Module 4

[Troy Wiggins]

Here's my work for the Module 4 Badge:

My reflection can be found here:  https://tewiggins.wordpress.com/2015/06/28/the-challenges-of-online-content-construction-a-reflection/

My lesson plan using online content construction is here:  https://tewiggins.wordpress.com/sample-unit-khmer-rouge/sample-lesson-online-content-construction-us-constitution-review/

I decided to base a lesson around Kahoot as I described as a potential alternative in an earlier module.  That earlier lesson used more traditional task (research and present) with basic online tools, but this lesson plan, while fun and not on genocide this time, will use a stronger online tool where the collaboration could all happen virtually.  I've used it with students, and it is far more successful than some traditional reviews or group projects.  I've had students take tremendous pride in their Kahoot creations, and when I do this lesson, I would use student feedback to continue finding more fun and collaborative ways for students to really make something.  I would also encourage students to play with the survey and discussion functions of Kahoot, and I could learn along with them.

Good work Troy.

I like the connection to the students and their hobbies. I think this is a nice way to connect back, and provide opportunities for them to express themselves. I also appreciate the willingness to have students create and share their own questions.

Badge awarded.
