Final Project!

For your final project, I would like you to investigate specifically how you will incorporate some technology in to one of your WS lessons. It can be using a blog, using Screentoaster, yodio, Google Docs, you name it. The Web2.0 sky is the limit!

Example 1: Liz's Final Ed520 project

Example 2: Kari's Final project

Now for the two examples above, they had a little more time to do this project, so don't get overwhelmed by what they did. (They are quite outstanding though...)

This will be an INDIVIDUAL project, which ideally will be hosted on your new Google Site (more on that later).

1. Identify the grade level and subject matter of the project.
2. Select a potential unit, topic or concept to teach.
3. Outline a lesson plan [or a set of lesson plans], including:

• Learning objectives
  
• Appropriate technologies that can be implemented to increase the effectiveness of the lesson.
  
• Varied strategies one could use to teach the lesson(s).
  

4. Identify the new Oregon Education Technology Standards achieved in this lesson(s).
5. Discuss the potential challenges for implementation.
6. Discuss the potential benefits to both the instructor and students (of using the chosen technologies).


To host your lesson:

1. Create a Google Site (a web page) to host your project, which is a nice alternative to creating a blog to share information with your class. (Why might you want an alternative?) The nice thing is that since it is a Google product, you already have access to creating one since you all have google accounts. Once you have created your Google site, be sure to copy/paste the URL into our Class Data Sheet.

Here is an example from Bryce Jenkison, a practicing teacher.

This Google Site does not have to be fancy. Check out my page: Laura McLeman

If you can't truly do a Google Site (please come see me if you decide you can't to discuss it), then

2. Make a blog post.
