Lesson 1:  Photo FUN
How to make cool wild fun looking pictures on their Pocket Technology and incorporating them into their writing?

Purpose: 

Students are to use their favourite app to create an awesome picture .These digitally transformed pictures are created to motivate the students to produce a more creative piece of writing.  Research indicates that students are more motivated to learn and will do a better job of writing by integrating Pocket Technology (PT) in a school based learning activity.  This use of PT motivates the students to have fun while learning and therefore create a better piece of writing.

Preparation:

The teacher will have to poll the students of the class to determine the multi device technology that is available to the students.  The teacher will also have to provide a letter informing the parents that their child if permitted to bring their PT to school to participate in a technology integration project.  The same form will also communicate to the parents a brief description of the activity, as well as, that the teacher is in fact asking the students to have their own personal devices with them each day during this project.
·         Take digital pictures of each child profile(this step was done by the teacher to facilitate and expedite the process-it is worth noting that the teacher can also instruct the students and then the students can take each others pictures)
·         Upload the pictures to a common drive for student access
·         Prepare an example of the before and after picture  as an example
·         Prepare an organization chart showing the different sentence fluency traits that we are learning
·         Download an app on the class provided PT enabling picture editing
·         Or share the photo using Discovery Education Network and class writing prompt feature

Materials:

·         Internet/wifi
·         Pocket Technology-with photo/camera
·         Program to digitally enhance images
·         Blackberry playbook as an example of the PT,  app used for an example is Wet Paint, or
·         Digital camera in case a student does not have a PT
·         Memory card
·         USB /SD card converter
·         Computers
·         Classroom tablet technology and pocket technology

Lesson:

I do:

1.       Using an LCD Projector, in a large group the teacher introduced a before and after example of how a cat looks like pre and post digitally changed
2.       Introduce how fun it is to transform a picture into something personal and creative
3.       Introduce how the transformed picture can evoke a series of more rich descriptive words that the student can reflect in a personal piece of writing
4.       Teacher begins to demonstrate this by drawing words out from the students that describe the photo in greater detail
5.       Teacher models
6.       Generate  3 sentences to describe the picture:  (non-fiction-facts based)
                                                               i.        I am a cat.
                                                             ii.      Cats are fun to play with because they will chase me.
                                                            iii.      Cats are soft and cuddly.
7.       Show students how to use the email option
8.       Show students where to put it on the S-drive

You do: 

1.       Students are able to use their PT to take a photo of themselves or of an object of interest
2.       Students are then asked to transform the picture as much as they want using an app
3.       Save the original and the changed photo
4.       Send the photos and the writing to the teacher via email
5.       Save the photos and writing to themselves using email
6.       Open email on computer to access and download the pictures onto their school server in their personal folder

We do:

1.       Students  will assist each other as needed acquiring the photo
2.       Students will problem solve any picture editing issues by collaborating with the peers
3.       Students will then use the picture they have created to begin a piece of writing describing the photo and non fiction facts or fiction
4.       Students will work together creating independent pieces of writing describing their digital image
5.       Students will save their digital work on the school server or send as an email attachment

We share:

1.       Students will share what device and app or program they used to manipulate the picture
2.       Students will present their original picture plus the modified one to the class
3.       Students will explain what features they used to alter the picture
4.       Student will share the finished piece of writing with the class electronically or printed on paper
5.       Teacher will collect the writing and pictures electronically to create a digital portfolio

Assessment: (Anecdotal)

·         See sentence fluency  assessment piece from book 6+1 Traits of Writing by Ruth Culham
·         Can students successfully take a picture?
·         Can students successfully find and manipulate a picture?
·         Was the student successfully able to alter the digital picture?
·         Did the picture evoke emotion?
·         Did the student successfully work with other students in a group?
·         Did the student come up with an original final image?
·         Did the student succeed at writing one great sentence or two which meets the sentence fluency criteria?
·         Did the student discover new skills integrating technology?

Differentiation:  Strategies

·         EPA support available
·         Activities can be scaffolded to meet the individual needs
·         Use co-writer  to assist students with writing their sentences  if they are having problems spelling the words
·         Use Kidspiration to make a an idea web (concept map) to structure and organize their ideas into a sentence
·          Teacher can assist with the use of PT to take the picture
·         One to one support to access the program needed to alter their picture
·         Teacher can provide a picture for the student to use
·         Teacher can provide additional time
·         Teacher can provide the opportunity for a lesser length of sentence
·         Teacher can scribe for the student
·         Teacher can further the activity by pushing another technology component such as a voice over recording of student reading their sentences

Dear Parent/Guardians,
Grade 2 students are going to be participating in an awesome series of digital projects incorporating the use of their Pocket Device (PD), such as IPod 4th gen.  The project will cover a multitude of learning outcomes and will be a fun way to learn some really cool digital art, writing techniques, as well as presenting and publishing certain pieces.  This project is to make their learning fun connecting what pocket devices they are using at home to learning in our 21st Century classroom.
If your child has a Pocket Device (PD) such as an IPod 4, or other device that has photo and video capture capability, with wifi capability, could you please make sure that there is a photo editing app installed on the device so that your child will be able to manipulate the picture on their PD such as Glow Draw found in the Apple App store, it is free.  The devices will also need to have a writing app enabling creation, editing and publishing of text such as Write 2 Lite from the Apple App store, it is free.
I am requesting that you permit your child to bring their picture taking device to school daily for the following week and continue to do so for the entirety of this project, so that we may be able to use the picture, video, and writing and web browsing features of their personal device.  Devices will be provided for students, as well as, collaborative groups shall be created to share the devices.
Thank you for your support!
