- Gathering resources (what will you need?)
- Milestones and deadlines
- Team planning
- Plan for assessment
2. Students need management skills in order to grapple with the structure of projects. They need to learn how to manage time, space, and materials. Having structure in the classroom helps students to move through their day. Teachers need management skills to make their work and communication more manageable. Teachers need organization. Teachers need to also manage their time, space, and materials. This shows people the teacher is prepared and professional.
3. Technology applications to be considered:
- web- based applications
-Drupal
-Textpattern
- personalized web pages
-Calendars
-Notepads
-iGoogle
-My Yahoo!
4. Items in this chapter relate to my topic because the entire project is based on time management. Every single week something is due, I have to make sure I do my part in the project. I need to make sure I have enough time to get everything done and on time. I need to make sure I gather all materials needed, I need to reach milestones and deadlines, I need to work with my team to plan a project, and plan for any assessments that will take place.
I really enjoy the way that you provided examples for technology applications that should be used, it makes it easier to get an idea of what we as teachers should do. I like how you took the time management route of project based learning. I don't think that has been mentioned very much and it was an eye opener thinking of how much time must be put into the project.
ReplyDeleteGreat post! Teachers really do need to be prepared before class; not only prepared to have materials needed but also be familiar with what will be done by students.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed what you wrote about in this post. I agree with you when u say that the teachers need to be prepared so that the students can in turn be prepared as well. This is very important.
