In order to carry out my action plan I will need to create cooperative learning groups, teach my students how to use search engines and Boolean techniques and how to find valid information for the wiki, I will need to teach the student’s how to create a wiki as well as how to make entries on the wiki. I will need to make a worksheet concerning Boolean search techniques, how to find valid information, and create a worksheet explaining the information required for the wiki. So far I have been able to create the worksheet which explains the information I want the students to find about the famous person, create a worksheet that explains search engines to use, how to determine if the information is from a valid source, and information on how to use Boolean searches. I have demonstrated how students are to use search engines to find information, how to determine if the information is from a valid source, and how to use a Boolean search. My students have started finding information for the biography. I have placed my students in cooperative learning groups, which provides for the diverse learners as well as the ESL learners, to complete this artifact. Other resources I will need is one computer for each group as well as the worksheets.
I think you have a good plan and well on your way to accomplish your goals here. Students learned how to create and use wikis and knowing how to search is very important. You also account for the diverse learners and ELLs as well. I hope that you'll get enough computers for them. Good job Kay.
