Today's Meet

I put my main focuses in this standard in bold. English Language Arts 5th grade, Standard 8:

Explain how an author uses reasons and evidence to support particular points in a text, identifying which reasons and evidence support which point(s).

There were not specific objectives with this standard, but the standard itself made for the perfect question for the discussion. It gives students the opportunity to come up with the information and have their own personal input, and see others views and opinions as well.

Ed-Tech Standard 7: Use telecommunications and on-line resources (e.g., email, online discussions, web environments) to participate in collaborative problem-solving activities to develop solutions or products for audiences inside and outside the classroom. (4, 5)

Reflection: Today’s Meet is an easy tool for teachers to use in their classroom. It is a creative way for students to collaborate and voice their answers, and view others to gain new ideas and build a stronger knowledge of the topic. This is the kind of tool that I would have liked to have in grade school so that I could collaborate with the other students, and see what their answers were. All the work the students really have to do to use this tool, is have access to a computer, open the link that is given to them, and answer the prompt. This online tool can be used for any grade, so long as the question is written for their grade level, and they have some typing knowledge. I am glad that I now know about this tool, it is one that I would like to use often in my classroom.
