Student Engagement/Level of Technology Implementation (LoTi): The students will be doing a LoTi
level 1 when they watch the BrainPop video. The students will then be doing a LoTi level 5 when they
create their blog post and publish it for their peers to review.
Importance of technology:
Using a website-creation tool is important to the project because the students are able to be creative
and publish their own original work. This project can also be done via the old paper and pencil way.
This way is not as fun or engaging for students though. Students have more fun creating backgrounds
and templates and making their project look appealing. The students will need their computers in

Inspiration (optional): I thought of this on my own and came up with all the ideas.

Internet Safety and Student Privacy:


To minimize the risks of my students and myself, I would make sure that I had permission from the families
as well as the administration to use the online blog. I would ensure to the parents and facility that the use of
this blog would only be to publish the students work to their peers. The students would not use their real
names, but instead their classroom number. As a teacher, it is important to follow all internet safety and
make sure that the teacher is not breaking any age requirements or rules.
Describe your personal learning goal for this activity. The students have never created a blog post and
publish it. The students have only created blog posts in the past. This time, the students will be challenged
to create their own blog post, but also publish it for their peers to see. This will challenge them to create the
best blog post that they can.
