Summary of Online Learning Experience
October, 5th, 2014
and lastly, (5) the students will read and comprehend literature, including stories,
dramas, and poems, in the grades 6-8 text complexity band proficiently, with
scaffolding as needed at the high end of the range.
Learning Outcomes:
The learning outcomes will be evident to the parents and the students since
they will be posted on the class syllabus. I think its important to have them on the
syllabus at the beginning to show importance and having the outcomes visible for
the student and parent allows them to set goals for them self and see what is
expected in the course. The student will be able to (TSWBA) understand and
evaluate the elements of poetry and the various formats that poetry is written, they
will be able to read and analyze informational text in the various subjects of Social
Studies, Science, and online media, they will be able to understand the meaning of
new vocabulary through the skills of finding context clues and be able to outline key
words in math word problems, reading prompts, and discussion questions to
understand what is to be done in that problem. The students will also be able to
understand the elements of fictional literature that includes plot, setting, character
analysis, read various literatures, nonfiction, and informational texts that are at or
above their grade level, and most importantly in the sixth grade, give evidence to
prove an opinion or point through textual evidence.
Assessments and Accommodations:
All of these learning outcomes will be measured throughout the semester
through summative and formative assessments and score at least 90% accuracy on
the new standardized test: Georgia Milestones Assessment System (GMAS) which is
replacing the CRCTS this year. The best way to show growth is to pre-assess and
One of the most important elements of the blended unit is having the right
differentiation for the course. For learning styles, I will allow for choice and interest
when it comes to creating many of the mini projects in the course. For age, I believe
that the blended unit with students of this generation in sixth grade will allow be to
be creative and challenge them such as creating websites and podcast but also
allow for differentiation by having other options such as a power point with their
voice embedded into it. My goal though is to have each student learn a new
technology or program by the end of the unit. Also the content and products will
have an option which is differentiation through their interests (technology, art,
writing, etc.) And therefore can also bring in their cultures into the lessons. For
example, a discussion board will have an option to discuss their own families rules,
traditions, and routines and compare and contrast them to the ones in the book.
With differentiation, accommodations for my 504 and extremely gifted
students, support and communication, and engaging lessons that involve higher
level thinking, analyzing, and uses of technology- the blended course that I am
developing will be one that allows for student learning, growth, and engagement.
