Final+Project+Checklist

As discussed in class, your final project should include the following elements:

1) Lesson summary modeled after the lessons we reviewed on the "Publish it vs. Hand it in" blog. (4 points) 2) Screen captured tutorial (narrated in your voice) describing //to your students// how to use the technology tool(s) you incorporated into your lesson **OR** create a model project for your students. (4 points) 3) Description of how you are incorporating project-based learning and student engagement strategies from the course readings and discussion into your project. NOTE: Reference sources or experiences we discussed in class for full credit! Edutopia has great resources on project based learning. (4 points) 4) Clear tie to your school's academic goals. For example, if all 3rd graders are required to achieve proficiency in 3-digit addition, and your project addresses 3-digit addition cite the standard(s) your project addresses. (4 points) 5) Assessment strategies. How will you assess your project to compare its effectiveness to the effectiveness of the traditional "hand it in" lesson? (4 points)

Please publish your project to your personal wikispace account and email the link to Dr. Herr : lherr@lesley.edu

The deadline for submitting your projects is October 21, the last day of class. You may submit the project early. No extensions may be given beyond the last day of class.

TIPS for a successful project:

1) Organize the project by the stated sections on your wiki.

2) ALL information for your project should be on the wiki and accessible with one link.

3) If you do the screen record section (Jing, Screencaster, etc), make sure to speak up and check a sample to be sure we can hear you. Close any toolbars you aren't using so you can record as much of the screen as possible.

4) For the "hand it in" to "publish it" section of your projects, model the format after the ones we reviewed in class, but make sure the "hand it in" assignment is one you have actually been doing, and that the new assignment is one you plan to do.
