: 1, 2, 4,6,7,8,9, 10   [|New York State P-12 Common Core Learning Standards for Mathematics]   Math: p 32   Number and Operations, 5.NF,  *  Use equivalent fractions as a strategy to add and subtract fractions  * Apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication and division to multiply and divide fractions ||
 * The Real Story of the First Thanksgiving || The Real Story of the First Thanksgiving   This fourth grade project focused on the real story of the first Thanksgiving. It was very different than the story we often hear. Students learn from digital movies embedded on the wikispace, the pilgrims' first real recipes, and then write journals based on what they learned. Again, this project was advertised on the Global SchoolNet as well as E-Pals and a school in Connecticut collaborated with the teachers/students from PS 14 in Queens. The recipes were added by both schools. Afterwards students researched how pilgrims made butter and did themselves. They learned that the pilgrims' plight was very different than our own.  || ISTE- NETS 1-6 [|NYS P-12 Common Core Learning Standards for English Language Arts and Literacy] p 21
