This artifact reflection will focus on the collaborative task activity we did in Module 7. In this activity we were directed to change up an activity we previously used and make it more collaborative in nature. This was to be done using a digital tool. We also needed to develop a rubric for the assignment including a collaborative descriptor.
I chose to use an activity focusing on the Southeast region of the United States where the students are asked to compare resources of the Southeast to previously studied regions of the country. The collaborative component I chose to include was for the students to create a Twiddla, which is online whiteboard for project presentations. This site allows for groups to upload pictures, either from the web or drawn freehand. Generally, the previous assignment did not use an online component for presentation purposes.
Completing this project helped me to see the benefits of adding collaborative practices and products to an assignment. This directly relates to the SAMR model of integrating technology to make lessons more effective and engaging.
