My lesson plan taught students digital citizenship by having them play a board game. The game we created used situational questions to teach students about how to be a proper digital citizen. Incorporating a standard specific board game into our lesson plan was effective because it gave students a fun way to learn about digital citizenship. It was engaging because it brought out students competitiveness. It was efficient because while students play the game, I am able to spend time focusing on the kids who need more help. It enhanced our lesson plan because it will make the use of mine and the students time, more effective.

My Computational Thinking lesson plan used an online game, original board game, and a kahoot to teach students what an algorithm is. Our lesson plan was effective because it used multiple different teaching styles to reach the students. It is engaging because two of the ways are games, which is exciting for students. The lesson is efficient because the ending assessment is a quizlet test, which means I will get immediate feedback on how the students did. The lesson enhances my classroom because it gives students a chance to have some fun in my classroom.

Infographic Badge |
Piktochart is a website that allows educators to create a personalized infographic. I used my infographic to teach students how to stay safe on the internet. It is effective because it gives students only the most important information. It is engaging because it allows you to add cute graphics that draw students attention. It is efficient because it gives the students all the information on one sheet, rather than going through a powerpoint. It will enhance my classroom because students will be able to keep these infographics with them, which means they will be more informed on topics.

Smore Badge |
Smore is a website that educators can use to create online newsletters. I used Smore to create an open house newsletter, giving parents basic information about the school year. Smore is effective because it is an easy way for parents to access all the important information at once. It is engaging because it has pleasing visuals and shows pictures of me. Smore is efficient because it is very easy to use and navigate. It enhances my classroom because it is a fun way to handout sometimes boring information.
