Tuesday Reflections

Tomorrow we will have time to continue working on student samples while also collaborating on the development of formative and summative student assessments. We will also begin the morning with a look at an Intel tool for getting at deeper levels of thinking across grades and curriculum. Take a few moments at the end of today to reflect on your personal progress.
Question 1. Are you on track? You should have made progress on the following:
A. Unit Plan
B. Publication sample for students
C. Presentation to introduce the unit to students and gauge student needs
D. An additional student project sample (a presentation, sample wiki, blog, or multimedia project)
E. Assessments to accompany each student product

If you have not made progress on these components, we still have time to tackle this in the next 2 days together.

Question 2. At this point, what student samples have you identified for your project?

Question 3. What individual assistance do you need to reach your goal of completion of the unit plan, student samples and assessments?

How are we doing?

Please post your Day 1 reflections. Let me know what you learned today that will be useful in the classroom as well as provide feedback on what needs to be different (pace of information, more details, less details, etc.) for Tuesday.

Teaching with Projects

You will learn through out the Intel Essentials Workshop, the importance (and research) behind incorporating Project Based Learning into the curriculum. Take a minute to post your reflections on experiences you have had (be they extensive or slim) with PBL in the classroom.
