Learning Design to Standards Using ISTEÂ Â
Learning Design Summary
In the video, a computer science teacher incorporates history into her middle school classroom. After speaking with her students’ history teachers and discovering the different world landmarks that the students are learning about in their history classes, she tasks her students with the assignment of recreating a model of those landmarks using Minecraft. After learning about the landmarks and seeing pictures of them, the students will use Minecraft to build the structures block by block.
ISTE Standard
This project aligns with ISTE student standard 6c which states: Students communicate complex ideas clearly and effectively by creating or using a variety of digital objects such as visualizations, models, or simulations. The project aligns with this standard because the students are taking different monuments and landmarks that have historical importance and creating models of those landmarks. These models could be used to provide clear and effective representation of those landmarks to an audience, thus communicating relevant knowledge about the history of our world.
Content Standard
This project aligns with the Louisiana Student Standard for Computer Science: M.DA.4A. Utilize tools and techniques to locate, collect, and create visualizations of large-scale data sets.
My Learning Design
using the Backward Design approach
In this activity, students will create a one-page, digital infographic analyzing a character from The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis Students will conduct thorough research from the novel to determine traits of the character, key events/experiences involving the character, how the character connects to a theme in the text, and how the character changes or develops over the course of the novel. They will publish this information on a creative infographic and showcase it to their peers and teacher.
