Digital Story

Hey guys. For the digital story I am going to put one together on food allergies.

I'll do it on advertising - Alexis

Pen Pal
Hey guys, I've put down my thoughts. It's not really in paper form yet, but you guys will get the idea. Let me know what you guys think!

-Alexis

For our lesson plan, I'm making the grade level a 6-8, because it seems more like a middle school project. We should narrow down our grade though.

Hey guys here are the websites I plan to evaluate:


Here are mine for advertising: - Alexis

one of the websites to get advertising for newspapers:
http://www.detroitnews.com/article/99999999/INFO/71015004

design a business card:
http://www.zazzle.com/businesscards

advertise online:
yellowpages.com

Alexis go into settings and it should have a section that calls us authors of the blog and I messed it up when I was trying to make you guys admins. I think you are the only admin left, can you change it?

Done! - Alexis

Week 3

Can one of you guys go into setting a make me a admin. I was making you guys into admins and I accidentally changed myself. Thanks!

Also for the lesson plan due this week based off our project I am going to do the food pyramid one. We are all supposed to do different ones based off our main project. So keep me updated on what your plans are. Thanks!


Hey it's Alexis. I don't know how to do anything on this website- I'm so technologically illiterate it's not even funny.  But I'll try to turn you into an administrator lol. I'm going to have a lesson based on advertisement- they'll figure out what they need to do and figure out the prices and all that! 

Concept Map

This idea is awesome. Also my input I put through via text to Alexis is the main project could be catering/money making project. At my last pre-intership my class room did this and they made a soup and salad bar for the staff during lunch for $5. The student were in charge of making a grocery list, looking up prices so they could stay on budget through internet and grocery ads and they had to follow recipes. The money they made went toward there classroom and the teacher paid them for there work by giving them free time. My students had mild cognitive impairments. This was a real strong life lesson for my students to acquire job skills they will need in the future and independent living skills.

Inspiration Concept Map Ideas

Alexis's ideas as mentioned on our E-Learning blog: 

"So here's my idea. We should have them run a catering business. We'd split them into groups of 2-4 and give them a) starting money and b) three orders.

They'd need to
a) plan a menu
b) "purchase" all the things they'd need- food, silverware, etc

After they did their "first event", they'd need to plan for their second, then third. Each time they need to break even/ earn money so that they can buy supplies for their next event.
They can use technology to research catering business, prices, etc. Their final presentation could be them explaining to the class how they ran their business and earned money."

 Lauren's ideas as mentioned on our E-Learning blog: 

"For inspiration I would put in the center bubble Catering. Then steaming off from them we could have the three events that you were talking about we could have wedding, bridal shower, and possible graduation party. Those are just some ideas then steaming off of each of those we could have kitchen measurements, kitchen utensils. Plan a menu could include: food pyramid (food nutrition), food allergies, meals according to events and split off into meal courses, then we would need budgeting, maybe advertising for the catering business. This way students will not just be learning about cooking but planning and budgeting for running a successful business."
