Title of the lesson: Kiddle.co for beginners
Concept / Topic for your Learners: My students will be learning how to use kiddle.co and filtering out information.
General Goal(s): To find information for their state report
Specific Learning Outcomes: The student will be able to use kiddle.co to find 5 facts about their state for their state report.
Characteristics of your Learners: There are 18 2nd grade students in this classroom, 10 girls and 8 boys. They attend a Title 1 based school
Prerequisite knowledge: The students have had access to iPads for 2 years now so they know how to navigate them and also they have had time with the keyboards this year too.
Required Materials, including Web 2.0 tools or sites: They will be using their iPads, keyboards, report sheet and the website kiddle.co
Introduction to the Activity: Hello Students. Now that you have picked which state you want to research we are going to discuss how we are going to research it. First we are going to be using kiddle.co. This is a search engine that is safe for students like you to use on a daily basis. All of this information is safe for you to use in your report. If you are curious you can always ask me about the website before you look at it.
Step-By-Step Procedures:
- Discuss what a search engine does for us - write ideas on board
- Teacher discusses the purpose of the search engine
- Discuss why we are using a kid safe search site - write ideas on the board
- Grab the iPad and keyboard
- Get out the state report sheet to write down the information
- Go to the kiddle.co app on the iPad
- Type in Illinois
- Discuss what results they got (teacher is displaying the same thing from their iPad)
- Talk about which ones look like a great choice and why
- Students will then search about their own state next.
Assessment: The teacher will walk around and see if the students are finding the information to fill in the state report sheet. If they are able to complete the sheet and searching within one class period (45 minutes) they will receive full credit.
Conclusion: The students will be able to use the microphone button to have it write the search words for them. If they need anything read to them the teacher will add phrases to another app and have it read to them.
