Students Teaching Students with Infused Lessons

Last year in Castleberry ISD, each teacher taught a minimum of four infused learning lessons with the integration of web 2.0 websites. This year, teachers are continuing this practice, but with an emphasis on the higher levels of Bloom's. In an effort to continue to challenge our students, and to pull out their seemingly innate ability of technological genius, a campus goal is for each STUDENT to complete an infused learning lesson to teach to their advisory group. Students who feel comfortable in the process will have the opportunity to present/teach the entire school. If a student allows, this process will be uploaded to the district's YouTube channel. As the advisory class is also used as a time for our REACHing Out Parnership with Castleberry Elementary, guest speakers, and presentations, the process will be ongoing throughout the school year. Earlier in the school year, students learned about the different levels of Bloom's Digital Taxonomy. They also worked on groups, each group being assigned a different level, and made posters explaining their particular assigned level of Bloom's. Next, they discussed their posters to the rest of their advisory class. Since this time, students have selected the topics, web apps, and summary of the lessons. Within each advisory group, each student has selected a different web app. The concentration for the first attempt is successful completion rather than a focus on the level. Miranda has selected, "How to Tie your Shoes" using Gliffy; Federico will use the web app Popplet for "Hair Spikage"; Rocio is focusing on "Do's and Don'ts about Fashion" using Biteslide; Clarita will use Prezi for "How to Bake a Cake" and etc. We can't wait to share the finished products!!
