Reflection #5

1. Discussion on the items that should be considered before starting a project with students:

All items should be considered before they are put to use with students. What is their readiness level? Do they have any prior experience with these items? Would they benefit from this?

2. Discussion on teachers' and students' management needs:

Teacher's management needs include tools for communicating with students and others about the project, tools for making milestones and events visible and for notifying students when changes occur, methods for getting resources to students and systems for managing work products, structures that support a productive learning environment, and assessment tools and strategies.
Student's management needs include systems and tools that help them manage their time and flow of work, systems that help students manage materials and control work drafts, collaboration tools, methods for seeking assistance, ways to get use feedback on their work, through self reflection, team input and teacher advice and ways to work iteratively and to see how parts add up to the whole.

3. Discuss some of the technology applications that should be considered for use in a project:

Moodle and Interact, Lotus Notes, blogs, google maps are very good things to incorporate into projects. Really any web application that you find may be useful towards your project it would be good to use. By incorporating technology into your project, it becomes more interesting.

4. Discussion on how concepts in this chapter relate to your project:

The  biggest thing that this chapter relates to our project about is the different ways to prepare. It helps us know how the teachers and the students both need to prepare for in order to start a project.
