INTEGRATION IDEA - PORTFOLIOS

How might you use this resource in a lesson plan to promote student-centered learning?

This can be resourceful because during projects on specific topics, students can save websites they
received their sources and can than share with other students who have the same topics or with
teachers to get approval of the source. This allows the students to not only help one another but share
ideas and web resources.

VALUE-ADDED EXPLANATION
Based on the value-added rating scale above, how would you rate the technology integration
you described, using the selected resource?
Explain your rating based on the rubric indicators.

Based from the ratings I can see Symbaloo as a rating of a 1. I can see this as a one because I can see
this as a helpful way to navigate the students into the correct directions of what websites will be used
during the year or the websites that are most useful when doing certain projects/writings. Students can
also use this heavily because it give them the easy access of having all the websites they use most often
handy and being able to connect with other students and share resources.
