How do Clouds benefit our atmosphere

This short movie is a glimps of how clouds can benefit our atmosphere. The first two pictures demonstrate the clouds rising with the sun in the morning. The short clip displays the precipation and evporation of the clouds.The last two pictures illustrates the sun setting and the clouds are lowering with the sun. The clouds have different varities on benefiting our atmosphere.

Spreadsheet

Spreadsheet will be useful in the classroom for experiments, mathematics, or other subjects. This tool may be difficult for others, but with a little guidance the children will benefit from using spreadsheet. With the spreadsheet if the class assignment is science we will have a project. By collecting our data, and importing the data into a spreadsheet. With the data the classroom collected your classroom can form a graph. In mathematics using a pie graph can demonstrate the use of fractions.

What are clouds? Digital Storytelling Movie

This is my storyboard with the input data and my unit question. I started my project on What are Clouds? Then i thought about the project a little more. Than I decided to with how do clouds benefit our atmosphere. Some children wonder how do clouds form and what is their usage.

Unit question: What are clouds?

Unit question: What are clouds?

 

Point of View:  Tomie dePaola's children book "The Cloud Book" that characteristics on clouds. Also it demonstrates the catorgies of clouds. Gives the students an outline on how clouds are form, also the types of clouds. Reading 110.4.b.e listen responsively to stories and other texts read aloud, including selections from classic and contemporary works

 

A dramatic question: Where are some places that clouds appear?

 

Emotional Content: How the appearance of clouds can be a warning sign for bad weather that may be coming.

Slideshare

In the beginning slideshare was some what difficult, as you examine all the different tools in slideshare it become less difficult. This was my second powerpoint presentation that have done i had to rethink all the tools in powerpoint. Slideshare and powerpoint is great objective for students to learn different ways of learning. Instead of normal lectures and textbooks. The use of techology is used in a postive way, for example by inserting pictures, graphics, and music into your presentation. Making the lesson a little more interesting.

My unit plan is Life Cycle of Plants. By using the subjects of Mathematics, Language Arts, and Social studies the student could learn the different techniques in the life cycle of plants in three subject. In mathematics the student could how to construct a class garden, collect daily or weekly data of their garden. Language art the students can write a paper on the advantages and disadvantages of the class garden that the students observed during their project. My social studies lesson will be group project. The students will get in groups compare their data and make a graph, also have to make a presenation on the class garden.

The Warlick view

David Warlick is a author and well known blogger. He blogs and writes ideas that would help you develop a well rounded classroom. This is the link to David Warlick blog http://davidwarlick.com/2cents/.

Before I started this class I did not believe in blogging. Now that I have experienced blogging, and found good ways to express blogging in the classroom. Also during this course my peers could share the experiences they have had with blogging.

I believe blogging would have more participants in the classroom. The students could have a journal for their language arts class. Instead of writing their reflections in a sprial note book they could do them on the computer. More students enjoy being on the computer, with parents help they could make entries together. That would increase more parent and student involvement.
