Reflection #5


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.

  3. You 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!
