Usability: Limited (1)
Please see above comments relative to clarity to determine the score for this section of the evaluation on this rubric.

Clarity: Limited (1)
It is very busy. There are so many resources available within this resource and the lesson description is very broad. It might be helpful to have the overview revised to more succinctly describe the lesson. The addition of Google Earth is an excellent tool for engaging all students in 21st century classrooms.
There are also so many standards aligned to this resource that it would be most helpful if it were scaled back to include a maximum of three standards specifically in ELA and Social Studies.
on Jul 01, 02:49pm Evaluation
Motivation: Superior (3)
There are multiple learning modalities addressed within this resource, but it is up to the individual instructor or instructors (if this is a co-teaching setting) to determine if it is appropriate for their students. Overall, I believe students will thoroughly be engaged and their curiosity will be indulged in this resource.

Accessibility: Strong (2)
As noted in my comments for the reliability aspect above, this is a conversation to be had with a technology facilitator and it could also include a conversation with an EC teacher to determine what precise accommodations are required for individual students so they may show mastery of the topics covered in this resource.

Reliability: Strong (2)
I cannot assert that the technology function will perform as intended when it is used in a presentation. This is a topic for the instructor and a technology facilitator to engage in to determine the accessibility of these resources.
on Jul 01, 02:49pm Evaluation
Appropriateness: Limited (1)
I did not see any attention to the specific explicit instruction or presentation of key vocabulary addressed in this resource. I will need to go back and review this aspect to answer it more directly and concisely. I think there needs to be more explicit teacher facilitation in the form of modeling/explanation of the concepts in this topic. I also believe there needs to be a consideration to not include so many standards. Assigning a maximum of three standards in the core areas of ELA and Social Studies would be more than appropriate and sufficient for the target audience.

Purpose: Superior (3)
The Google Earth link was excellent and prove engaging and entertaining to this age demographic of 2nd/3rd grade. They will enjoy the interactive aspect of Google Earth as it relates to the background building of the selected folktales.
on Jul 01, 02:49pm Evaluation
Adequacy: Strong (2)
There needs to be a more explicit model for the activities provided in the Resource Library in order for students to produce a more accurate understanding and response of the objectives in this lesson. Again, there are many ways in which this resource can align to multiple standards in the NC Curriculum; however, the number of the standards needs to be scaled back.
on Jul 01, 02:49pm Evaluation
Accuracy: Limited (1)
Although it is important for teachers to have clearly delineated expectations in the overview and descriptors of the activities, the course overview is very text heavy and could benefit from a revision to simplify and streamline the text. This would also aid in the presentation to students.
on Jul 01, 02:49pm Evaluation
Engagement: Strong (2)
This resource clearly promotes collaboration, communication, and creativity. Because of the targeted age demographic, the critical thinking aspect will need to be teacher facilitated and led to help students arrive at an appropriate level of critical thinking.
