Description of how to implement in the class:
We will review and discuss the three elected officials of the executive branch and the basics of these
officials. The students will view my glogster on the three officials and I will explain how to create
their own. Then, they will choose either the president, governor, or mayor to create their own
glogster on. They will need to include who the official is, where he works, his job, and other facts on
the official. This BBPT will assist them in learning because it is requiring them to research the official
and create a glogster based off their findings.
Level of Technology Implementation (LoTi): This is a LoTi level 4 and up because the students are
doing higher order thinking and research and then creating a presentation to share with their
classmates on the elected official. They could reach higher levels if their glogster was posted on a
classroom blog for other to see.
Description of the sample BBPT file provided *: The Glog I created will be used as an example of
how to create a glog and how it could be set up. I will show students how to create a glog and how to
navigate the site using this example.
Other comments about your proposed BBPT Activity: Students have the option to create their
own design or to use the premade glogs available to them.
