Left side brain ramblings

    ">
  1. Reflect on how the focus of this module has helped you plan and create your unit.
    • How can the creation of a student sample help me clarify unit expectations and improve my instructional design?
    • How can I ensure students will achieve the learning objectives when creating their student projects?
By going through the same assignments that are required of my students makes it easier to make sure the assignment is addressing the facts I'm trying to emphasize in the unit. By looking over the students shoulder as they are working and asking leading questions will keep the students focused and make sure the students are achieving the objectives put forth in their assignment.

This blog comes from the left side of the brain. I hope the right side catches up soon, I'm beginning to walk in circles.

Module 1: How can project help my students meet standards and develop 21 century skills?

Projects are in and of themselves practical applications of information. In any project the student is required to research information and reach a conclusions which should be applicable to a real world situation.

Lost in cyber space

A required blog. Wow, what if I really don't have any earth shattering thought to share?

I guess I should write concerning the product of the Intel class, but I'm not sure what exactly I'm going to be required to write. It's sort of like trying to stop a wave in the ocean by standing waist deep and holding your arms out. You give it your best shot but you are going to get overwhelmed and frustrated. Whew, struggling hard to keep my head above water.
