1. Discussion on the items that should be
considered before starting a project with students:
Starting a project is about the organization of
delegating out the work and a way that makes it the most effective. You need to
know; what partners are responsible for? What materials you will need? When
will you complete your part? The students learn how to manage their time and
have to give their best so that they put their group in the best spot possible.
2. Discussion on teachers' and students' management
needs:
The teacher has a lot of responsibility in
organizing the layout of the student project. The teacher has to provide
students with good resources, effective tools for the project, a way of
communication between the students because they may not know any of their group
members.
The students’ project management needs include; ways
of collaboration, reflecting on their personal work, feedback from others,
advice from professionals and team work to complete the job.
3. Discuss some of the technology applications that
should be considered for use in a project:
Possible technology applications that can be used
include a blog, personalized web pages, wiki and many others. These
applications really put students in a real life scenerio where they have to
learn how to work with a team on a project.
4. Discussion on how concepts in this chapter
relate to your project:
The most important factor of this chapter is preparation.
You have to be prepared before you try to jump into this project. You need to
layout your objectives and make activities that reach your goals. If we want to
be successful we need to be prepared.
I really like how you have laid this posting out, not just from the book but other day to day needs and delegations that need to be accommodated. Preparation is the key, remember this!!
ReplyDeleteI agree that students need to learn how to manage their time effectively and work well with their partners. I found the web based applications were helpful and useful to the students in their everyday routines.
ReplyDeleteYou explained question 1 really well! There is a lot of preparation that needs to be done before giving students their work to make it as easy of a process as possible. Giving students ways to learn how to manage their time well will benefit you and them in the future!
