Our Project - Final




Multicultural Education & Social Networking
EDUC 7207 X


Lesson Plan: Character Education/Social Networking

Interactions:
1.     Class Introduction: Students will be asked to introduce themselves as a class. The class will be divided into groups and asked to focus on assigned topics such as: town culture, school culture, curriculum, social outlet, and extracurricular activities. The students will create a Google document for each of the topics; this document will be posted to our introductory blog. The students are permitted to post additional comments and pictures when appropriate. The partnering class will be creating a class introduction blog as well.

2.     The students will complete a survey based on social media. The results of this survey will generate ideas, questions and beliefs in response to social media. The students will report out on the survey results in a discussion on the class blog. http://www.afb.org/Section.asp?Mode=Survey&SurveyID=102

3.     The students will read and respond to the article "Kids and Social Networking: Pros and Cons". They will correspond with the partnering class to create a discussion based on their opinion on our blog.
