End of the Semester!

I just wanted to say thanks for all of your hard work throughout the semester!

Hope that you both have a wonderful Christmas!!!

Final Concept Map

Final Concept Map

Kate - We need to post our final concept map on our blog! Opps!!!! :)

Progress

Stephanie- could you please send me that link to the last concept map you created and then I can revise it from there and I will post in on the main page. Also do you want to add our email for the project to the bottom on each page?

Also the podcast could go in the goals and outcomes box.

I have added my lessons and digit story.

I am also working on finding two more resources, however the first one I found I added under resources so need to go back and change that.

For the websites evaluations I have included them throughout the description on the page ' collection of recipes...' does that work?? I will find two other resources to go under the other some of the other pages maybe a video of etiquette and something else for another one of the pages.

How are we wanting to go about the standards and etc.?!?!?!

Thoughts?!

Website

Hi Stephanie

Thank you for outlining all that needs to be done. It was helpful to include everything in where it needs to go.

- I am finishing up the concept map


Things that I don't think need more information:
- e-pals --- looks fantastic


WHO HAS THE PODCAST --- MUST UPLOAD THAT!!! I was looking for it, but don't remember how we were all able to listen to it.

I was thinking we could put that in the last tab on the website and title the tab goals and objectives since our podcast covers all of that information and talk about our final cookbook and how all of our lessons lead up to that. 

WEBSITE!

Hey group...

I am getting frustrated. I have been working on the website, trying to get it finished by Sunday. It is very difficult to work on it by myself though. I need to you both to please upload things, so I have an idea of what everyone is working on and we can actually get this thing done.

We have to post our 3 reviewed websites somewhere on our site, along with new websites that also deal with some concepts. We need a list of Standards and a Final Concept Map. Everything, our lessons, digital story, and podcast, need to be uploaded too, but they have to be placed in a spot that makes sense.

I have started a rough draft of everything, kind of outlining where things need to go, but I still need your help. I need you to upload things and contribute to this website. I can't do it without you, and we only have two more days until it is due.

Website

Hi there,

We have a couple weeks left to create our final project for the semester. However we should get started now. Is there a way we are wanting to split up the project or how to tackle it.

Suggestions?! Has anyone created a website before?

Katie

My video will be on diabetes.

Digital Story

I am doing my digital story on food allergies.

Digital Story

I just wanted to let you know that I'm doing my digital story on table etiquette and manners. :)

Revised Concept Map 2

Here is our concept map 2...sorry if it's hard to read. Please let me know if I need to add anything. :)

Revised Concept Map

Hey Group - I just wanted to know what we wanted to revise for our concept map. I am more than happy to redo it and post it again, but I need some feedback and suggestions from you! :) I'm really not sure what to add...do we need to make it more specific?

Lessons

Hello Ladies,

I am just checking in with everyone --- what is everyone thinking for their lessons?!

Kate

Podcast Script

So I created a Google document for our Podcast script. Since we need to approve of each other's parts, I felt if would be easier if it was just one document. I sent it to you, Kate, but Bethany...I still have not received your Google e-mail address. I need it to give you access.
I have also written my part of the script, the info part on PBL. I wrote it like I was a teacher who was talking to parents. Please let me know what you think, and if I should make any changes.
Thanks! :)

Podcast #2

Here is what I was thinking for what each of us could do (from what was suggested online)

1. why you are using Project-based Learning
2. talk about what has been done so far
3. where you are headed

Two strategies from the book
1.
2.

** Not sure on the strategies does anyone have any ideas as to what we could use?

Also, who wants each job??

Kate

Podcast

Hi,

What are each of you wanting to focus on for your podcast part? Also, who is wanting to combine all of our podcasts together. I would say that they all need to be done by Friday night / Saturday morning to combine them all.

Lessons

Hi Ladies,

I looked at our concept map and I am going to chose to do a lesson on writing recipes.

Does that work with everyone?

Virtual Penpals

Google Map

View Our ePals in a larger map This is an idea of the map we could use including all of the countries we listed in the google document that the students will write to. What do you think, what needs to be fixed?

Google Document

I just created a very rough draft of the google document that we needed to create for our assignment this week. It has to be a detailed summary of what are students will be doing for their project, and how they will communicate with other students in another country. I tried to put it so you can see it and edit it, but let me know if you can't access it.
Bethany...I need your e-mail address to give you access to it.
Please feel free to add things to it or delete things....like I said, it is a very rough draft. :)

Next Assignment

Hey Group...I was just looking at our next assignment. We need to create an assignment for our students to learn about a different region; they need to be able to compare and contrast things. I was thinking that we could do a different region in the US or in a completely different country. I thought that it would be cool to have our students discuss food, obliviously, with another student. They could compare and contrast things that are grown around where they live, what they eat for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, etc... I thought that the students could exchange a special family recipe with their web-penpal. Our "students" could then put their family and their penpals family recipes into the classroom cookbook.
What are other ideas?

Evaluations

I am going to put all three website evaluations on the same worksheet, and then that way it comes time to combine them all if we all put them on one sheet it would be easier. Am I understanding it correctly that all sites evaluated need to be on one sheet to turn in?

My evaluations are done, how are we wanting to combine them all?

Web Reviews 3

I picked these websites:
   * http://www.brighthubeducation.com
   * http://ecommerce.nsta.org/enewsletter/2005-08/sc0401_24.pdf
   * http://www.kids-cooking-activities.com/international-gourmet-recipes.html

Web Reviews 2

I am going to take a look at these websites tonight and check their validity, etc:

Web reviews

I used

http://www.cde.ca.gov/ls/nu/he/cookwithkids.asp

http://whatscookingwithkids.com/

and

http://www.nourishinteractive.com/

for my web reviews. 

Websites

I was just wondering what you both wanted to do for our website evaluations. I was thinking that instead of all three of us finding and researching similar websites that deal with the same issues, maybe we could each focus on a couple specific topics that we would like to cover and find websites that pertain to those issues. For example, one of us could search for health and nutrition sites and another could find more information on gathering recipes and making a classroom cookbook. I figure that we all research different things and learn a lot of information about just a few different topics, then we can come together at the end with a much stronger project. Let me know what you were thinking and what you would like to research. I'm pretty much open for anything! :)

Concept Map B

I can't get it any bigger without it taking over the page.  You should be able to follow this link to a read-only copy.

I'm happy with either map submitted.  

Concept Map Part A

Concept Map

With our fundraising idea in the middle of the concept map we can branch off with the following:

- cultural
- nutritiion
- smart food choices
- chopped kids
- kids create recipes
- measurements
- table etiquette & manners
- writing recipes
- create recipe book to sell

Direction for project

Hi there...

I just thought that I would get started and see what we wanted to accomplish with this project. I like the ideas that we have so far...some type of children's food education and experimentation with a community fundraiser. I feel like we should have some focus on nutrition and healthy choices, and I think that it would be great if we had students creating recipes and making a classroom cookbook too.

Is there anything specific that we need to cover? Is there anything else that we want to cover?
