Can you create a robot or device that can communicate an answer to your partner? Students code a robot to communicate the answer to comparing two three-digit or two two-digit numbers to their partner. Students will need to complete a key to determine how they’re representing greater than, less than, and equal to.
This activity is designed to help students retell a story in sequence in a unique way using coding robots such as spheros and ozobots.
Students work collaboratively to research and record information about different spinoffs of space exploration. Using the information they find, students then write a script to be produced into a podcast or vodcast.
Students will learn about Katherine Johnson and how she overcame adversity to become the first African-American woman to go to space.
Students will create a weekly Podcast regarding a current or future technology based on research. Students will need to provide a typed summary and works cited page for teacher approval prior to creating the podcast. This is a great lesson for integration into the school news or class webpage.
Students will demonstrate knowledge of visible light interactions with different materials and through different mediums (air, solids, and water). Students will use Sphero Bolt to create a flashlight. The goal is to create the brightest light from the LED lights on the Sphero BOLT. Students will need to understand how light interacts with different substances to successfully create the brightest flashlight. They will also test their lights in water to see how waves change direction and speed in different mediums. The Light intensity will be measured using the function in google science journal.

These video cartoons illustrate 5 e-safety SMART rules and include a real life SMART Crew of young people, who guide the cartoon characters in their quest, and help them make safe online decisions. Chapter 1 focuses on what type of digital emails should be accepted, Chapter 2 focuses on reliable information, Chapter 3 focuses on keeping information safe, Chapter 4 focuses on telling on cyberbullies, and Chapter 5 focuses on being careful when meeting online friends. The cartoon video can be viewed in 5 chapter lessons or downloaded as an entire/whole video which is about 19 minutes. Excellent for students between 7 and 12 years of age.
In this lesson, students will work interactively through the Hyperdoc using the story Birth of an Anthem in their Wonders Literature Anthology. The lesson will begin with discussion about what an anthem is and how it could represent a country, place, etc while providing students with background knowledge of the Star Spangled Banner by watching the youtube link below. As students complete both readings of Birth of an Anthem, students will work through a hyperdoc focusing on various reading skills; identifying key ideas and details, summarizing, analyzing text structure (cause and effect).

Stacey’s original project was created for a 3rd grade lesson with students creating book summary graphics on Canva.com / This idea was remixed for 4th grade AIG and Library collaboration
In the AIG ELA classroom, students will read fiction books in their genre book study groups, as determined by the AIG coordinator. Throughout their reading, students will use Google Keep to manage notes and submit occasional check-in reflections using Google Classroom, with both the AIG coordinator and librarian available to read and respond to these reflection questions.
At the completion of their book, students will use their Google Keep notes and Classroom reflections to create a sharable artifact on a digital platform. Students will be given instruction for three separate digital tools that can be used for their summary: Canva for a graphic, Anchor for a podcast, and Flipgrid for a video.
In the digital artifact, students must include key details (no endings), character and setting descriptions, themes, as well as a “rating”. Students will create their artifact and present them in a digital gallery for other readers in the school to access from the library.
These are the slides that Cohort 1 folks utilized to generate ideas and make connections on 4/19/22.

This is REMIX with adding accessibility by headers and organize by numbers.These activities provide students with a way to explore the Christmas Truce of 1914 through multiple media. It lends itself to the exploration of many themes: War, Peace, Kindness, Globalism, Humanity. The discussion questions suggested here focus on the universality of the human experience. Although it uses a picture book as the anchor text, the activities could be used in middle and high school as well. The timing is flexible depending on the use of the discussion questions and how many tasks you choose to do.

Students will be able to identify key details from a well-known story, Click-Clack-Moo: Cows that Type by Doreen Cronin. Students will work collaboratively in a small group to use online resources to research and create their favorite scene from the story. Students will create a short written response expressing their opinion of what they enjoyed the most about their chosen part of the story with evidence to support their piece.English Language Arts, ISTE Student Standards for digital citizenship, and the NC Portrait of a Graduate Standard for creative problem-solving will all be included in this lesson. By using technology and age-appropriate tools, students design creative scenes while learning valuable digital citizenship skills.
Everyone can code! Have fun introducing coding to Life Skills classes using the Code and Go Mice!
