Other Website Creation Tool
Content Area/Grade/Standards/Topics Addressed: Covers all content/standards and will be used for
communication and flipped classroom assignments
Brief Description of Learning Experience: The blog will be introduced at the beginning of the school
year. It will be used for engaging learning through flipped classroom assignments, video files, and audio
files. It will serve as a communication and reference tool. Caregivers, friends, and family of the students
can view what the class has posted.

Remembering Understanding Applying Analyzing Evaluating Creating (Listed: All)
Student Engagement: Which indicators of Engaged Learning area strong and why? (See Engaged
Learning and Authenticity handouts distributed earlier this semester.)
Level of Technology Implementation (LoTi): All LoTi levels will be used while using the blog. When
playing the games listed on the blog, they will be implementing awareness. They will also be implementing
exploration, infusion, and integration because higher levels of Blooms Taxonomy will be addressed on the
blog.
Importance of technology: The blog would be important to the students and caregivers because it will be a
reference for classwork/homework that was given that day, flipped classroom assignments will be given to
help with instruction the following days, resources will be available, communication available, and
educational games accessible. Without the blog many educational experiences would be lost.
Internet Safety and Student Privacy: Each parent/caregiver will need to sign a consent form stating that
their child is allowed to view the blog and participate in the activities on the blog. I also have a monitored
comments setting where I will personally review each comment before allowing it to post.
Describe your personal learning goal for this activity. My personal goal for this activity is to inspire my
students to learn. I want each childs learning experience to benefit from having a new and exciting way to
engage in activities. I want the blog to be helpful for the classroom to run smoothly by offering resources
and communication options.
Other comments about your proposed activity: The blog will be used throughout the school year to keep
the students/parents/caregivers updated and will include fun activities that the students can participate in to
improve their learning experience.
