// This is a communal page for you to write down a lesson plan you have for using technology. Follow this format. Use blue font to write out your information. Start with your name, give a name to the plan, and summarize the plan. As the page fills up, return to it and write comments to one another's ideas, inserting your comments right after the idea.

Jane Smith, Lesson Plan Title: Glogging about a Friend or Family Member. This plan is for 4th graders. Each student will select a friend of family member to interview. If the family member or friend does not reside locally, the student can use an online tool such as Skype to conduct the interview. In class, in groups, students will brainstorm interview questions. While interviewing the selected person, the student will record notes and possibly take pictures (of the person, objects associated with the person, etc.). Each student will then create a Glog about the person. They will then insert their Glog into a Blog post, and arrange to share the Blog with the person they interviewed.

//Karen Shoemaker: I like your idea, but will students be able to use photos of their friends on an online? Will the teacher check the work before it is publicized for others to see? I think the person interviewed will like seeing himself or herself represented in a Glog. This lesson will also be a good opportunity to discuss responsible digital citizenship with your students. I think your students will really like this project.//
