Wiki Lesson Plan
Title: Healthy Eating
Grade Level: 2nd grade
Subject: Science - How to Choose Healthy Snacks
Duration: 30 minutes
Materials: PB Wiki, internet games referenced in the Wiki
Objectives: The student will learn about choosing snacks that are healthy for them.
The student will create a list of 20 healthy foods after the lesson to be added to the Wiki.
Activities/Procedures:
a. Create a Wiki to present this subject to the class. Make copies of the healthy recipes listed in the Wiki as well as the websites so each child can have a copy to take home.

Assignment 3
Anna McLaughlin
4th grade
1. I put the four computers in a station at the back of the classroom. The student’s desks are in groups of three. I have the desks situated where the students will all be facing the front of the classroom to make sure they are not distracted by the computers. My desk and computer are in the front of the room and the printer is beside my desk. There is a projector in the front center of the room for easy viewing.
2. I’ve made a chart of when each student will use the computers and which computer they will use. This chart is posted on the wall near the computer station. The computers will be used for 1 ½ hours in the morning and 1 ½ hours in the afternoon. Each student will have approximately ten minutes at the computer.
3. The students will primarily be using Microsoft Word to write a short journal of my choice each day. They will then print their journal and keep it in a binder. This will give the students an opportunity to become more comfortable with writing and typing.
1. I have put the student’s desks in groups of four where they are facing to the left and right of the classroom. The computers are on carts in the back of the classroom. My desk is in the front of the classroom and the printer is beside my desk. The projector is in the front center of the classroom for easy viewing.
2. The computers will be kept on the cart in the back of the classroom until their designated time of use. We will use the computers each afternoon for 1 ½ hours.
3. The computers will be used for Accelerated Reading activities. The class as a whole will read stories together from books on the internet. Once the class has finished a story, each student will use the AR program to take the AR test. This will allow each student the chance to read and test at the same pace.

As I took the Cognitive Style and Learning Style Inventories, I was very pleased with the process. The tests were easy to take and I thought it was neat to compare my results to how I perceive myself. I really enjoyed the tests and thought that my results were amazingly accurate!
As I took the Cognitive Style and Learning Style Inventories, I was very pleased with the process. The tests were easy to take and I thought it was neat to compare my results to how I perceive myself. I really enjoyed the tests and thought that my results were amazingly accurate!
The Cognitive Styles Inventory said that I was in the category “sensing types” and I was an introvert. The letter combination that I received was ISFJ. This means that I am typically quiet, friendly, responsible, and conscientious. All of those descriptions fit me perfectly. It also said that I was thorough, loyal, considerate, and I notice specifics about people who are important to me. That too is very true for me. The last comment that was included in my results was that I strive to create an orderly and harmonious environment at work and at home. That is definitely one of my goals each day!
The Learning Styles Inventory said that I am an auditory learner. I have found that to be very true through the years that I have been in school. Being an auditory learner means that I learn better by listening to tapes and lectures rather than by reading the material. I have never really enjoyed reading, so being an auditory learner makes perfect sense. The results suggest that I sit in the lecture hall where I can hear. I find myself doing that quite often. It also said that after I have read something, I should summarize it and recite it aloud. I find myself doing that all of the time; especially when I am studying for a test. I make my husband sit down and listen to me “teach” him the material that I am studying. I find that by doing that, I am able to understand and apply what I am learning much easier.
These two tests produced very accurate results for me. I found them quite easy to take and I enjoyed seeing the outcome of my answers. It can be concluded that these tests are very precise in determining ones personality type and learning style.

Computer Technology
I have always been rather computer savvy and enjoyed the convenience of computer technology. As a teacher, I know that computer technology will enable me to complete tasks quicker and more efficently.
