Review of Lesson 3

How will you use this resource to meet the needs of your
instructional purposes?

I will use Edmondo as a tool that parents/scholars can use at home to supplement classroom learning. This will provide additional support for the students in a fun and engaging way where they can share their classroom with their parents/family.

What directions or tech support will you provide students before the lesson to
focus learning and adapt this resource for your instructional resources?

Before the lessons, I will have each student included in my group so they are able to access the lessons at home.  I will also have to give the parents the information/expectations for their support and engagement in their child's learning.  I would do the first one or two as a group activity at school so that when they go home, they will want their parents to see it as well.  After the first couple lessons as a group, so all can experience it, they will be able to do this from home.

How are the format, organization, design and language level of this site
appropriate for your instructional goals?

The format is able to be as simple as I want it to be.  For Kindergarten, sending things home for "homework" isn't the best idea.  It can get lost, forgotten and even thrown away.  Using this medium, they can log on from home, do their activity online and not have to be responsible for things going back and forth from school to home and home to school.  With each lesson, I would make sure that they were able to access it alone if necessary.  I would also have a parent section for them to make comments or add to the community.

What are the potential problems, either language based or technical, that you
may need to troubleshoot or prepare for?

I think one major obstacle is having the technology a student may need at home.  If a home does not have any type of technology present or working, they will not have access to the lessons.  I think that in this case scenario, since I am able to see who has and has not completed the assignment, I could monitor it.  If a student is consistently not accessing the lessons, I could provide in class time for them to do the lessons.
