Module 4: Reflection of Learning

I really enjoyed developing a resource deposit for math instruction! I have used this website throughout my math instruction and it has been a great resource for students to use in class and at home. Parents also have reported that it has been useful in helping with homework. I plan to continue to build the resources that I have for the grade 5 curriculum. I have been compiling resources on my google classroom that I will eventually add to the website. I have also started building other sub-pages that are not shown within the navigation.

This picture shows what I am currently working on for my Class Website. These are the sub-pages not shown within the navigation. 

Here is a picture of one of the pages in my resource deposit. 

I have learned that resource deposits are extremely useful and I am looking forward to sharing this resource with my colleagues and seeing what resources they recommend to add. I also would like to build a resource deposit for other curriculum subjects within the grade 4 and 5 curriculum. I found Google Sites very user friendly and thought that it would be a wonderful idea to have students use this for a project. I came up with an idea where students could use Google Sites to blog about an area they would like to learn more about. Students would pick a topic that they are interested in for instant learning to draw cartoon characters, learning how to shoot a three pointer, learning a song on a musical instrument, learning how to play chess, any topic that they are interested in. They need to develop a learning goal for themselves and make it specific and complete weekly blogs about their learning. Each week they would be required to complete research on their skill, be given time to practice what they learned from their research, and time to record their learning and next steps. I am currently still working on developing this project for students and am excited to see what students will choose for their topics!

The following pictures are examples for students to use to help them create their learning blogs.
