Unit Plan Canvas

Since my lesson plan was based on monochromatic colors my unit plan endorsed “color theory” as a whole.
After creating an introduction to my lesson plan on PLAYground I can say that it is virtually a user friendly platform in which widgets on the left panel give the option to apply videos, images, texts, link sources, connect Twitter hashtags, display interactive questions, etc once they are dragged and dropped into the designing field labeled as “canvas”.  The user gets to choose from selecting and arranging the widgets throughout the canvas.
The downside of the website are for the users that create a PLAYground canvas. Drafts don’t necessarily get saved unless they are published, and even though you publish them you are still at risk of loosing your work. There is no advice that your work was successfully published. Additionally in order to find your published work you have to find it by searching for it with its tags. A final downfall was that once my work was published the boxes showed overlapped to one another even though that is not the way that I wanted to arranged them.   


Even though the site needs to fix its glitches I was able to successfully display the information just as I wanted in my PLAYground.

Afterall I believe that PLAYground compliments a lesson plan because it has the power to engage the students with much ease, the option to display pictures and videos motivate learning in an entertaining manner.

  1. I found your CANVAS quite interesting! I didn't know anything about monochromatic colors and your video along with all of your pictures really gave me great descriptions. All of your text boxes were appropriately sized and I found it very simple to navigate your CANVAS! Well done, I really enjoyed it!
