When I read through and reflected on the feedback on my original lesson (see previous post), I recognized a challenge to improve my lesson but also to confront a reoccurring theme online: very little appropriate content for younger students through RSS. I went back and searched through Feedly and Google and finally found a few things/sites I could use so that students could be introduced to RSS in the elementary classroom.I created another Feedly account for students. While I kept the initial objectives and rubric, I redesigned the assessment in Google forms and now have student data collected through this form of assessment.
So now, with the opportunity to redesign my lesson, I have developed this lesson and I am excited to use the Google form for assessment to keep an organized data collection tool and have a paperless assignment!
