__Reflection__:

Not only does Lesson Plan 2.0 put a technology spin on the "basic" lesson plan, it promotes creativity, innovative thinking, and engages student learning. Students will be creating their own digital storybook corresponding to the story of the week. The teacher will then post their work on a classroom blog page and students will be encouraged to answer the 3 corresponding questions to their creation by posting a response. This lesson gives students an opportunity to collaborate with, not only, teachers but with their peers. The classroom blog page, also, is an excellent tool for "displaying" their work virtually for their parents' and or caregivers' to refect on their progress/growth. The link for lesson 2.0 and a student digital storybook sample used for this lesson is above.

During Graduate School, we were assigned to complete a Ubiquity Project that required hetrogenious groups to collaborate together virtually. With the use of Webspiration, we were able to work asynchronously create a mind map of our personal views in regard to technology's use in school, as well as technology's use out of school. We then had to share with our fellow colleagues and professors by posting to our class Wikispace.
