Discussion on the items that should be considered before starting a project with students.
Before starting a project with students, it is important to consider what you will need for the project. You need to know what items and resources you already have, and what you will need to purchase. This is also important because you do not want to plan a project that you can not afford to complete. You will also need to determine deadlines and due dates for the project. You also need to plan how you will assess your students.
Discussion on teachers’ and students’ management needs.
Teachers need tools for communicating with students about the project. Teachers also need to be sure they have appropriate and reliable methods for getting resources to students. It is also important to have a system for managing work products. For students to take control of management, students need collaboration tools, methods for seeking assistance, and ways to get and use feedback for their work. It is important for students to know how to get help in case they need it.
Discuss some of the technology applications that should be considered for use in a project.
Teachers should select from an assortment of web-based applications when designing and carrying out a project in their classroom. A blog is a very good way to ensure that all of your students are participating and are staying on track. A Wiki page is also a good idea. A Wiki page would allow for students to all collaborate on one single page. It is also possible to have students build web pages that deal with the project they are completing.
Discussion on how concepts in this chapter relate to your topic/project.
For our topic, we had to think about how we were going to teach, and what we were going to teach. When building our lesson plans it was important to consider how we would evaluate the students. Our group has a blog that we use to communicate with one another about our project. Other people can view the blog and comment on it as well. From looking at our blog you can tell what our topic is, and how we are going about teaching about our topic.
I agree that it is very important that we consider what we need in order to make a project for students. If we don't have all of our supplies then we may not be able to complete the project in a timely matter or even at all.
