Intel Spring 2008

OK. We’re on the downhill slide after these two modules! Get them finished and it’s all gravy from here on out!

In Module 4 we discussed the student sample project or as Intel likes to call it: “evidence of student learning”.  It was suggested that you storyboard your project before you start working on it.  Remember your student sample project can be a presentation (created in PowerPoint), a publication (created in Publisher), a blog or a wiki - your choice. If you would like to view sample student projects, see pages 4.03 and 4.04. Remember to think about how to work 21st Century Skills in throughout the project.  You should also revisit the Unit Plan filling in any blanks and answer the questions on page 4.16 as you blog this week.

In Module 5 we talked about the rubric for your student sample project, along with the other assessment pieces. If you need to view the assessment plans for ideas, see pages 5.06, 5.11 and 5.12. You need to create the rubric for your student sample project and also gather or create the other 4 assessment tools for your unit. If you would like to create your own rubric, you might want to check out Rubistar. After all this is done, you need to revisit the Unit Plan, filling in any remaining blanks and also blog for this module, using the prompts on page 5.17.

So, for next week, you should have completed the following: (see page 1.07 for reference)

• Unit Plan (have as much of it filled out as possible)
• Works Cited (don’t forget to be gathering any internet sites that you have incorporated into your project)
• Gauging Student Needs Presentation (one of your assessment pieces) 
• Student Sample Project aka “evidence of student learning”
• Student Sample Project Rubric (one of your assessment pieces)
• Other Assessments (at least 4 more)
• Blogging for each module (1-5)

WHEW!!! It’s all downhill from here - I promise! Only a couple more meetings and we’re done! See you next Tuesday!
