Learner Characteristics & Implementation
This online learning experience was designed for a small group of 5th grade students of a typical ability level. The students all have access to laptop computers and can choose to work independently or with a small group (3 or less). The students have a solid foundation in using technology tools to create, and are familiar with the ISTE-S standards from their work in technology specials. Additionally, they have worked all year with the design process in a STEM specials class.
This project can be implemented for short periods of time for several days, or for longer blocks on a few days. Also, if you teach with a blended model, a large portion of the work could be done at home, provided that students have access to a PC or Mac. If you choose to go this route, I would set up a collaboration element (such as Padlet, Google Docs, or a discussion board) that you regularly use so that students will be able to get help and ideas from each other.
