Some of the tech skills they learned and were asked to incorporate in this project are:
- apply several different "troubleshooting" skills
- discern between reliable/valid and less than reliable sources of information
- create a new folder
- use Google Advanced Search to locate copyright free images
- save/download images from the internet into their student account
- identify and save image URL in order to cite references
- upload images to a website
- hyperlink images and words
Here are two of our completed projects. More will be added to the blog as they are completed.
Dear, Mr. Pahl,
ReplyDeleteI am officially done with my glogster. Hope you like it! I think it is a good practice for us to actually learn how to use glogster.
Sincerely, Evyn
Dear Sara H.,
ReplyDeleteIt’s very interesting that in less than two years, we’re going to see what Pluto looks like! Thanks to you, I now know that we’re going to see Pluto! I’m very excited.
Sincerely, Miranda
Dear Miranda,
DeleteThanks but I don’t know where I said were going to see Pluto in less than two years.
From,
Sarah H.
Dear Miranda and Sarah,
DeleteThis is Julia, one of Mr. Pahl's Western students and I have a question for you. Are we actually going to be able to see Pluto in two years or are we going to have more information on the former planet? I really like learning about planets and all of the new information that continues to come up.
Sincerely,
Julia
Dear Sarah.H,
ReplyDeletePluto was considered a real planet in 2006 it became a dwarf planet because the Moon is twice the size of Pluto and Pluto is twice the size of its moon Charon!
Sincerely,
Eric
Dear Eric,
DeleteWow I didn't know that Pluto was a dwarf planet because the moon is twice the size of Pluto and Pluto is twice the size of its Moon Charon!
Sincerely, Ellis
Dear 4th graders,
ReplyDeleteI love our space glogs don’t you? Someone said that a small girl named Pluto Isn’t that cool I think so how about you?
From, Asher
Dear Mr. Pahl,
ReplyDeleteI am finished with my mars glog I can’t wait for you to see it. There are some facts about life on mars. Do you think there is life on mars? I do think there is life on mars.
Sincerely, Mattias
Hi Mattias,
DeleteI can't wait to see it either. I would like to learn more about Mars. I think the missions that we have there now sound so interesting, but I haven't had time to stay up on them. I know they are learning so many wonderful things. Is there life on Mars? I don't think there is life there now. If there was, I think we would know about it. I am curious though. It seems like maybe there could have been life there at one time. If there was water on Mars, which they think there was, there also could have been life. We will see.
Mr. Pahl
Dear Sarah H.,
ReplyDeleteYou did an awesome job! You put a lot of effort in your glogster. It’s kind of funny that we both did the same topic and the same background! You can still learn from your glog. I really learned from the video. Thanks Sarah!
Sincerely,
Charlize
Dear 4th graders,
ReplyDeleteI think the glogs where very good! Favorite was Charlize’s because it gave me information I never knew about. I think they all did good research and know a lot about their topic.
From, Maximus
Dear Charlize,
ReplyDeleteI think that your glog is amazing. You really put a lot of information so if there’s a person that wants to know about Pluto then your glog is a great tool. I even learned a lot about Pluto by looking at your Pluto glog.
From, Neri!
Dear Neri,
DeleteI am one of Mr. Pahl's Western students, Julia. I am wondering what you have learned about Pluto since looking at Charlize's glog. I know that I learned that Pluto's crust is made out of ice, but what did you learn? Thanks for sharing!
Sincerely,
Julia
Dear Charlize,
ReplyDeleteI like how you wrote “Pluto’s crust is made out of ice which is made out of nitrogen and methane gases”. I never knew Pluto’s crust is made out of ice.
Sincerely: Gavin!
Dear Charlize,
DeleteI didn't know those things about Pluto either! I can tell you did a lot of thoughtful research for your glog. I also thought it was interesting that Pluto was named by an 11-year-old girl. Maybe someday another Elementary student will get to name a planet?
Great job,
Hannah
(Western student)
Der Sarah,
ReplyDeleteWonderful Glog! I never knew that Pluto was named by a girl in England! Thank you for teaching me this new bit of information. What did you find most interesting in your research on Pluto?
From,
Isabel from Mr. Pahl's Western class
Dear Evyn,
ReplyDeleteI liked how many pictures you found to go in your glog. We made a glog in class too, but I had a hard time finding pictures. Can you tell me where you found some of yours?
Sincerely, Beth from Mr. Pahl's WWU class
Dear Evyn,
ReplyDeleteI love your glog about astroids! It has some really cool pictures and interesting facts. I was wondering, what's the difference between an astroid and a meteor?
-Leah from Mr. Pahl's WWU class
Dear Evyn,
ReplyDeleteI think your glog is very interactive and interesting! Asteroids are a topic everyone should know about, but not a lot of people think about when they study space. I learned a lot about NASA's attempts to save earth from asteroids in the video on your glog. It's good to know NASA is trying to stop meteorites from entering the atmosphere!
Great work,
Hannah
(Western student)
Dear Charlize,
ReplyDeleteThis is very interesting I had no clue that Pluto was officially named in the 1930! Where did you find that out? What made you interested in Pluto?
Sincerely,
Kailey (WWU)
Dear Kailey,
DeleteThanks for the comment! I got my information from Wikipedia and PebbleGo. I don’t really know why I chose Pluto though.
-Charlize
Dear Evyn,
ReplyDeleteI love your asteroid glog. I think it's very informative. After doing all of your research, do you happen to know the the difference between a meteor and an asteroid? I'm curious! Space science is one of my favorite subjects and the more information I learn, the better :)
Also, I'm not sure if you've heard, but there have been lots of news about asteroids in space recently. Apparently, there have been a lot passing by Earth's atmosphere! It's been pretty neat reading about it. I recommend reading about it if you are really into space science!
Sincerely,
Matt (from Mr. Paul's class!)
Dear Sarah,
ReplyDeleteGreat Glog! I had no idea that there was a rocket on its way to Pluto right now! Thank you for teaching me new things about Pluto! I love learning about planets and outer space. Have you ever studied any of the other planets? Which one is your favorite?
Sincerely,
Kyle Gillam (Mr. Pahl's Western student)
Dear Mr.Pahl,
ReplyDeleteI thought the glogs were AMAZING!!!! I loved doing this project. I love to research different things. I can’t wait to see the power points we are doing on our regions.
