Description

Overview:
This performance task is a computer science (CS) integration project where your students will take you on a virtual field trip. It can be to a museum, a historical site, a modern destination, a book, a planet or really anywhere. Along the way, they will incorporate CS concepts into their projects including sequences, conditionals, and events to add interactivity. This is a great project for students to share their research and learning from a wide variety of subject areas like social studies, language arts, world languages, history, etc. This unit includes 5th grade standards for the Virginia CS Standards of Learning, but it can easily be adapted for younger and older students. The latest resources for this project can be found at https://sites.google.com/virginia.edu/virtualfieldtrip/resources.

I tweaked the planner on this lesson with my virtual class, so that videos and step by step instructions were at their fingertips. I also added the expected criteria at the top of the planner and a rubric at the bottom. For the first lesson, expectations were low, because this lesson will be taught five times. That allows students to improve with their computing skills and comfort level each time. My students loved it and are looking forward to their next US Region!
