In a Nutshell...The anatomy of a good project
Create a project that has to do with UDL/Assistive Technology. Your projects must:
1. break down barriers (make learning engaging, provide different ways for students to express themselves, provide various means of presentation)
2. be useful and applicable to your role in school
3. be accessible and able to share. How will it go beyond the classroom (on teacherweb, blog, how will students share their work). Here is an example of a way to share student work http://www.teacherweb.com/MA/WatertownHosmerElementary/MrsMattson/sd3l2.aspx
We will be using our last meeting date 3/8/10 we will be looking at projects in progress
The following guidelines and questions are meant to serve as a resource as you begin to think about and develop an outline for a project which reinforces the use of the new technology you are learning to use in this T-I-P Mini-Course.
I. Select a content/subject area of focus and think about how you might use this technology as a tool which will help you deliver instruction, engage students in exploration, illicit student feedback or evaluate mastery. What content/subject is your target? How will you begin to use this technology as a resource in the content/subject area?
II. How will this use of technology enhance your teaching and instruction in the content/subject area?
III. In terms of content delivery, how will this technology serve as a resource for student learning? That is, will students be able to use this technology as a learning link? Will students be able to use this technology in the completion of an assignment, project or task? Will it be used to confirm mastery of a concept or skill? Will students work individually or in small groups?
IV. How you will use this technology to reach a wider audience? This may include use as a link on a classroom website (TeacherWeb, blog, or other Web 2.0 tool).
V. Will you need additional support before the next session of this mini-course in January? If so, please specify.
NOTE about T-I-P Extended Project
Teachers can choose to extend their T-I-P learning by also using their own time to work on their project and they can receive PDPs for that time.
A T-I-P Extended Project proposal form is included in MyLearningPlan. It is easy to fill out and submit. This is an opportunity to extend their professional development, and receive PDPs, specifically linked to their own goals for teaching with technology in their classroom.
Teachers should use Atomic Learning to supplement their extended study and project work. Access to Atomic Learning is through the T-I-P web site (http://teacherweb.com/MA/WatertownHigh/TIP/h5.aspx) and on the District's Faculty Resources and Professional Development web sites.
or just go do it by clicking into MyLearningPlan and selecting the T-I-P Extended Project Form in the navbar.
Presenting your projects
- The final due date for TIP projects is in April.
- Each teacher must submit a Project Report Form in MyLearningPlan, on or before March 1st to get credit for a TIP project. When you fill out this form, you will be awarded your 10 PDPs on your MLP transcript. Teachers either complete the form to get credit for TIP, or they don't. Links to this form will be posted on the PD, Faculty Resources, and the TIP Program websites before Feb 27th.
