Tech Plan

My Technology Integration Project is designed as part of a 3rd grade Language Arts unit. I decided to put a new spin on a very traditional assignment, by asking students to create a “digital book report” using a new medium, VoiceThread. Students will work in small groups to create a short synopsis of the story, detailing the specific literary elements (e.g.: character, setting, plot, etc.) along with a review of the book itself. Once the VoiceThreads are complete they will be compiled into a wiki that both students and parents will have access to.

The project aims to meet the following expectations:

Grade Level Content Expectation - Reading Comprehension

R.CM.03.02 retell in sequence the story elements of grade-level narrative text and
major idea(s) and relevant details of grade-level informational text.

Michigan Educational Technology Standard – Technology Communication Tools

By the end of Grade 5 each student will use a variety of media and formats to create and edit products (e.g., presentations, newsletters, brochures, web pages) to communicate information and ideas to various audiences.
