Prompts/Guidelines for web 2.0 website tool profiles.
NOTE: Your paragraphs should be robust and not wimpy. Shoot for meaty, detailed, and in-depth writing that shows all and not just some of your ideas in a complete manner.
| These profiles are in YOUR VOICE and YOUR OWN WORDS! It is not appropriate to use AI (copy/paste) to write these. AI is fine to get ideas but the final narrative needs to be in your own words. If you choose to use copy/paste or "loose summarization", even with "citing" the AI tool, you will receive a 0 for this part of the assignment. |
- (1 paragraph of 3 -4 sentences) DESCRIPTION:
Describe with concrete details and examples what the tool is and what it can do.
- (3 *robust* paragraphs) APPLICATION TO TEACHING:
This is the section that shows you know how to use the tool in *your* classroom. Included the following in this section:
- Include with descriptions and examples 3-4 specific ways that teachers and students could use the tool in the classroom to support teaching and learning and, if applicable, other "teacher work" such as professional development, communication with families, etc.
- At least one of these ideas for using the tool must be tied to social-emotional learning (e.g., building class community, supporting students' confidence and self-esteem, sharing one own's identity and culture).
- At least one of the 3-4 ideas must tie to the curriculum and include (copy/paste is fine) a standard from a curricular area (e.g., Math, Social Studies, ELA) preferably one for the students in your current classroom. The standard must also have a lesson idea.
