Building Teaching Skills Through the Interactive Web

Project Report Information

Creating a project is part of this course. The goal of the project is to try a technology tool or technique in your teaching – something that you haven’t done before - and document what happened. You’ll describe what your class was like before, what you tried, what happened, and what you think you will do next. Next steps may be to make some changes before trying it again, trying it with a new group, and the like.

The weekly reflections on your blog can be helpful as you create your report.

What are we supposed to do?

Project goal: Plan and put into action a change related to technology use in your classroom. 

Here are the steps for this term:

●      Describe anything else that is significant or relevant about the course that may potentially relate to your project Добавьте допольительные важные  информации о вашей проекте.

2.       Phase 2: Begin thinking about an issue, problem, or need that technology might be able to help with. It can be something related to teacher use of technology or student use of technology. You can think about how technology can help you as a teacher, for example, in preparing interesting lessons. If your students have access to technology, you can think about something that they might use. Create a specific problem statement, then share your ideas with the group in order to get more ideas.

3.       Phase 3: Think about the strengths and weaknesses of different possible solutions, using some of our techniques and tools from the class. Write down one or more techniques or tools to try.
