Module+5+Course+Project

=Module 5 Course Project=

Module Overview
In the first module, you spent some time thinking about how the course may help you to refine an assignment or create a new assignment to better teach an outcome from one of your courses. You created your course goal in Google documents. I have looked at your course goal and provided you with feedback.

In this final module (YEAH!), you are to reflect upon the different types of Web 2.0 widgets and alternative technologies will help you to redesign your assignment.

 * Course Outcomes and Objectives Practiced**


 * Outcome 1: Cite best practices of online learning.**

Use new technologies to gather best practices and share information among classmates. Discuss current pedagogy with classmates in online forums. Explain how best practices can be incorporated into a class the student is currently teaching online.

Module 5 Post #1 (At [|Educator]) 5 Points Please see the assessment criteria for discussion boards

 * __Due Sunday, June 21 by 11:59 PM__** at [|Educator] in the forum labeled Module 5 Post 1, write a 250-300 word post to your classmates that : a) describes briefly your course project; b) identifies possible technologies that you can use to create the assignment; and c) discusses any concerns you might have with using this new technology.


 * __Due Tuesday June 23 by 11:59 PM__** at [|Educator]After your classmates have posted, respond to at least two classmates by commenting upon their ideas and extending the conversation.



Module 5 Course Project (Please see Course Project Assessment Criteria)
__**Due Monday, June 29 at 11:59 PM**__ The course project should be an activity that you think will help you with your teaching. You created a plan in the first module and may have chosen one of these ideas for the project.


 * 1) Design a new interface for your course that does not use Educator. (wikis, blogs, social networking sites)
 * 2) Create a series of video enhancements for your course from You Tube, iTunes U, or other sources.
 * 3) Create a series of assignments that use different technologies used in the course.
 * 4) Redesign a unit or portion of an existing course to incorporate the new technologies learned.
 * 5) Keep an e-portfolio of what you are learning and how technology will affect your teaching.

As we worked through the last three modules, you wrote technology reviews of three different technologies. These project reviews will allow you to focus on what the technology does and how you think it may help you in your teaching. Now you will be creating the actual project.

Please follow these steps to complete the project.


 * 1) **__By June 21 at 11:59 PM__**, please send an email to me at annader@delta.edu that explains how you are going to proceed with the project. Note any chances from the original plan and please include any questions you may have. Also, if you wish, request a phone or face-to-face meeting.
 * 2) **__By June 23 at 11:59 PM__**, begin a Google document that will serve as a draft of your final project. Depending upon your project, you may submit it in Google Documents; however, some of your projects might be actual wikis or blog. If that is the case, please indicate to me in the first email due June 21 that you will be using an alternate technology and send me the web address for it.
 * 3) **__By June 25 at 11:59PM__**, have completed the first draft of the project. If you have not told me where the project is (Google or another technology), please let me know where the project is. I will return comments and suggestions by late on the 26th.
 * 4) __**By June 29 at 11:59 PM**__, have the project completed. Send the class an email message (using Educator) that tells where your project is, how successful you think you were in fulfilling your idea, and what other changes you may need to make to use it in your classes.
