Objective+1

====This wiki was created for one of my 1st grade students who is evaluated by the Alabama Alternate Assessment (AAA). This assessment is for students in special education who do not take the typical Alabama assessments. One of the areas is science and recycling is one of the general education topics taught in 1st grade that is also taught for the AAA. The standards for this objective are:====

Science Extended Standard 1.3: Identify items to be recycled.

 * General Education Standard 1.10 Describe uses of recycled materials. || SCI. ES 1.3 Identify items to be recycled. || (4) || * Identify reasons for recycling ||
 * ^  ||^   || (3) |||| * Identify items to be recycled ||
 * ^  ||^   || (2) |||| * Sort items that can be recycled (example: paper & cans) ||
 * ^  ||^   || (1) |||| * Participate in recycling activities ||

Due to the ability levels of my students, a teacher or paraprofessional would sit with a student and show him the Recycling materials. Although he might not be able to truly navigate the Wiki, he would enjoy the colorful pictures and the game links. This student's goal is 1.3.1: Participate in recycling activities. For a few of my other students, they would be able to play the games and one student could type on the list of items if one of us spelled the word for him.All would enjoy the music and videos posted.

__**WEB 2.0 RESOURCES**__

These are the Web 2.0 Resources I used to create materials to use for my students on weather preparedness. The standards addressed are from the Alabama Extended Standards that are taught to Alabama's special education students to prepare them for the Alabama Alternate Assessment (AAA). The standards addressed are:

Science Extended Standard 3.3 Identify appropriate response to a specific weather phenomena. 3.3.1 Participate in preparation for different weather phenomena 3.3.2 Imitate appropriate response to specific weather phenomena 3.3.3 Identify appropriate response to specific weather phenomena 3.3.4 Describe preparation for different weather phenomena

This standard is connected to Science 3.12 in general education standards.

The Web 2.0 Resources I used were Concept Map, Animoto, Class Tools, and Glogster. The concept map gives a picture with as many "bubbles" as needed to explain a concept. It is what most teachers refer to as a graphic organizer. Animoto enables you to create a short video on your subject matter. Class Tools is a games creator site that you supply the content so the students can play to learn. Glogster is probably the most creative resource. You use it to design an online poster about your subject matter.

I am not sure which is my favorite. I will probably use the concept map again and I thought it was easier to use. It took quite a while for me to learn how to create with Glogster, Animoto, and Class Tools. For actually using with my students, Class Tools or Glogster would have to be my favorites. With Glogster I was able to embed a video and provide links related to weather that the students can click. It was easier to find these videos and links that were on the level for my students. Glogster allows you to change text, add graphics, move things around, find pictures, etc. With the specific Glog I created, it could be used for a few weeks with students as they explore the graphics and links related to weather.
