Content Area/Grade/Standards/Topics Addressed: SS2H1 The student will read about and describe the
lives of historical figures in Georgia history.
a. Identify the contributions made by these historic figures: James Oglethorpe,
Tomochichi, and Mary Musgrove (founding of Georgia); Sequoyah (development
of a Cherokee alphabet); Jackie Robinson (sports); Martin Luther King, Jr. (civil
rights); Jimmy Carter (leadership and human rights).
SS2G2 The student will describe the cultural and geographic systems associated with the historical figures
in SS2H1 and Georgias Creeks and Cherokees.
Brief Description of Learning Experience: On my blog I have a flipped classroom assignment. The
assignment is for 2nd graders. In the flipped classroom category on my blog, I have recorded myself telling
the students to play the Jeopardy game to help with reviewing for the test they are about to take. The
assignment that is was given to them is a website that has a jeopardy game. The game is exactly what the
standard is so students can use this as a review tool. The activity will take around 30 minutes to complete.
The audience for the blog are the students and parents of the students.

Student Engagement/Level of Technology Implementation (LoTi): This is at this level 2 because it is


teacher centered and involves lower level thinking skills. The students will focus on content understanding.
With making this go to a LoTi level 4, I would make the student write information to the blog. I would ask
them to reflect how how they did on the Jeopardy game and what changes they would make to do better on
the game.
Importance of technology: This is critical to students because they are able to keep up with what is
happening in the class. If they miss a day they would be able to see what all was missed and be able to catch
up sooner than if the teacher did not have a blog. This project could not be created without a blog because
the students would not be able to figure out which site to use for the Jeopardy game. The students can access
this blog from any form of technology.
Inspiration (optional): https://jeopardylabs.com/play/georgia-historical-figures-2nd-grade
This website was one that I found online when looking for a fun review game.
Internet Safety and Student Privacy: When using any form of technology there is always the risk of
hackers or the website crashing. We can not completely depend on technology. Also, when having a website
that everyone can view there may be people that write in the comments box that are not in your classroom.
To ensure that all comments put on the website are appropriate I would set a filter that lets me approve all
comments. This would lower the risks of students and parents seeing inappropriate comments.

Describe your personal learning goal for this activity. My goal for this activity is that the students will
use the blog as a resource to keep up with things going on in the classroom. After all of the lessons I will
add extra practice to ensure that the students are understanding the information. I would include a comment
box to answer questions that parents or students may have. I hope that this will be a fast way to get in
contact with the students and parents.
