for Teachers

Teacher will utilize

Pinterest tags to
find an activity on
counting in a first
grade math class.
For example, one
counting to 120
activity found on
Pinterest is by
using a number
chart that goes up
to 120. When
students do
something well or
make right
choices, the
teacher can tell
them to mark a
number on their
chart. When they
fill in an entire row
or column, they
get a prize.

Example)

learning and
creativity.

ISTE Standards
for Students

The number chart

will be posted on
the class
ePortfolio. Each
student will have
their own page
with their own,
personalized chart.
When the child is
told to do so, they
can color in a
number on their
chart. The same
chart will be used
throughout the
year (or until
completely filled
in), and the childs
goal will be to
color in all 120
numbers. (Student
Example).

Students will
create their own
chart at the
beginning of the
year. They will be
given a blank
chart and will
drag each
number to
whatever space
they want. At the
end of the year,
they will be able
to drag each
number in order
(1, 2, 3118,
190, 120).

Students will play

a game where
they each roll
dice and then will
use the numbers
they rolled to
create a number
sentence. They
will record their
number
sentences on
their own page of
the class
ePortfolio.

Students will play

the dice game at
home (with paper
dice that are
made in class or
their own dice).
They will record
their number
sentences in the
homework

section on the
class Edmodo. We
will discuss a few
number
sentences
together in class
the next day.

Reflection: I had a bit of difficulty thinking of original ideas for this matrix. It seems to me that Edmodo and other LMSs are very
similar to ePortfolios, depending on how the ePortfolio is made. It was difficult for me to fully distinguish the differences between
an LMS and the ePortfolio. One aspect of Edmodo that I did really like was the quiz section because the teacher was able to make
a variety of types of quizzes (multiple choice, matching, etc.). I also really liked the discussion board on Edmodo. I think this is a
great way for students to work together and have discussions outside of class. I tried to incorporate these into my matrix as
much as possible.
