Describe how you would incorporate an Online Project/Collaboration Site/Publishing Opportunity in your
classroom:
I can incorporate an Online Publishing Opportunity for students to partake in. The students will work
independently to write an original story or poem. Students will go beyond just writing a story on paper
because the students will use an Online Publishing site, KidPub, to post their original writing pieces. The
students will be encouraged to read other stories from other students from around the world. This lesson
activity is designed to provide the students with authentic learning opportunities as they work with
technology to post their work online.
What technologies would be required to implement this proposed learning activity in a classroom?
To complete this learning activity, students would need access to a computer or tablet. Students can
create and write their stories on paper before typing them onto the publishing area of KidPub. Students
should review their work carefully before publishing online.
Describe how the following features are addressed in this learning experience (note: all of them may not be
addressed in the project, but most should be if you are reaching a high LoTi Level).
a. Collaboration with peers, near-peers, mentors outside their classroom and often beyond their
school: Students will collaborate with peers, mentors, and others outside of their school once they
publish their work to the publishing site. Readers of the students’ original work can leave comments
for the students to read.
b. Student-centered learning and knowledge creation (creating original data and or producing original
products as a result of engaging in a project): Students are utilizing technology to display personal
knowledge through writing products. The original writing pieces created by the students will be
displayed on the publishing website.
c. Higher-order thinking: Students will use higher-order thinking skills while thinking creatively when
working on their writing pieces. Students should rely on personal creativity to help them complete
their original products.
d. Students publishing their original work to others who will use/care about their product: The KidPub
website is viewed by individuals from around the world, so students from around the world can read
writing pieces that are information and relevant to what they are learning.
