Resources:
Each student will be provided access to a laptop with internet access in class. Students will use their Google accounts and complete all work using Google Docs.
Students will be supported in their creativity, research and organization by utilizing the following project preparation document: https://docs.google.com/document/d/124Y_k61gHijk_RRhBIBETLJ5mjPJhT2xWdVAwiR6RHY/edit
The document contains links to tutorials, demonstrations, and explanations of each step of the process.
My professional learning community that will take on the task of monitoring and evaluating the unit will meet once before the unit begins, once during the student research and project creation and once after the projects are turned in.
Information:
Proven approaches to supporting successful student inquiry and project creation will prove invaluable as guides in constructing and carrying out instruction, guidance and support for student learning.
Completed:
The initial PLC meeting took place and the class has conducted exploratory research to choose topics. The class has just begun to work on their project preparation documents.
Hi Brandon,
ReplyDeleteI love using Google Docs (or Google Drive). I wish it had been around while I was still in school. I think it is such a great way for students to learn how to use the Internet, collaborate with peers in a virtual way, manage assignments, and so much more. If you are interested in using Google Docs even more in your class, here is a link with helpful suggestions.

It looks like you have put together a pretty nice handout for your students to use access. I like that you have chosen to give your students so much freedom in their final inquiry project. Are you going to provide any alternations or variations as to how you will assess them?
