Introduction   -  

Glogster is a social network that allows users to create free interactive posters, or Glogs. A "Glog", short for "graphics blog", is an interactive multimedia image. It looks like a poster, but readers can interact with the content. Our lesson will consist of training 5th grade students at Progreso I.S.D. to use glogster to enhance any project. 

BRICK 1   -  

Describe the intended learner:

The Progreso Independent School District is a Title I school located in south Texas with primarily a Hispanic population. The 5th grade class consists of 175 students. Out of those 175, 80 are labeled Limited English Proficient (LEP) and about 35% commute on a daily basis from Mexico. While the district administrators are great advocates on ways of enhancing each child's learning, it is extremely hard to accomplish. Like in many other districts, educators are always looking for ways to engage, enhance and motivate the learning process and introduce them to a different tool for learning that they might not have access to in their home environment. After discussing within our groups and listing previous lessons that we have done and have proven to engage our learners we decided our intended learners to be all 5th grade students in the Progreso Independent School District whom will be trained on using Glogster.

BRICK 2   -  

Describe the locale and situation in which your learner will access the instruction:

The learning will take place in the campus computer lab. The lab is equipped with 25 desk computers that have internet access and are preprogrammed for students. Each computer will already have a short cut icon on the desktop for quick access to Glogster. There will be a Professional Educator and Paraprofessional monitoring the learning process. TLW need to have average computer skills in order to login, access the internet and follow directions. The students have all been taking a computer class since 4th grade and should have the foundation on basic computer skills.

BRICK 3   -  

Describe the locale and situation in which your learner will use the instruction:

The learner will be able to incorporate using Glogster throughout all subjects. Glogster is a way of enhancing any given project. The learner will also be able to use this tool outside of the classroom environment as long as they have access to a computer and internet. For example, if they are running for student council or a specific club. Our district includes an Early College Campus and our students begin to interview by 6th grade, this tool will be a great way to show off their creativity.

BRICK 4   -  

Write a specific instructional objective(s) including the three components of a behavioral objective:

With the use of Glogster, 5th grade students from Progreso ISD will create rich media digital posters, by implementing several media tools including, graphics, video and links without any assistance.  

BRICK 5   -   

Describe the assessment(s):

The instructional unit facilitates an authentic learning experience where the learner does create a product and invites spectators to view that product. The learner will have different assessmenst that will indicate if the performance objectives have been satisfied, including:

Entry Skill Pre Assessment:

The intent of this assessment is to activate prior knowledge of various instructional strategies as well as interactive application processes. The assessment will measure both prerequisite skills and entry skills. The assessment will be given twice, once prior to instruction and after instruction.
